Will someone die within three years after a new grave is dug? What should be prepared for a new grave?

The customs of visiting graves vary from place to place. In some areas of China, it is stipulated that new graves cannot be dug within three years. This traditional custom has extremely complex reasons. So will someone die within three years of digging a new grave? What should I prepare for visiting a new grave?

Will someone die within three years of digging a new grave?

The saying that someone will die within three years of breaking ground on a new grave is a bit exaggerated, but it also indirectly expresses that it is not appropriate to break ground within three years of the new year. If you break ground within three years, it will make your ancestors uneasy and even have an adverse effect on future generations.
According to folk sayings, a new grave contains a lot of evil spirits, and breaking ground itself can easily hurt the immature "vital spirits", causing damage to the vitality of the grave. So remember that new graves cannot be broken ground. In order to be responsible for your descendants, you should not make this common sense mistake.
According to regulations, the main festivals for young people to visit graves to pay homage to the elderly are Ghost Festival, Qingming Festival and the elderly's death anniversary. Apart from these festivals, there is really no need to visit graves frequently to pay homage, because worshiping over and over again does not seem to produce much good effect, and cannot help oneself resist disasters. It is even possible to be contaminated by some unclean things in the circle of graves, and then it will be too late for regret.

What to prepare for a new grave

Customs vary from place to place, so just prepare according to local customs;
In some areas, a new grave needs to be maintained within three years after it is completed: descendants must offer wine and food, three kinds of meat and five kinds of fruits as sacrifices, and the first year's tomb must be opened after the Spring Festival before Qingming Festival. "New graves cannot be swept before the Spring Festival" refers to new graves, that is, people who died in the previous year or the current year. In some areas, it refers to people who died within three years of the new grave. Tomb sweeping must be done before the Spring Festival. Spring Festival is the fifth day after the beginning of spring. From then on, he led his descendants to sweep the graves around the Qingming Festival, bringing fruit and paper money.

Steps of New Grave Worship

According to custom, the order of tomb sweeping is to sweep the tomb first, that is, to clean the cemetery. The second is sacrifice, which is a crucial procedure. First, it is to express grief, and second, it is to communicate with ancestors. Because mountains have spirits but no masters, and ancestors have masters but no spirits, communicating with ancestors can better obtain the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. Remind friends that this is Feng Shui.
Descendants need to bring wine, food, three kinds of meat and five kinds of fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of the tomb of their relatives, burn the paper money, add new soil to the tomb, repair the tomb, break a few green branches and insert them on the tomb, and put some paper money on it so that others can see it and know that there are still descendants in this tomb, and then kowtow and pay tribute. (Tomb-building is also called tomb-building, wall-building, and tomb-filling.)
