There are certain rules for choosing the time to visit the graves and worship ancestors. So, let’s take a look at whether we can visit the graves and worship ancestors on November 24, 2021 in the lunar calendar? "The Book of Rites: Monthly Ordinances" says: "The month of mid-winter is called Changyue." "Chang means full." Therefore, the eleventh month of the lunar calendar is also called Changyue. In this November of the lunar calendar in 2021, Mr. Shui Mo will spend a happy month with you.Is it possible to visit the graves and worship ancestors on November 24th of the lunar calendar in 2021?Lunar calendar: November 24, 2021 Gregorian calendar: December 27, 2021, Monday [Today’s lunar calendar]Today is a small red sand day, don’t use it for important matters [Taboo for today’s lunar calendar] Because it is a day of small red sand, don't use it for important events. Therefore, it is not recommended to visit the graves and worship the ancestors on that day. What taboos should we pay attention to when worshiping our ancestors?The order of tomb sweeping is to sweep the tomb first, which means cleaning the cemetery. The second is sacrifice, which is a crucial procedure. First, it is to express grief, and second, it is to communicate with ancestors. Because mountains have spirits but no masters, and ancestors have masters but no spirits, communicating with ancestors can better obtain the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. This is Feng Shui. When sweeping the graves, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of their relatives' graves, burn the paper money, add new soil to the graves, repair the graves, break off a few green branches and insert them on the graves, and put some paper money on top so that others can see that there are still descendants in this grave, and then kowtow and pay their respects.Ancestor worship should be performed in person at the cemetery, but due to various reasons, many people cannot return to their hometown to participate in the grave worship activities, so they can also worship their ancestors at home. The method is to place food for worship on the balcony or in the living room towards the direction of your hometown, burn three incense sticks, bow three times, and silently recite relevant words. Then, paper money is burned as a sacrifice. When you start to sweep the tombs, it is best not to eat food or to eat vegetarian food, and to dress neatly to show courtesy and respect to the ancestors. When sweeping the graves, you are not allowed to laugh or curse, because the cemetery is the abode of the spirits. Therefore, you are not allowed to step over the graves and offerings, make loud noises, laugh, curse, use foul language, run around, touch things, or urinate anywhere. Doing so is not only disrespectful to your ancestors, but also constitutes a nuisance to the spirits nearby. You are not allowed to trample on other people's graves or comment on the design of the tomb. This will be regarded as blasphemy. If you encounter bad aura, you will be in trouble when you return home. |
