It is said that an emperor once mistakenly killed his general Han Shizhong and his wife Liang Hongyu. He felt deeply guilty and asked a famous Taoist priest to perform a ritual so that all the offerings from people who visited their ancestors' graves on the day before Qingming Festival would be transferred to the Han family. Therefore, if you visit your ancestors' graves on the day before Qingming Festival, they will not be able to receive the offerings you made. Therefore, the day before Qingming Festival is not suitable for tomb sweeping. Of course, there is no such saying in some areas, and the specific situation needs to be judged based on local customs and habits. In addition to not being allowed to visit the graves the day before, the time for visiting the graves on Qingming Festival cannot be too early. The most you can do is one or two weeks in advance. It is not recommended to visit the graves one month in advance. Introduction to the time of tomb sweeping for new and old gravesThe time for tomb sweeping also needs to be differentiated according to whether it is a new grave or an old grave.Introduction to the time for sweeping new graves: A new grave refers to a grave that has been buried for no more than three years.
