The rural elderly said that four types of people in Tomb-Sweeping Day could not go to the grave, which four types did they mean? Folk custom or bad habit?

Qingming Festival is not only a solar term, but also a traditional festival in China. It is a fine tradition from ancient times to the present to pay homage to the graves and remember the ancestors.

However, there are some differences between urban and rural areas, or between different regions.

Cities are generally called grave sweeping, and rural areas are called grave sweeping.

In the former society, regardless of urban and rural areas, Tomb-Sweeping Day's act of remembering his ancestors was called going to the grave.

Among the people, there are certain rules for Tomb-Sweeping Day to go to the grave. According to legend, there are four types of people who cannot go to the grave. If they violate the taboo, there may be a bad omen.

Some people say that these regulations are superstitious and bad habits, and they are not credible. There is no taboo to go to the grave for your loved ones.

It is also said that it has been circulating for so many years since ancient times and is a folk custom. Since it can exist all the time, it means that it has the meaning of existence, so it is better to observe it. Each has his own opinion.

So, according to popular parlance, which four kinds of people Tomb-Sweeping Day can't go to the grave? Let's talk to you in detail about whether it is superstition or not. After reading it, we will have the answer.

The first group: pregnant women can't go to the grave.

The saying that pregnant women can't go to the grave has two meanings.

First, according to the old saying, the grave is cloudy, and if pregnant women go to the grave, it may lead to fetal dysplasia. Therefore, even the closest people can't go to the grave once they are pregnant.

Secondly, according to modern theory, the main reason why pregnant women can't go to the grave is that they are afraid that the road is not good or long, and pregnant women will fall, which is not good for the fetus. So there is a saying that pregnant women can't go to the grave.

The second kind of people: children can't go to the grave.

According to the old people, children can't go to the grave for two reasons.

First, going to the grave is a very serious matter. Children are prone to make a hullabaloo about and will be considered disrespectful after going. Secondly, we used to walk to the grave. The road is too far for the children to go.

However, there is a different story now. Since Tomb-Sweeping Day went to offer sacrifices to his ancestors and his relatives, it would be better for the children to go. Shouting is not disrespectful, but to let the ancestors know that later generations are very happy.

So, now go to the grave, and many children follow.

The third kind of people: people of the same age can't go to the grave.

Tomb-Sweeping Day's sacrifice to his ancestors was given to his elders by the younger generation, not to his peers.

For example, you can go to the grave for your parents, grandparents and even the ancestors of the older generation, but brothers, younger brothers, cousins and other peers can't go to the grave.

Of course, people younger than themselves can't go to the grave.

This still exists in rural areas in many places. However, with the continuous development of society, some changes have gradually taken place. For example, his very close friend died unfortunately, and Tomb-Sweeping Day would also visit the grave to tell his friends' feelings.

Some brothers will go to the grave if one of them dies in an accident.

The fourth group: outsiders can't go to the grave.

Needless to say, Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping is for his relatives, not for outsiders. If he goes to the grave of an outsider, the villagers will laugh at him.

Usually this will not happen. However, with many people going to other places now, they didn't come back until Tomb-Sweeping Day, or some young people didn't take part in grave-sweeping. In recent years, their parents are in poor health, or they can't go to the grave. Only young people can go.

However, young people don't know where to go to the grave. They only know that there may be a phenomenon of going to the wrong grave. In addition to being ridiculed, according to the old people, the deceased relatives can't receive paper money.

These four categories are people who can't go to the grave in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Some people say that superstition or bad habits should be abandoned.

Especially in cities, Tomb-Sweeping Day can give it to revolutionary martyrs who are not related by blood, his comrades-in-arms, or great men in ancient times.

Not only pregnant women can go, but also children can go. The school organizes children to go together.

Therefore, what used to be bad should be abandoned.

Of course, some people say that these customs should continue. Since they have been passed down to this day, there is a reason for their existence. In order to avoid bad things, it is better to abide by them.
