What are the customs of adding to graves during Qingming Festival?

1. Introduction to the timing of adding graves
There are certain rules for adding new soil, but generally three shovels are enough. And it must be sprinkled on the grave. Never pat or knock on the grave. Patting or knocking on the grave is a great disrespect to the deceased ancestors and is also a manifestation of filial piety towards their ancestors by descendants.
2. The location of the grave is important
There are certain rules and regulations for adding soil to a grave. During the Qingming Festival, soil is usually added to the left or right side of the grave. Generally, the left and right sides are where the coffin is placed. The head of the coffin is the back of the grave, and the direction of the deceased's feet is the front, which is where the tombstone is erected. No soil can be taken from the front and back to add to the grave, and no soil can be disturbed from the head and front. Moving it would be a great disrespect to the deceased. It is not advisable to take soil from the northwest direction of the tomb. The northwest symbolizes the sky, and on the other hand, it also symbolizes the ancestors of the tomb owner. Soil cannot be disturbed here.
