What does "New Mountain But Society" mean? My father passed away on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in 2015. On what date should I go to worship the mountain?

After the burial, no more than three years are required for the new mountain. That is, within three years after the burial, ancestors must be worshiped in front of the Spring Society or the Autumn Society. Therefore, you can go to worship the mountain within three years before the Spring Society or the Autumn Society.

How to calculate Chunshe Day: It is the second "Wu" day before Qingming (any six days that fall on Wuzi, Wuyin, Wuchen, Wuwu, Wushen, and Wuxu are called Wu days. Also known as "Six Pen"). Therefore, Chunshe usually takes place ten days before Qingming Festival. Qiu She Day is the day to worship the earth god in autumn. It began in the Han Dynasty and was celebrated on the fifth day after the Beginning of Autumn in later generations.

Qingming Festival, also known as "grave sweeping", refers to the "respect and thinking time" for the ancestors. Its customs have a long history. In some places, Qingming is called "sweeping the mountain" or "worshiping the mountain", while in some southern areas, due to the respect for ancestors or the rhetorical habit of "removing evil and seeking beauty", Qingming is called "hanging the mountain" Or hanging paper”.

For example, tomb-sweeping during Qingming Festival is called grave-sweeping in the north. In order to avoid the words "tomb" and "tomb", the southern coastal areas euphemistically call it "mountain worship". It is more quaint to call tomb sweeping "mountain worship". One of the ancient meanings of the word "mountain" is "tomb". Feng shui masters still refer to the sitting posture in the cemetery as "the direction of the mountain".
