When sweeping graves, it is suggested not to choose black clothes to avoid angering Yin Qi. But don't choose to wear brightly colored clothes such as red or yellow, otherwise you will feel disrespectful to the deceased. So it is better to choose plain clothes. In addition, it is recommended not to buy shoes, because "shoes" and "evil" are homophonic, and buying shoes will provoke evil spirits and affect fortune.
Prepare a bouquet
Since ancient times, white flowers have been the most common way to worship and sweep graves. In ancient times, chrysanthemum was regarded as a flower of sustenance, which meant missing and homesickness. So white chrysanthemum is the most suitable flower for grave sweeping. If there are no special circumstances, it is best not to use flowers with bright colors and rich fragrance, so as not to give people the impression of disrespecting the deceased.
5. Time is very particular.
From the point of view of cemetery geomantic omen, it is best to choose when the sun is shining. It is recommended to sweep the grave at noon, that is, between 1 1 and 13, because this period is the peak time of the day.

taboo
1. Too sick to go to the grave
When going to the grave, the atmosphere here is negative and energetic because of the gas field, so it is not suitable for some weak and sick people to go to the grave. First, they are in poor health and the road to the grave is very tired. Secondly, it is inevitable to be sad when offering sacrifices, which is caused by the gas field. This will lead to more and more weaknesses. But also aggravate the situation. Therefore, people who are weak and sick should not go to the grave in July 15. All people eat exactly the same food, but some people like being sick and some people don't. People who don't like getting sick are usually strong. If they are strong, they won't get sick, while people who are already weak are prone to serious illness.
2. I don't know the depth of speaking loudly.
As a solemn activity, the sacrifice to the grave should be carried out in a quiet and pleasant environment. And as a ancestor worship, we should pay more attention to etiquette. Don't make noise on the grave, don't laugh and curse. Some people will also say some obscure words, especially some scenes that do not meet the requirements. Such behavior is disrespectful to our ancestors. Ancestors will naturally feel cold when they see their offspring so miserable and behave badly, and naturally there will be no more good luck and blessings. So what kind of rules should we have on any occasion? It is not advisable to cross the line.
3. Pregnant women can't go to the grave.
No matter which festival it is, pregnant women are not suitable to go, and the atmosphere in the cemetery will be bad for the fetus. And travel fatigue will also bring discomfort to pregnant women.
4. Leave without burning the paper completely.
The three "Ghost Festivals" every year are also the days with the most fires, especially in Tomb-Sweeping Day in spring and autumn and the first day of October. The weather is dry in these two periods, and the wind is still very strong this season. Every year, burning paper on the grave will cause a fire. In some seasons, the wind is so strong that the paper is scraped off when it is lit. If you get some dry branches and grass, it will ignite.
For burning paper, you must wait until the paper is completely burned. Burning paper will cause the resurgence of mountain fires every year, and some will also cause great tragedies. Therefore, we must pay attention to this when offering sacrifices. Make sure there is no danger after burning paper.
5. burn paper instead of sweeping the grave.
In a hurry, perfunctory, July 15 is the day of burning paper. Some people regard burning paper as a matter of burning or not. It doesn't take a few minutes to come and go in a hurry. Turn the paper away after burning. This kind of behavior is improper. Before burning paper, you should clean up the weeds around the grave. As the saying goes, "there are few descendants in the grave, and there is no grass on the grave." As the old saying goes, if the tomb collapses and becomes smaller with the change of annual rings, it also means that future generations will not continue and fewer people will come to worship. Naturally no one fills the grave. So let the tomb collapse gradually, becoming shorter and smaller until it disappears.
If there is no grass on the grave, it can be proved that this place is lifeless. Not only will it lead to bad luck, but it will also have a great impact on future generations. On the contrary, the green grass above the grave is full of vitality. Although the grass around the grave has been proved to be full of vitality, there are still many weeds to be removed when going to the grave to worship, especially in July and a half, which is the peak season for vegetation growth. If these weeds are not cleaned up in time, it will be very destructive to the farmland in front of and around the grave. So clean up before burning paper, and then burn paper for sacrifice.
