Can I go to the grave on cloudy days in Tomb-Sweeping Day?

You can also go to the grave on cloudy days. Generally speaking, as long as it doesn't rain, you can go to the grave. Although it may rain on cloudy days, it hasn't rained yet, so you can go to the grave. In addition, pay attention to fire prevention when going to the grave on cloudy days.

In terms of time, it is better to get up early. In the north, there is a saying that it is not noon. In the morning, you will get everything you need to go to the grave the next day, clean the grave before the sun comes out, put some flowers, talk to the dead, and complete the sacrificial activities with a ceremony.

A ceremony to go to the grave

It is very important to visit the grave during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Because ancestor worship and filial piety are tied together. If you don't participate in ancestor worship, you are unfilial and forget your ancestors.

When going to the grave, people bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the grave, repair the grave, fold some fresh green branches and insert them in the grave, put some paper money on it, put bricks on it, let others know that there are descendants in the grave, and then kowtow to worship.

Women and children will also fold some Yang Liuzhi nearby and put on steamed food with wicker. Others put wicker into reeds and put them on their heads, saying, "If you don't wear willow in Qingming Festival, you will become a yellow dog in the afterlife."
