Can daughters visit graves during the Qingming Festival? Some places believe that they can, while others say that they cannot. ——Reasons for not visiting graves
(1) No successor
In some areas, people still believe in feudalism and superstition, and favoring boys over girls is a serious problem. If daughters are allowed to visit the graves, their ancestors and outsiders will think that their family has no successors and no sons.
(2) It will affect the father-in-law
In some areas, it is believed that a married daughter returning to her parents' home to sweep the tomb will have a great impact on her father-in-law. There is a saying among the people that "if you don't taboo Qingming, your father-in-law will die." It means that if you return to your parents' home on Qingming Festival, it will be bad for your father-in-law. However, this saying is more traditional.

What are the taboos for daughters to visit graves?

1. Young daughters cannot visit graves
No matter where the customs are, it is not appropriate for young daughters to visit the graves. Generally speaking, if a child is under six years old, regardless of gender, it is not appropriate for him to attend activities such as visiting graves and worshiping ancestors. Because children's yang energy is relatively weak, if they go to places with heavy yin energy, they are more likely to see unclean things.
2. Married daughters cannot visit the graves
It is not appropriate for a married daughter to return to her parents' home to visit the graves. She can only worship the ancestral graves of her husband's family at her husband's home, but not to return to her parents' home to worship the ancestral graves of her husband's family. Because in people's traditional concepts, a married daughter is a member of the husband's family, so a married daughter is a member of the husband's family and cannot return to her parents' home to visit the graves and worship her ancestors.
