In Tomb-Sweeping Day, sweeping graves to worship ancestors is the most important activity. While going out to worship, there are many places to pay attention to. Only by making all preparations can we live a safe Tomb-Sweeping Day.
First, feng shui precautions when sweeping graves
1. When sweeping a grave in Tomb-Sweeping Day, all weeds on the grave should be cut off first, and the periphery of the grave should be repaired. Then we can add some new soil to the grave and burn some paper or fragrant wine to worship.
2. Sweeping graves is also a good time to observe whether the feng shui of ancestral graves is suppressed. A basically qualified geomantic omen can be avoided if the grave is wide, supported at the back, low at the front and high at the back, and there is nothing to shoot at the grave. If the back hill is cut down, there will be disaster for future generations. You can move as soon as possible or try to make up for the deadline.
3. When Tomb-Sweeping Day visits the grave, he'd better remember to go in sunny days, never in the evening. The best time is between 9 am and 3 pm. If people with weak congenital constitution are best to walk together, pay more attention to your feet when sweeping graves so as not to step on other people's graves. Don't touch other people's tombstones with your feet, it's not good for you. At the same time, when sweeping the grave, be respectful and don't laugh. I suggest you choose more familiar roads on the pedestrian line and don't try to take remote roads. On the one hand, it is unsafe, on the other hand, it is easy to have an unfavorable gas field.
4. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also the time to dig or move graves. Under normal circumstances, you can't dig a hole in the grave, otherwise it will cause unfavorable geomantic omen. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, when the sun rises and the yin falls, if you dig a hole in the grave at this time, the harm can be minimized.
Second, other matters needing attention in Tomb-Sweeping Day
1, travel in Tomb-Sweeping Day
Some people will travel and go hiking in Tomb-Sweeping Day. What needs to be noted here is to choose more places to visit, and less to go to mountains and places with heavy yin, especially during the day and staying at home or hotels at night, because the most important thing in Tomb-Sweeping Day is to worship ancestors to show filial piety.
2. People are in different places
The holidays in Tomb-Sweeping Day are very short. If people are out of town and can't go home to visit the grave, they can also worship at home. Di Tianju suggested that everyone light three sticks of incense at home and offer fruits and other sacrifices. If conditions permit, they should burn some paper money. If conditions do not allow, meditate more to show sincerity.
3. Dreaming of ancestors or old friends
It is common in life that people will meet their deceased ancestors or friends before Tomb-Sweeping Day, which means that you should visit each other's graves. Therefore, if the above situation occurs, no matter how busy you are, you should take time to pay homage. If you really can't go, you should also entrust someone to pay homage.
4. Entertainment in Tomb-Sweeping Day
Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the Cold Food Festival, is not suitable for entertainment. Generally speaking, it is best to wear elegant clothes on this day and stay at home at night. If you go to a nightclub, you'd better avoid this day. If you go out at night, it is recommended to wear an amulet or a mascot such as jade. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is generally not conducive to moving or getting married.
5. People with weak constitution
Some people are weak, and the aura around Tomb-Sweeping Day is low, so they are prone to get sick or other situations. Friends like this should wear something auspicious when visiting Tomb-Sweeping Day, such as wearing an obsidian bracelet on their right hand, or wearing Guanyin or Buddha statues, so as to avoid the interference of unfavorable magnetic fields.
