What is the process of tomb sweeping?

1. Cleaning and adding soil: To achieve the purpose, first of all, the tombstone, tomb turtle, Mingtang, and incense burner should be cleaned with a dust whisk. At the same time, the cemetery should be carefully inspected. If there are cracks, collapses, damages or abnormal conditions, they should be repaired or adjusted as soon as possible. For burial, there is a tomb of Hou Tu. The weeds should be cleared and new soil should be added to cover it. This is very important, as it affects the prosperity and fortune of the family of the person sweeping the tomb.

2. Clean the incense burner: The incense burner in the cemetery has been exposed to the sun and rain all year round and has become lumpy with dust and dirt, so the soil in the incense burner needs to be loosened to the point where incense can be inserted. Make sure the incense is inserted firmly once. Avoid pulling out the incense stick and reinserting it if you find it cannot be inserted firmly.

3. Offerings: These can be food and wine such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, flowers, snacks, vegetarian fruits, cakes, etc., or the food that the deceased liked during his or her lifetime. It is taboo to have duplicate offerings of the same kind. Remember all these.

4. Burning paper: This is the last item in the tomb-sweeping process. Paper money, ingots made of tinfoil, and ghost money from the "Underworld Bank" are collectively called gold paper. The tinfoil ingots should be placed in a red gold paper bag, and the gold paper bag should be burned first. The name of the ancestor, the name of the descendant being offered, and the lunar date of the offering should be written in black on the gold paper bag. Remember to pay attention to fire prevention, safety is the most important thing.
