1. Pay attention to the location of adding soil, generally on the left or right side of the tomb, and you can't take soil from the front, back, head and northwest.
2. The amount of soil added is also very particular. Generally, you can add three shovels, and you must sprinkle them on the grave. You can't pat them on or buckle them on the grave.
3. People who are weak should not take part in adding soil, because Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the three "ghost" festivals in China, which will produce negative energy.
4. It is not advisable to break ground to build new graves within three years, including moving graves and adding graves.
5. When adding soil, you can't throw it. Spread it evenly on the grave and pat it gently with the back of the shovel.
6. Don't dig or have a deep pit within ten meters around the grave. The spring rain woke up the clear valley days in spring. According to the 24 solar terms, after the vernal equinox, "Tomb-Sweeping Day" came. We in China attach great importance to the arrival of Tomb-Sweeping Day. When Tomb-Sweeping Day arrived, we specially took a day off for people to worship their ancestors and sweep graves.
However, ancestor worship in Tomb-Sweeping Day is not a traditional superstitious activity, but a solemn commemoration of "ancestors", and this custom will be handed down. After all, without our ancestors, we would not be today, so it is also very important.
Regarding ancestor worship, it is natural to add soil and wipe dusty tombstones to show respect.
