Things to note when visiting a new grave in the first year: Signs of a noble person appearing at the grave

The grave is the resting place of the deceased. When we visit the grave of the deceased, we must also abide by local customs and habits. Honoring the deceased is also a way to accumulate blessings for ourselves and our descendants.

Things to note when visiting a new grave in the first year

1. Use new sacrificial items . Different places will naturally have different items, but please note that if you visit a new grave, you cannot use last year’s sacrificial items. You must set off firecrackers. In short, you should prepare fruits and incense when visiting a new grave, and you can set off firecrackers where conditions permit.
2. Avoid having branches, leaves and weeds on the grave . <br/>As the rural saying goes, if a new grave is added, paper money will float on the grave, but if there is no new grave, grass will grow on the grave. When burying a new ancestral grave, new soil should be added to the grave and branches, leaves and weeds should be cleared away. In particular, any branches growing on the grave must be removed, otherwise the tree roots will wrap around the coffin and the descendants will suffer from illness.
3. Avoid wearing red or green when visiting graves .<br/>Visiting graves is an activity for later generations to express their grief, and it is forbidden to wear brightly colored clothes, put on heavy makeup, wear gold and silver jewelry, play around or make noise, or take photos.
4. Avoid visiting graves in the morning or after dusk . <br/>In rural areas, it is said that the best time to visit graves is in the afternoon before sunset, because the Yang energy is strong during this period. Visiting graves at other times will have heavy Yin energy, which is not good for future generations.
5. Avoid joking, cursing, or criticizing the ancestors . After tomb sweeping, some people bring their children. They may be solemn at the beginning, but start playing and laughing as soon as the ceremony is over. This is something you need to pay attention to. After all, cemeteries are where spirits sleep. Laughing, scolding, and being angry will disturb the spirits and is disrespectful. Criticizing ancestors is even more unacceptable. If you pass by someone else's cemetery, commenting on the deceased is an act of blasphemy.

The omen of a noble person appearing in the cemetery

Sign 1: Red and yellow flowers appearing on the outside of rural graves <br/>Having grass growing on rural graves is a very auspicious symbol and a sign of great vitality. This means that the descendants of this tomb will have no worries and will not have to worry about food and clothing. If you smell a fragrance around a grave, or if red and yellow flowers appear on the grave (not planted by yourself), there will be wealthy women in the family of future generations, and they will drive the development of three generations.
Sign 2: Dragon clouds appear above rural houses <br/>The air coming from the sky is dragon air. If dragon clouds like a tower appear above a grave in October, it means that the ground energy here is very good. It is also a symbol of the upcoming appearance of noble men of civil and military affairs, and such dragon clouds will not dissipate in the next three days, but will gather above the tomb for a long time, and will only slowly dissipate after three days.
Sign 3: Roosters are seen crowing on rural graves <br/>Roosters are spiritual beings, and it is not without reason that we rural people often say “startling with one single cry”. If there is a rooster crowing at a grave at night, it means that the descendants of this grave will have a person who will make a name for themselves in the near future, and will be very rich in the near future.
