What's so particular about Feng Shui in Tomb-Sweeping Day?

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival, and it is also a time to worship ancestors and sweep graves. In Feng Shui, there are some stresses and taboos related to Tomb-Sweeping Day. Here are some common ones:

1. Pay attention to the direction when you worship your ancestors: According to geomantic omen, the soul of your ancestors lives right behind the grave, so you should face the right behind the grave when you worship, so that you can get the protection of your ancestors.

2. Choose the right time: When offering sacrifices in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should also pay attention to auspicious days. For example, if the China-Tibet Dharma Meeting is held on this day, many people will choose to sacrifice in the morning, but it is not appropriate in the afternoon.

3. Geomantic layout of graves: Traditionally, graves should be located in places with mountains and water, which can make the atmosphere around the graves more harmonious and protect the ancestors in the tombs from disasters.

4. It is not suitable for Tomb-Sweeping Day to break ground or move graves: It is very unlucky to destroy graves or change the geomantic structure of cemeteries, so don't hold similar activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day on this day to avoid unnecessary bad luck.

5. Tomb-Sweeping Day don't go out at night: It is said that ghosts are most active between dusk and midnight, so Tomb-Sweeping Day tries not to go out at night to avoid accidents.
