What should Tomb-Sweeping Day pay attention to?

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called outing festival, March festival and ancestor worship festival. The festival is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancestral belief and the custom of worshipping spring in ancient times, which has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Grave-sweeping and outing are the two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day etiquette and customs, and these two traditional themes have been passed down from ancient times to the present in China.

And children just don't know what Tomb-Sweeping Day is and what sweeping graves is. They just think that Tomb-Sweeping Day can have a holiday and go out to play. Moreover, breast-feeding children have weak resistance and are not suitable to be taken to grave-sweeping. Children cry easily and are not suitable to be taken to places with heavy yin, such as cemeteries.

Children aged three to six are naughty and very lively. It will be naughty to take them to the grave, which will easily have a bad influence on the atmosphere at that time. Therefore, it is best not to be naughty and be sensible when taking children to the grave. After you really understand the significance of Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping, you can naturally take the children with you.

Some points for attention in Tomb-Sweeping Day:

1. Don't cover your forehead: Tomb-Sweeping Day is full of yin, and you must show your forehead before and after the festival. Your forehead is a "sky lamp" and you can't cover it.

2. Sweeping graves is to worship ancestors, not to have fun. It's best to keep a respectful heart and never take photos or group photos with the cemetery at will. If you take care of children, you must warn them not to criticize their ancestors, which is disrespectful.

3. Try to avoid buying shoes on the day of grave sweeping. The sound of shoes is the same as "evil" in case of bad luck.

4. Use words carefully when sweeping graves: it is not appropriate to say many words, let alone swear words, angry words, frivolous and unlucky words, and the words must be respectful and solemn.
