As a country with thousands of years of culture, China pays attention to grave sweeping and ancestor worship. As the saying goes, "sacrifice three sacrifices four", that is, the sacrifices are odd, three, five, seven, nine, and even are forbidden. This is the most basic ritual rule. In addition, in the choice of sacrifices, fruits, snacks and drinks are usually the mainstay, and there is also a bias towards "three meats".
These three things should be taboo.
1, taboo frolicking, criticizing ancestors
Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping is a solemn matter. You should be careful what you do in front of your ancestors' tombstones, and don't make a scene. Many friends were solemn at first, but they began to fight after the sacrifice. You know, the cemetery is where ghosts sleep. Even fighting after worship will disturb ghosts, which is even more disrespectful to ancestors.
2, taboo to go to the grave to worship regardless of generation.
Worship at the grave should be carried out in turn according to the generations of the deceased, starting with the deceased with the highest generation, so as to reflect the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young in China. After the worship, everyone can eat the sacrifices enjoyed by their ancestors.
3, taboo avoid stepping on other graves
Friends who go to graves know that some graves are very close, especially in rural areas. The order of graves is usually arranged according to the generation of the family. The boundaries of each tomb are not very clear. There will be a problem when going to the grave. Many people who go to worship may accidentally step on other graves, especially those who take their children to visit them. Keep it properly to avoid "Xiong Haizi" trampling on other graves casually, desecrating the deceased and causing inconvenience.
