Is it appropriate to go to the grave to worship ancestors on the spring equinox of 2022?

The vernal equinox is the fourth of the 24 solar terms. Every solar term, there will be a custom of ancestor worship everywhere. It is precisely because of this that whether 1 vernal equinox is suitable for going to the grave to worship ancestors is a question of many people. Let me have a look with you.

First, is the vernal equinox suitable for ancestor worship? It is suitable for ancestor worship on the vernal equinox. However, due to different local customs, it depends on the stress in your area.

At the vernal equinox, many places in our country will have the custom of sweeping graves to worship ancestors. Like my hometown, the new grave usually goes to the grave before the vernal equinox, and the old grave goes to the grave after the vernal equinox. The reason for this rule is that Qingming comes after the vernal equinox, and Qingming is the day when Ji Dian's ancestors died. Those of us who have died here for three years should go to the grave in advance, that is, before Tomb-Sweeping Day and after the vernal equinox. Old graves can also be visited in advance according to their own time. However, not after the festival.

Second, why do people go to the grave to worship their ancestors? After the vernal equinox, Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming. We will go to Tomb-Sweeping Day in three days, that is, the first three days in Tomb-Sweeping Day. After Tomb-Sweeping Day, we will no longer go to the grave to worship our ancestors. That is to say, after Tomb-Sweeping Day, we will no longer get what we gave our ancestors, so everyone will go to the grave to worship our ancestors in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day involves every household, and some people do business outside, and the company works in all walks of life. This is the reason for going to the grave after crossing the pass.

Third, what should we pay attention to in the spring equinox and solar terms? 1. Preparation of Tribute and Sacrifice: Pan Gong (i.e. steamed bread) for offering in front of the hall is prepared in turn according to the size requirements. Sacrifice (meat) is mainly pork, and cows, sheep and chickens can be prepared according to their ability; Every household can also prepare some other dining tables, dried fruits, sugar, fruits and so on. , can be prepared at will, there is no uniform regulation. However, after the host directs the unified donation, the head of the delegation will arrange a unified meal.

2. After the sacrifice, the offerings, including wishing, wine and meat, raw and cooked food, etc., are distributed fairly by households, and fruits, dried fruits, sugar, etc. are distributed according to the actual number of households. At the same time, the food that everyone will eat when going to the grave should also be given to the elderly and patients who can't go to the grave.

3. The meals cooked at the grave site should first respect the elderly and guests, and then be evenly distributed to everyone by the managers in the correct order, so as to ensure that everyone reaches their mouths, be humble to each other and live up to expectations.
