Yes, that’s because autumn has just arrived, the weather has turned cooler, and the gloom around the cemetery seems to be heavier.
The first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is also called the "October Dynasty", and it is also called the Cold Clothes Festival among the people. On this day, people go to visit the graves and send cold clothes to the deceased. Even if it is inconvenient to go to the cemetery, paper money and clothing should be burned for the deceased at the crossroads. "The paper money and clothes are cut, and burned in the early morning to turn them into ashes. Is the fruit on the spring platform used to keep out the cold? But the sound of sorrow is pleasant to the ear!" This is a pair of ten words. A true portrayal of the gift of cold clothes on the first day of the month.
The first day of October is one of the only two days in the year suitable for moving graves, burying people together, repairing graveyards, etc. Therefore, those who plan to break ground in the Yin House can only do so on October 1 in the second half of the year, except during the Qingming Festival in the first half of the year.
Don’t go to the cemetery too early or too late. On the first day of October, the sun rises relatively late but sets relatively early. The period from 9 am to 15 pm is the period of the day when Yang Qi is relatively strong, which will strengthen your own Yang Qi.
Before going to the cemetery, it is best to be prepared in terms of clothing. Wear a red underwear, red socks, or a red hat.
The yin energy in the cemetery is heavy, especially on days like October 1st. According to the emphasis on red to ward off evil spirits, wearing red on your body will help your own safety. People with weak numerology are better not to go to the cemetery alone. It is best to ask someone with strong health to accompany them. Especially if there is a need for joint burial or relocation of graves, it is best to take some protective measures in advance.
If conditions permit, you can ask others to pick up the bones of ancestors in the tomb to reduce your time in the tomb. Wearing amulets drawn by professionals can enhance your own yang energy and protect yourself from the yin energy of the cemetery.
Kneel down, burn incense, burn paper money, perform a big ceremony and worship, tell the ancestors that it is not that the descendants are unfilial and turn over the corpse, but that for some reason, the ancestors have to be alarmed and beg the ancestors to Forgive me and bless future generations. In other words, tell the ancestors what they are going to do at the cemetery and why they are doing it. I hope that the ancestors will bless them smoothly and safely.
