What's the point of adding earth to graves on Tomb Sweeping Day
In rural areas, people go to graves on Tomb Sweeping Day. If they see that the soil at the head of the grave is lost and dilapidated, the filial generation wants to add some new soil to the grave. However, we should pay attention to the following points to avoid making taboos.
1： Soil adding position
Adding soil to the tomb on the Tomb Sweeping Day is usually on the left or right of the tomb head. Generally, the coffin is placed on the left and right. The coffin head is behind the grave, and the direction of the dead's feet is the front, that is, the monument. No earth shall be taken from the front and back to add graves, and no earth shall be moved from the head and front. Moving is disrespect to the dead. It is not suitable to take earth from the northwest of the tomb. The northwest symbolizes heaven and the ancestors of the tomb owner. Earth cannot be moved here.
When adding new soil, you must pay attention to: it is absolutely not allowed to take soil on the front or back of the tombstone to add the grave. If you do this carelessly, it will be disrespectful to the deceased. In addition, it is not suitable to take earth from the northwest of the tomb. The reason why it is not allowed is that the northwest symbolizes heaven and, on the other hand, the ancestors of the owner of the tomb. Therefore, we must not take earth from these places to add graves. Remember these also avoid respect for the dead and ancestors.
2： How much soil
In our rural areas, people in rural areas should bring iron lift when they go to the grave to add soil. There is also some stress in adding new soil. Generally, they can add three shovels. Moreover, it must be sprinkled on the grave. It must not be photographed or buckled on the grave. Shooting or buckling is not only a great disrespect to the deceased of our ancestors, but also a manifestation of filial piety to our ancestors.
3： The elderly, children, patients, pregnant women and other physically weak should not participate in soil addition

Xike, who is strong and prosperous, has the master for prosperity, fame and wealth; Those who are weak avoid grams.

Thus, the elderly, children, patients, pregnant women and other physically weak should not participate in soil addition.
