Taboos and Etiquette of Grave Sweeping in Tomb-Sweeping Day

1. On the day of sweeping the grave, look at your forehead in the mirror before washing your face to see if it is dark. If there is, it means you are unlucky. If you can't go to the grave, that's the best; If you must go, you can wear jade with you (ancient jade works better).

It's best not to eat food or vegetarian food before sweeping the grave, and to dress neatly to show courtesy and respect to the ancestors.

3. When you arrive at the grave of your ancestors, you will bring incense sticks, flowers and fruits and burn them. 6? 6, wine and other things and ancestors like to eat before their death (the number of sacrificial gifts is random), placed in front of the tomb. First, light incense sticks, burn incense to the place where the mountain god is in charge of the cemetery (as the patron saint of the cemetery), then respectfully bow down and offer flowers to the ancestors, then burn cymbals and drink a cup of libation (that is, sprinkle wine on the ground, meaning to toast the ancestors), and the ceremony is over. They will eat the food of their ancestors and leave after the incense sticks are lit.

4. The cemetery is the home of ghosts. Do not trespass on graves and offerings, laugh and curse, swear, grope or urinate anywhere. This is not only disrespectful to ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby gods. In the cemetery, we should compliment Neville and control our emotions and attitudes so as not to offend evil spirits.
