Remember the three taboos of Qingming, and sweep the grave to sweep out good fortune.
I believe many people choose to go out for an outing during the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday. If you want to visit the grave and offer sacrifices to your ancestors, please remember these three taboos:
1. Taking photos in front of the grave
In Feng Shui, there are two kinds of houses, namely, Yang House and Yin House, and they all pay attention to "hiding wind and gathering qi", with the aim of keeping all kinds of evil spirits from hurting, and at the same time gathering beneficial to the living and the dead. Therefore, yang houses gather yang, and cemeteries generally choose places where yin and qi gather.
Some people feel that spring is beautiful and like some photos. Some people also "take photos" with their ancestors in front of the graveyard to show their memory. The yin qi gathered in the graveyard is likely to interfere with the gas field of people in the photo, affecting health and fortune. Especially some people who are weak or unlucky, we must be wary of this.

Second, setting off firecrackers
Many people like to set off a string of firecrackers in the grave after the rituals such as incense, libation and offering, so as to create a festive atmosphere for their ancestors. The graveyard is a place where yin qi gathers. The more vigorous the yin qi is, the stronger the ancestors' sensitivity to their descendants, that is to say, the more they will show the effect of shade.
Firecrackers are violent and pure yang things, originally used to drive away evil spirits. When firecrackers are set off, a lot of positive breath will be released, which is likely to interfere with the gas field of the cemetery. Those explosive sounds may also disturb the rest of the souls of the dead.

Third, it caused many places in huang huo to keep the custom of burning paper money, and the fire source was not properly handled after the burning. After people leave, the wind blows on Mars, causing the nearby vegetation to burn, which often leads to "single spark can start a prairie fire". Abandoning wild fires is harmful to forests and public safety, but from the perspective of geomantic omen, it is very unfavorable to the dead and the living.
the smell of a place is mostly judged by the growth of vegetation. After huang huo, the vicinity of the fire source, including the surrounding area of the graveyard, must be scorched, which is harmful to Feng Shui in the first place. Furthermore, after Tomb-Sweeping Day, all kinds of animals had already ended their dormancy and crawled to the surface. After huang huo, it was difficult for these animals to escape from the fire.
