How effective is ancestor worship during Qingming Festival?
Every time during the Qingming Festival, we go to our ancestors’ graves to burn paper and give money to our deceased relatives. This is a Chinese custom and a way to be filial to our children and mourn their relatives. But there is one thing that not many people know now. When you burn paper money to visit the graves of your loved ones and express your grief as a filial act, your own luck will also change!
In the cycle of life, each of us is the host of our soul. Although the body of a person who has passed away has died, his soul is still there.
After a person dies, the soul has to wait for a new host before reincarnating again. But this waiting process may last for a long time, perhaps more than ten years or decades, or even longer.
During the days of waiting for reincarnation, they, like us living people, hope that their living relatives can give them some food, and even more hope that they can send them money.
Every Tomb-Sweeping Day, we burn paper money for them. Once they have money, they won’t often pester us for money. It should be noted that those who are pestered are those with Yin Qi. We living people are The stronger the yang energy, the better the luck. If there is yin energy in the body, how can things go smoothly?
As long as it is burned and the words are spoken, they can receive the money sent, receive gifts from relatives, and understand every word we say.
When they live a better life, they will help us in the dark, so we can do things more smoothly and make money easier.

The family has a lot of civil servants working in various places, and there are also several high-ranking officials. Every year on the night before Qingming Festival, the eldest son and grandson of each family come to visit each other. What to do? Ancestor worship and vigil. Because they know where their roots are, and they know that a prosperous family is the result of the virtues accumulated by their ancestors.
