What are the customs of tomb sweeping on Laba Festival?

1. Ancestor worship and tomb sweeping are special ways to express remembrance of clan members. According to traditional Chinese customs, women generally avoid ancestor worship ceremonies, but there is an exception during the Qingming Festival. A new daughter-in-law or new child in the family can visit the cemetery (sweep the tomb) on the Qingming Festival accompanied by their family members to recognize their ancestors.
2. Ancestor worship and tomb sweeping are solemn matters. Generally speaking, one should dress solemnly and avoid bright colors. But a newly married daughter-in-law and a newborn baby can wear bright red clothes to express the good news to the ancestors.
3. Other people should still dress simply and elegantly. For those who are in their zodiac year, they can wear red clothes inside to resist the effect of negative energy.
4. When offering sacrifices to ancestors or visiting their graves, you must not make loud noises, play around, or do anything disrespectful to your ancestors.
