Matters needing attention in breaking ground and opening graves in cemeteries

Sometimes the cemetery needs to be moved for some reason, so the ground must be broken first. Then, from the perspective of cemetery geomantic omen, we need to pay attention to geomantic omen when moving. What about breaking ground and opening a grave? This is of course necessary.

Now, let's take a look with me and see what we need to pay attention to when we break ground and open a grave.

The following six points should be paid attention to when a cemetery breaks ground and opens a grave.

First, when breaking ground, dig from the front of the ancestral grave, not the back.

Breaking ground and opening graves should be carried out according to ancestors, from the first to the youngest. It must be remembered that when you break ground, you should dig from the front of the ancestral grave, not the back, so as to avoid the danger of "death".

Second, put the tombstone first, and then break the ground.

In a cemetery with tombstones, put the tombstones first and then break the ground.

Third, don't kill auspicious creatures.

When the cemetery breaks ground, you will find auspicious creatures such as turtles, snakes, mice and toads. Never kill them at will.

Fourth, open the coffin and avoid burying it.

After breaking the ground and seeing the coffin, continue to dig around the coffin, so that no soil will fall into the coffin from above when opening the coffin.

5. Open the museum to avoid light.

Cover the whole tomb with a parasol before opening the coffin to avoid the sun exposure to ancestral bone colonization.

Six, wait a moment after opening the coffin.

After shading, don't completely open the coffin lid, but open a gap in the coffin lid to let the body breathe, and then open it later.
