Want to know more about the days in the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2019? Please pay attention to our Shuimoxiansheng website’s special topic for October 2019 of the lunar calendar!What are the three offerings placed at graves during the Cold Clothes Festival?Generally speaking, the offerings prepared for visiting the graves on the day of the Cold Clothes Festival include cold clothes (paper clothes), incense and candles, paper money, fruits, dumplings, colored paper, incense foil, vegetarian wine and other tributes.The memorial ceremony of sending winter clothes can be held at home or at the tomb. The home memorial ceremony can be held at the doorstep or at a nearby intersection, but attention should be paid to dry weather and caution should be exercised to prevent fire. Generally speaking, it is best to offer sacrifices at the grave for those who have just passed away this year. When offering sacrifices to the grave, it is best to choose before noon. The yin energy is heavier at this time, so it is necessary to avoid it appropriately, especially for the elderly, children and the weak. After the offerings were prepared, the family sent the children to the street to buy some colored paper, paper money, and incense foil for later use. The five-color paper comes in five colors: red, yellow, blue, white and black. It is thin and some even have cotton in the middle. After lunch at noon, the housewife cleaned the stove and gathered the family together so that they could go to the grave and burn winter clothes. Is it possible to visit graves in advance during the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019?The day for sending winter clothes can only be advanced and cannot be postponed . There is a folk saying that if the deceased does not receive winter clothes on the Cold Clothes Festival, he will not be able to put on his sleeves or pull up his pants. After being born, he will wipe his nose with his sleeves when getting dressed and kick his pants when wearing them. This behavior will accompany him throughout his life. In other words: you can advance, but you can’t delay!If you can't go on the same day, it's best to go 2-3 days in advance. Going too far in advance won't work either. What should you pay attention to when visiting graves during the Cold Clothes Festival?You cannot offer sacrifices to people who died suddenly (people who died unexpectedly).Worship in the ancestral hall or in front of the tablet, where the heavenly souls can be communicated with at any time, no matter it is morning or evening. There is no ancestral hall or tablet, and at a deserted intersection (or roadside), the heavenly soul can be communicated with smoothly only at night, so worship is only done at night. There are not many other procedures when worshiping in the ancestral hall or in front of the tablet. You just need to light three incense sticks, call on the ancestors while burning paper and make a wish to protect your family. Draw a circle on the ground that is not closed but has a small opening, so that the ancestors can receive the blessings of worship; First, burn some paper outside the circle to reward the five directions of the land and the past of the void; Burn paper in the circle, asking the land and the void to pass these blessings to the ancestors; When burning paper, you can make a wish to your ancestors for blessings. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
