1. clothes-grave-sweepers are not allowed to wear brightly colored and excessively exposed clothes.

Grave-sweeping itself is a serious matter, and the clothes you wear should conform to the environment. It is generally recommended to wear black or plain and dark clothes to express respect and condolences to the deceased. If you wear clothes with too conspicuous colors, such as big red, it is difficult to ensure that you will not provoke filthy gas to affect your health in a cemetery with extremely heavy yin. Of course, it is unacceptable to expose clothes too much, which is immoral in the eyes of ancestors and the world.

2. Eat-it should not be too full before sweeping the grave, and the diet should be light; Don't eat or worship when sweeping the grave.

In the grave-sweeping etiquette handed down from ancient times, people had to fast before sweeping the grave, but for people with an accelerated pace of modern life, it is unrealistic to worship on an empty stomach and they really need to eat. Diet should be light, avoid big fish and big meat, and not overeating. If the dirty gas in the body is discharged when sweeping the grave, it is also a sign of disrespect for the deceased; In addition, no matter how hungry you are, don't chew food in your mouth when sweeping the grave, which will only highlight your ignorance of fooling around.

3. Alive-it is forbidden to talk about family disputes when sweeping graves, such as real estate and property inheritance.

The "living" here refers to some trivial disputes in the grave sweeper's home, which can be put in private chat, but it is not good to argue with relatives and friends who are sweeping the grave in front of the tombstone. Isn't it disrespectful to have to make others laugh and make ancestors worry when they worship?

4. good-pay attention to the time of going to the grave and choose yang to avoid yin.

The time for sweeping graves handed down from the old days was from 5 am to 7 am, and the morning sun was gradually exposed and the yang was gradually strengthened. However, this time is too early for urbanites. Generally, cities are not too close to suburban cemeteries. Therefore, the time of worship can also be arranged in the morning. It is best to arrange it before three o'clock in the afternoon, and the yin will get longer after three o'clock.

5. Dharma-It will bring bad luck when you come back from the grave.

As one of the three ghost festivals in China, it is inevitable for Tomb-Sweeping Day to visit the grave. At this time, when the cemetery in the suburbs is also in a heavy shade, people will inevitably have bad luck after sweeping graves. Therefore, it is extremely important to go to the grave in time after sweeping the grave. In many areas, when you come back from worship, it is very popular to put a brazier in front of your house and then cross home. Others take a bath with grapefruit leaves and wash their hands afterwards to avoid bad luck. In short, the method you choose must be effective, otherwise it will inevitably cast a shadow over your fortune.

6. People who worship can choose. The following people had better stay away from cemeteries and cemeteries.

Considering the actual physiological factors of pregnant women, the number of grave-sweepers is vast every year, not to mention the congestion problem, just going back and forth is enough to toss pregnant women and unborn babies; Judging from the customs left over, the fetus is still in the womb, so it is not appropriate to see the deceased relatives, which may easily lead to the premature death of the child.

People who are physically weak are seriously ill, and people who are physically weak are not suitable for sweeping graves. The fatigue of traveling by boat is enough to consume their energy, resulting in a lack of yang, and sweeping graves is also a tiring job. Sick people need to rest and persist in going, which is not only not conducive to restoring their vitality, but also easy to lead to the invasion of evil spirits.

Babies under the age of three should not be taken to the grave. On the one hand, although the grave-sweeping site is not as polluted as before, it does not rule out that there are still some incense shots. These smells and sounds are easy to make children twitch, which is not conducive to physical and mental health; It is also said that at this stage, children can easily see the underworld that adults can't see. Of course, whether it is true or not, the environment and facilities around the cemetery are not convenient for adults to take care of their children.
