So when is the best time to visit the tombs and pay homage on the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019? Why do we send winter clothes on the Cold Clothes Festival? The tenth month of the lunar calendar is also called the Dew Moon, because there is abundant dew in October when autumn turns to winter. Let’s go to Shuimoxiansheng.com to take a look at the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2019.When is the best time to visit graves and pay respects during Cold Clothes Festival 2019?The best time to visit graves and sweep tombs during the Cold Clothes Festival is between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., when the yang energy is most abundant in the day . You should not visit graves in the afternoon. In addition, those who are ill should not participate. The elderly, children and pregnant women are not suitable to go to the cemetery. Those who have had bad luck recently should not participate. Also, don't go to the cemetery after dark. During the sacrifice, do not laugh or play games at the grave, do not utter disrespectful words, and leave cleanly and neatly without leaving any stolen items.The best time to visit the graves on the Cold Clothes Festival is on the same day. If you are really not free on that day, you can go 2-3 days in advance, but never postpone it. 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. Why do we give winter clothes on Cold Clothes Festival?In the ancient book "The Book of Songs·Bin Feng·July", there is a saying that "the fireflies fly in July and clothes are given out in September." The Records of Customs of China states: "The first day of the tenth month is commonly known as the October Day. No matter how poor or wealthy a person is, they all offer sacrifices to their ancestors and burn clothes for the dead. This is called the 'Burning Clothes Festival'."Taoists believe that on the day of Cold Clothes Festival, the Five Emperors will gather in the North at the Five Qi Black Sky. On the day when the Five Emperors gather together, they examine the ghosts and check the good and evil deeds of the ancestors of the living and their descendants in order to determine their blessings and sins. All the living people on this day have suffered from the calamities, so they should hold a ceremony to express their gratitude. Sacrifices must be made with the power of magic to redeem their sufferings and obtain blessings one by one. Ordinary sacrifices cannot be enjoyed. After the first day of the tenth lunar month in the north, the weather becomes colder day by day. For this reason, people not only send winter clothes to the deceased, but the living also have to carry out some traditional activities that symbolize the winter . As the saying goes, "good luck is better than good fate." A person's destiny is determined, and the only thing that can be grasped is his or her "luck." Unpredictable events happen in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.
