Is it good to bury a new grave on top of an old one?

not good;
1. If you move a new grave to another location, if the new grave is too close to the old grave, the earth's energy will easily dissipate. The foundation of the new grave is unstable and the old grave's yin energy is heavier, which will easily affect the new grave. The old grave will easily attract wandering souls who have not been buried after death, which is very bad for the new grave and will easily let others take over its fortune.
2. If it is a newly added grave, it is best not to place it too close to the old grave. If it is a relative (must be a direct relative), there will not be any big problem.
3. The distance between graves in rural areas should be more than six meters. If it does not exceed six meters, the graves need to be covered with soil every Qingming Festival. The graves will become larger and larger, and finally their diameter will reach four meters. If they are too close, they will be close to other graves. It is also not good for the feng shui of the family.

What should you pay attention to when visiting graves?

Before visiting the grave, you must make yourself clean and decent. At the very least, you must wash your hair, take a shower, and do your laundry. Don't look dirty, as this would be a blasphemy to your deceased relatives. When visiting the graves, you must keep a serious expression. Not to mention crying, but at least you cannot laugh or joke. Especially at the grave, do not eat all the time, or make phone calls or chat all the time, otherwise your deceased relatives will feel sad after seeing it, and it may even affect the future fortune of your descendants. In addition, after visiting the grave, try not to go home immediately. You can go to crowded places, such as a hot pot restaurant or a pedestrian street. Wait until all the foul air on your body is gone, then it is best to go home.
