There are different sayings about the so-called four-character-eight-sentence jingle in repairing the grave, but it is usually said that the grave is on the other side of the mountain, and the filth is incurable. Today, we will repair it to make it brilliant again. The sky is round, there are nine green spirits, the dutiful son is sad, and the monument is made as a chapter.
Grave repair refers to the day when the old tomb is repaired and buried. Graveyard mainly refers to the unified concentration of remains or ashes-like relics in a unified place after death, such as Taiyuan Xianju Garden, which is a civilization and progress in the history of human development. Nowadays, with the development of urbanization and the increase of urban population, cemetery construction has become the necessity of urban development. Attention should be paid to the excavation of graves:
(1) Generally speaking, the excavation of graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day is required to be 1 steps away, so be careful not to dig too deep, which will damage the earth vein. If subsidence and cracks are found around the graves, they must be repaired to avoid disasters.
(2) Some people will move their graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day. It must be remembered that any new grave that has been buried for less than one year cannot be moved. If you move and bury within one year, it will cause a home.
(3) It is very important to establish a monument and stand upright. Every grave has an orientation, so if a monument is erected in front of the grave, it will be easy for future generations not to know the mountain and orientation of the grave, resulting in inconsistency. The inconsistency between the new tomb and the ancestral tomb is called back-ancestral pulse-breaking, and the descendants are unfilial, full of difficulties, leaving their hometown, or the population is gradually decreasing. (Of course, this is what the ancient books say, so don't be too persistent.)
Because Qingming is a time when the yang rises and the yin declines, the ground pulse is in a flowing state at this time. If the ground is broken to repair the grave during this time, the wound caused by the ground pulse will heal quickly. At the same time, because the ground pulse is in an active state, it is the fastest time to heal and knot the pulse, and the bones will join with the ground pulse quickly, and the geomantic omen will also play a role soon.
Therefore, our ancestors designated this festival as the time to break ground and repair graves. Over time, a specific mass festival was formed, that is, during this time period, you can repair graves at any time without choosing a date. Therefore, a traditional custom has been formed throughout the ages, and Qingming has become the best time to repair graves and move bones for burial in most parts of China.
