10 1 month 1 day What's the point of going to the grave?

The Mid-Autumn Festival on the first day of the tenth lunar month is a festival.

The activities and ceremonies of the Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival are basically the same: after going to the grave, a sacrificial opening is placed and three incense burners are inserted in front of the grave. It is necessary to fill the ancestral graves with paper money, remove weeds and dead trees from the graves, then burn paper money, set off firecrackers and kowtow. It should be noted that paper money in Tomb-Sweeping Day is burned in sheets, because warmer weather means changing summer clothes for ancestors.

On the first day of October, the paper was laminated. As the saying goes, after the winter festival, the wind is snow. Because the weather turns cold, it is called changing the cotton-padded clothes for ancestors, so this day is also called Cold Clothes Festival. Another rule is that if only one parent dies, you can't fill the grave, you can only press paper. Because filling the grave will make it higher, it is said that the ancestors in the grave will step on the grave and look at their companions. This must be remembered.

Some customs

There are two situations in which people go to the grave in advance in autumn festival. One is to go to a new grave, that is, a grave that has not been burned for three years will go to a new grave. Generally, the new grave goes a few days in advance, and the rules for going to the grave are the same. There is also a rule to go to the new grave, that is, if only one old man dies, he must choose the odd days of the lunar calendar to go to the grave. If both old people died, choose to go to the grave on weekends. Second, women used to go to the grave in advance. Now this is not particular. Women usually go to the grave with men on the first day of October.

Another rule is that all clothes and money given to the dead must be burned. Only when it is burned cleanly can these papers become silks and satins, clothes, gold, silver and copper coins in the underworld. As long as a thing is not burned, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the dead will not use it. So 1 October1day, be sure to burn cold clothes, and be especially careful. Although this kind of action seems funny, it also reflects the grief and reverence of the living for the dead, which belongs to a kind of spiritual sustenance (the above content is for reference only).
