How to worship the new grave in the first year

1. Children and grandchildren need wine, food, three sacrifices and five fruits to worship. In the first year, you should choose a day before Qingming, the second day on Qingming and the third year after Qingming. Since then, every time before and after the Qingming Festival, the descendants have taken fruit tomb paper to sweep the grave. Pei tomb is also called Yi tomb, wall tomb and filling tomb.

2. According to the custom, the order of sweeping is to sweep the grave first, that is, to clean the cemetery. Secondly, sacrifice, this procedure is very important, one is to mourn and the other is to feel with the ancestors, because the mountains have spirits without owners, and the ancestors have masters without spirits, and feeling with the ancestors can better get the aura of mountains and rivers. Remind friends that this is Feng Shui.

3. When sweeping the grave, people bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to their loved ones' graves, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the grave, trim the grave, fold a few green branches and put some paper money on it, so that others can see it and know that there are descendants in the grave, and then kowtow and worship.

4. After that, sit around for dinner and drink; You can also fly kites and even compete with each other for related activities. Women and children will also fold some Yang Liuzhi nearby and wear the steamed food offerings with wicker. Others weave wicker into a reed and wear it on their heads, saying that "if you don't wear willow in Qingming, you will become a yellow dog in the afterlife."

5. The new grave doesn't pass the club: it means to sweep the grave in front of the Spring Club (the time of the Spring Club is generally the fifth day after beginning of spring, around the vernal equinox, but there are also sayings in China about the second day of February, the eighth day of February, the twelfth day of February and the fifteenth day of February). ）。 For example, "Shi Nan Fu Zhi" contains: "The newly buried grave will be sacrificed in front of the society, and all the men and women in the family will go." According to my very limited experience, this custom exists in most places such as Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Guangdong.
