Taboos on tomb-sweeping day

1. Don’t visit the graves too late

The best time to visit the graves is between sunrise and 3 p.m. Because the light is not good before sunrise and the yin energy has not yet dissipated, while after three o'clock, the yang energy gradually dissipates and the yin energy gradually increases, it is easy to attract evil spirits or other unclean things.

2. The order of worship should be distinguished

When sweeping the tombs, the order of priority should be: father, mother, eldest son, eldest daughter, second son, and second daughter. And so on. If there are offerings, people can only eat after the ancestors have "enjoyed" them.

3. Women should not visit graves

According to the ancients, women are feminine, and if they enter a grave site with a lot of yin, it may have a negative impact on their consciousness (such as being frightened); ghosts and gods are afraid of women's menstrual blood, so pregnant women and women who are menstruating should not visit the graves.

4. Reduce entertainment activities

On Qingming Festival, you should try to avoid entertainment activities, and avoid quarreling, causing trouble, bragging, or saying irrelevant things, in order to show respect for your ancestors.
