The Qingming Festival is a very important festival in China. Such a festival is arranged in such a season to express the sorrow of our ancestors. Tomb Sweeping Day for many people, will go back to their hometown to visit their ancestors, so what are the taboos of Tomb Sweeping Day?
Qingming Festival, as one of the three Ghost Festivals in China, has always been valued, but it is rarely called ghost festival. This is mainly because qingming festival sacrifices some good ghosts and family ghosts who have made great contributions to their lives, while the other two Ghost Festivals offer sacrifices to appease all ghosts, including wild ghosts and evil spirits. So we must know these taboos on Tomb Sweeping Day, otherwise & hellip; & hellip;
1. People with low Yin Qi should not sweep tombs
Tomb Sweeping during the Qingming Festival is to mourn the ancestors, which is a kind of filial piety in ancient times, so most of the whole family went out to sweep the tombs. But in fact, because there are dead people lying in the graveyard, the Yin Qi is heavy. If the Yin Qi of some living people is low, it is easy to mix with the Yin Qi of these dead people, which may cause headache and fever, or bad luck. People with heavy Yin Qi include pregnant women, young children, women in menstruation and people with poor health. Most of the people who come back from tomb sweeping are women and children, as well as people who are not very comfortable. The scientific explanation is that this kind of people are weak and vulnerable to cold, but most of them have fever, headache and no obvious cold characteristics.
2. Tomb sweeping time
Generally, the best time to sweep tombs is when Yang Qi is strong. It's best to sweep tombs between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and no later than 4 p.m., because Yang Qi is strong during this period. After that, the Yang Qi weakens and the Yin Qi grows. For some people with low fortune or poor health, sacrificing in the Yin Qi will affect their fortune.
3. Clean the plants on the graveyard
The so-called tomb sweeping means to clean the cemetery. If there are grass or other plants on the head of the cemetery, you must clean it up. Don't wait for it to grow into a climate. Otherwise, it will absorb the aura of the cemetery and cause damage to the family members of the owner of the cemetery, including luck and health.
At the same time, for grave sweepers, it is also a way of reposing grief. The cleaned graveyard and burned paper money are also telling other ghosts that there are still sacrifices for future generations in this tomb, so don't occupy it.
4. Do not take photos and play in the cemetery
Modern people are all mobile phones. Everywhere they go, they take photos to share. But it's absolutely forbidden to take pictures in cemeteries. In such a place where our ancestors sleep for a long time, the worshippers should come with a solemn and respectful attitude. They should not be amused because of the Spring Festival. Your joking behavior will irritate the deceased and disturb the nearby spirits.
When the sun is not good and the sun is cloudy, if you take a picture and ask for something, something unclean will enter your lens. Once you take it home, it will bring bad luck to the family. This view has been accepted by many people, especially when people go to the Forbidden City in Beijing, where there is a lot of gloom, they usually don't take pictures in it. They are afraid of getting into trouble.
5. Don't discuss the length of the dead
In some cases, several families go together to visit the tombs, and there will be more people to talk about, but no matter what you say, you can't discuss the rights and wrongs of the dead, including the ancestors worshipped by your own family and the deceased in the neighboring cemeteries. When a person dies, his aura still exists. He still has a sense of what you say. If he talks about the right and wrong of the soul, the consequences will not be good.
6. Do not wear colorful clothes
The purpose of tomb sweeping is to worship the dead and express respect. At the same time, it is also a kind of mourning for life and death. The atmosphere is dignified. If you dress gorgeous, there is a sense of disrespect for the dead. So, including the accessories you wear and underwear you wear inside, you can't be too gorgeous, mainly dark and simple.
7. Pay attention when you come back from tomb sweeping
When you come back from the cemetery, you must clean up the mud on your shoes, and the tip of the shoes must face the door, so that the soul who comes back with you can't enter the door. You'd better take a bath and change your clothes. At the same time, you have to wash your clothes. Don't let the evil spirit in the cemetery stay at home. After a bath and changing clothes, you will feel refreshed and much better.
8. Avoid accompanying others to sweep tombs, because Qingming Festival is the right time of spring. Sometimes it's hard to avoid the invitation of a boyfriend or girlfriend to sweep tombs together. Generally, it's better not to participate in the activities of outsiders. If you don't want to wear some talismans or talismans to ward off evil spirits, you should try your best to wear them. Because everyone's fortune and aura are different. If you don't go to such a place, try not to.
