Do you kowtow three times or four times when visiting a grave?

There are many sayings about kowtow among the people, such as "three for gods and four for ghosts". This saying has existed since ancient times. When people worship gods, for example, when they kowtow to immortals, they will kowtow three times. If they are worshiping their ancestors, such as on Qingming Festival, they will kowtow four times. The same is true at funerals. Therefore, in folk funerals, people kowtow four times. Four is the homonym of "death", and the ancients believed that four was an odd number, so there is such a requirement. Therefore, when offering sacrifices in many places, the number of sacrifices is generally four.
