Who is bad for her daughter to go to the grave?
What are the taboos for a daughter to go to the grave?
In rural areas, people attach great importance to Tomb-Sweeping Day. Every family should worship their ancestors, and some ancestral graves should be renovated at a high price, but married girls do not return to their parents' graves. It was many years before I realized why. Actually, it depends on local customs. Some places think that daughters can also go to the grave. After all, the daughter is also one of the descendants. In some places, it is considered inappropriate for a daughter to go to the grave. Women were not "family" in the eyes of feudal people, so daughters could not go to the grave. There are several opinions about whether a daughter can go to the grave:
1, the daughter is too young to go to the grave.
No matter where the custom is, it is not appropriate for a daughter to go to the grave because she is too young. Generally speaking, if a child is under six years old, it is not suitable for both men and women to let him participate in ancestor worship activities. Because the child is too young, the yang is low, and the cemetery is a place with a heavy yin, it is easy for the child to see some unclean things, and it is easy to cause some negative substances to entangle with the child (the child has a low yang and is easy to provoke evil things), which leads to the child's frequent illness. Therefore, my daughter is too young to go to the grave and needs attention. In addition, the elderly love their children very much, and when they take their children to worship their ancestors, their ancestors especially "love" their children, which easily leads to their reluctance to part with their children and their love for "freedom", which is not conducive to their children.

2. Can unmarried daughters go to the grave?
In some local customs, unmarried daughters can go to the grave. For example, in many parts of Guangdong, unmarried daughters can visit graves to worship their ancestors. However, in some areas, feudal ideology is more serious. They think that whether a daughter is married or not will not affect her nature as a "married woman", so even if her daughter is unmarried, she can't go to the ancestral grave to worship.
Married daughters are not allowed to enter the grave.
Married daughters should not go back to their parents' graves. They can only worship their ancestors in their in-laws' homes, but not in their parents' homes, because in people's traditional concept, daughters marry into their in-laws' homes, and then only to their parents' homes, and their names and household registration have been adopted to their in-laws' homes, so the married daughters belong to their in-laws' homes and cannot go back to their parents' homes to worship their ancestors.
