Why can't Tomb-Sweeping Day go to the grave in 2023?

Because 2023 is a leap month in a leap year, it is disrespectful to go to the grave on a clear day in a leap month.

From the perspective of folklore, "leap year and leap month" is also called "empty moon" or "empty moon". "Empty" means nothing, and "empty" means something illusory, just like a tree without roots, reflected in the water. Therefore, many people tend to avoid the "empty moon" in important activities such as weddings, funerals, building houses and moving houses.

China traditional calendar usually divides 24 solar terms into 12 solar terms and 12 solar terms. Any month with only solar terms but no solar terms will be regarded as a leap month last month, while the March of the lunar calendar in 2023 has only clear solar terms but no solar terms, so 2023 is a leap February. In some proverbs, people think that if the leap month is clear and definite, it will lead to serious disasters.

Pay attention to the grave

2. Don't laugh at and curse the grave.

Going to the grave is a very serious matter. Laughing loudly and cursing loudly will disturb the mood of our ancestors and show disrespect to them. Even the desecration of the dead, so going to the grave must be serious, quiet and full of sadness.

3. Don't trample on other cemeteries.

4. Don't take photos on the grave.

It is best not to take pictures when going to the grave, especially when taking pictures of the living and the cemetery. Better not show up. Once this photo appears, it will affect the fortune of the next year, and the health fortune will also be affected.
