The tenth month of the ancient calendar is divided by the Beginning of Winter, but the first day of the tenth month of the ancient calendar is the Cold Clothes Festival recognized by the people. In many places, people will burn clothes at the graves on this day. What I know is that for those who died in May, June and July of that year, their descendants must burn paper money and burn winter clothes on the first day of October, because the people who died in these months did not wear clothes to keep out the cold. If they do not burn winter clothes, they will always say it is cold in their dreams. The cold winter is here, and it will be cold without clothes to keep out the cold. To burn winter clothes, you have to write a note to make paper clothes, and some even have to indicate who burned the winter clothes. Now some people go to the supermarket to buy new clothes to burn. According to the old rules, the deceased cannot receive them. If the clothes worn by the deceased are burned, the deceased can receive them. Regardless of whether they have received them or not, the Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October is a way of remembrance. When the cold winter is coming, descendants still think that the deceased did not have winter clothes to keep out the cold, and they have to greet them. This is the interpretation of the word filial piety. There is no fixed rule as to whether to burn them at the grave, but they must be outside the eaves. This is the folk custom I know about.
