Can we visit graves and worship our ancestors during the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 2018?
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year is my country's Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival to commemorate the famous Chinese poet Qu Yuan, so it is a rather tragic festival. So, can we visit graves and worship our ancestors on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 2018? The first noon of the fifth lunar month, in midsummer, is a good day for climbing Shunyang. Let us welcome the Dragon Boat Festival and experience the 2018 Dragon Boat Festival together on the Fortune Teller website.Can we visit graves and worship our ancestors during the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 2018?From the perspective of traditional customs: the Dragon Boat Festival is suitable for visiting graves and worshipping ancestors ;One of the most important and common activities of the Dragon Boat Festival is to worship ancestors. 1. People not only commemorate the poet Qu Yuan who committed suicide by jumping into the river, but also in some places they commemorate the loyal minister Wu Zixu and the filial daughter Cao E. On this day, they make a lot of rice dumplings and throw them into the river, just like visiting the grave of the dead, and they enjoy the rest themselves, so rice dumplings are actually a kind of sacrificial offering. 2. Sadness is inevitable during sacrifices, so on this day, like Qingming Festival, people artificially create strong yin energy. These yin energies, like yang energy, can also harm people who are mentally and physically weak. Notice: Such as depression, bad mood, physical pain and so on. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day not suitable for anything, especially for festive activities such as taking office, moving, starting construction, opening a business, getting married, and celebrations; it is also not suitable for participating in entertainment activities. The right choice is to return home to visit parents and reunite with family. Judging from the lunar calendar, the Dragon Boat Festival is not a very auspicious day for ancestor worship . 【should】 [Do not use Yang Gong's taboo day for important events] Pray for blessings, get married, receive wealth, open the market, prepare food, fast and offer sacrifices, receive betrothal gifts, build, take office, seek heirs, raise the beam, plant, receive livestock, give gifts, grant amnesty, seal graves, offer sacrifices, establish contracts, and build embankments [taboo] [Do not use Yang Gong's death anniversary for important events] Setting up the bed, building the bed, burying the coffin, breaking the ground, drilling for burial, acupuncture, moving the house, separation, fire, travel, seeking medical treatment, breaking ground, erecting pillars, and building a house In the almanac, we can see that there is a rule in the auspicious and inauspicious list: "Do not hold important events on Yang Gong's death day." This means that this day is an unlucky day (that is, Qu Yuan's death day), and it is not suitable for important events. Therefore, according to tradition, ancestor worship cannot be held. What are the things to pay attention to when offering sacrifices to ancestors?Choice of flowers <br /> Usually chrysanthemums, because in ancient China, chrysanthemums were regarded as flowers of sustenance, with the meaning of longing and remembrance. White chrysanthemums are the most suitable, and they can also be matched with some green grass, such as lilies, green leaves, carnations, etc., which will be more beautiful. Yellow chrysanthemum is known as longevity chrysanthemum and is more suitable for visiting patients.Pregnant women are not suitable to participate <br /> It is often said that pregnant women should avoid the activities of paying respects to the mountain, but that is not all. Strictly speaking, women who are menstruating should not participate in such activities, especially not after 3 pm. A reminder to friends: Our country is vast, and the customs of tomb sweeping in the north and south are slightly different. For example, in the south, both sons and daughters usually go to sweep the tombs, while in some places in the north, daughters usually do not go to sweep the tombs. If the daughter is married, she will go to sweep the tombs with her husband. Do not laugh, yell, or swear .<br /> Because the cemetery is the home of the Yin spirits, you should not step over the graves and offerings, make loud noises, laugh, yell, use foul language, run around, or urinate anywhere. Doing so is not only disrespectful to your ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby spirits. You are not allowed to trample on other people's graves or comment on the design of the tomb. This will be regarded as blasphemy. If you encounter bad aura, you will be in trouble when you return home. Not suitable for photography <br /> In China, ancestor worship is not just about commemorating ancestors, but also means worshiping and praying to the dead. A special reminder to friends: be cautious when taking photos at your ancestors’ graves, whether it is a photo of the tomb-sweepers themselves or a photo of the tomb-sweepers and the graveyard. It is even more taboo to take photos of other graves. Otherwise, your fortune is likely to decline and all aspects will be unbalanced. |
