Importance of Ancestor Worship

Qingming Festival is the biggest day for ancestor worship and tomb sweeping in my country, so most people sweep tombs on Qingming Festival. In the eyes of Chinese people, Qingming Festival is very important. If you do not participate in ancestor worship during Qingming Festival, you are an unfilial person and a person who forgets your ancestors. However, I would like to remind everyone that some ethnic groups hold similar activities on other days. For example, "March 3" is the day for the Zhuang people in Guangxi to worship their ancestors.

Feng Shui perspective

Can pregnant women visit graves during Qingming Festival? From the perspective of Feng Shui, cemeteries are mostly dark places with too much negative energy. Therefore, pregnant women are best not to go to cemeteries, as it is not good for your health and that of your baby. If there are special circumstances, you must also bring a talisman. When visiting graves on Qingming Festival, people not only set off firecrackers and burn incense and paper, but also cause great air pollution. Moreover, it is mostly rainy during the Qingming Festival, making it inconvenient to go up the mountain. For the health of you and your child, pregnant women should not go to the graves during the Qingming Festival. It is recommended that you worship your ancestors at home.
