Avoid buying shoes during Qingming FestivalIt is not advisable to buy shoes during Qingming Festival, because shoes have the same pronunciation as "evil", which is unlucky. If you need shoes, you should buy them at a different time. If you accidentally break the taboo, you need to wrap your shoes with red paper, leave them at the door overnight, and then burn the red paper early in the morning. 2. Avoid going back to your parents’ home during the Qingming Festival During the Qingming Festival, it is not appropriate for a married daughter to return to her parents' home, let alone visit the graves there. According to the older generation, if a daughter returns to her parents' home to sweep the grave, it will be bad for her father-in-law and will take away the good feng shui of her parents' cemetery. Not only will it be detrimental to her parents' family's fortune, it will also easily attract gossip. 3. Pregnant women are not allowed to visit graves during the Qingming Festival Pregnant women should not visit graves during the Qingming Festival, because the Yin energy is strong during this period, which will affect pregnant women and children. In addition, tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival can easily lead to fatigue and accidents, which can threaten the safety of the fetus if you are not careful. In addition, the weather and surrounding environment during tomb-sweeping are not conducive to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. 4. The weak are not allowed to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival During the Qingming Festival, people who are ill or in poor spirits are advised not to visit the graves. This is because the body is at its weakest when a person is sick, and it is easy for others to "take advantage of the opportunity", and it is very easy for the creatures from the underworld to possess the person and cause trouble after returning home. In addition, pregnant women and children under six years old also need to be cautious when visiting graves. 5. Avoid taking photos at cemeteries during the Qingming Festival You are not allowed to take photos when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival. There is a god above our heads. When visiting the graves, you must not take photos together or even take photos casually at the cemetery, otherwise it will attract bad things. It is very likely to cause an imbalance of yin and yang in one's own body, damage one's fortune, and in serious cases, even lose the protection of one's ancestors. 6. Avoid wearing bright red or purple during the Qingming Festival Avoid wearing bright red or purple clothes when visiting graves on Qingming Festival. Plain colors should be the main color, and the outfit should be simple and decent. Because tomb sweeping is a very serious matter, wearing too bright and weird clothes is disrespectful to the ancestors. In addition, you should not wear too much red when visiting graves on Qingming Festival, and you should not wear red accessories (except for those in their zodiac year). Things to note during Qingming Festival1. Be careful not to step on paper moneyDuring the Qingming Festival, the cemeteries and grave sites will inevitably be messy. At this time, you must pay attention to your feet and be sure not to step on paper money or paper ashes. If you encounter one, it is best to step over it or take a detour, and say "excuse me" while doing so. 2. Make sure to expose your forehead During the Qingming Festival, you should expose your forehead, do not wear a hat or let your bangs down, especially when visiting graves or taking night tours. Because the forehead is the place where the life gate is located, if it is covered it will be disadvantageous to oneself and it will be easy for evil spirits to take advantage of the opportunity and enter. 3. Pay attention to the order of seniority when visiting graves Tomb sweeping and worshipping during the Qingming Festival requires attention to seniority. The order of worship is: father, mother, eldest son, eldest daughter, second son, second daughter... and so on. After the worship is completed, the offerings are blessed by the ancestors, so everyone can eat the offerings. 4. Remember to wash your body and clothes after tomb sweeping After visiting the graves during the Qingming Festival, you must clean your shoes, because “shoes” and “evil” have the same pronunciation, so shoes are more likely to bring back unclean things. In addition, it is best to take a shower and wash your body from head to toe after visiting the graves, and also wash all the clothes on your body. 5. Pay attention to trimming the weeds in front of the grave When visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, you must tidy up the cemetery before offering sacrifices. For example, you should pull out or cut the weeds in front of, behind and around the graves as appropriate. Only when the grave is cleaned up properly will the ancestors be happy, and the grass and trees on the grave are not good for one's luck and health. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
