The three-day round tomb, also known as the "upper beam", requires adding soil for the new tomb.

Use three straws, bend each straw at about three equal distances, and insert it into the soil. The distance between the three straws is equal. In the middle of the straw, tie a "kouqian" with a red cloth strip.

The round grave is a form of memorial service. It is held on the third day of the burial (that is, the next day). Family members must go to the grave to perform a rounding ceremony and build soil for the grave. They also burn paper money, offer offerings, and have the deceased's grandson and granddaughter (boys and girls) circle the grave three times forward and three times backward, which is called "opening the door."

People believe that after opening the door, they can communicate with the deceased and express their feelings. The deceased can also receive memorials and money, food, etc. from their younger generations, so that they can live a prosperous life in the underworld and have no worries about money. After the grave is rounded, the funeral is basically over.

The round grave is a form of memorial service. It is held three days after the burial. Family members must go to the grave to perform a rounding ceremony and build soil for the grave. They also burn paper money, offer offerings, and have the deceased's grandson and granddaughter (boys and girls) circle the grave three times forward and three times backward, which is called "opening the door."

People believe that after opening the door, they can communicate with the deceased and express their feelings. The deceased can also receive memorials and money, food, etc. from their younger generations, so that they can live a prosperous life in the underworld and have no worries about money.

Among the worshipers on the Tomb Sweeping Ghost Festival, there are also some intellectuals, most of whom are old (young intellectuals are so busy with their lives that they even forget the process of death). They generally do not cry loudly. After walking around the grave and making offerings, they sat cross-legged in front of the grave, looked at the tombstone, smoked, recalled some past events with the deceased, and lamented the harshness of the human world. The cool ones even brought their own wine and food, had a drink with the invisible dead, and said some inspiring words of scholars.

Basic etiquette

After rounding the grave, the funeral is basically over. However, sacrifices are held on the 37th, 57th, 77th and 60th days after the burial. At May 7th, the filial son must burn the paper colorful people with his own hands. It is said that this can alleviate the sins of the deceased during his lifetime. Burning paper boats and sedans on the 60th day is said to enable the souls of the deceased to cross the chaotic river. In addition, on the deceased's birthday, memorial day (one is not allowed to visit the grave on the first anniversary), Qingming Festival, etc., the younger generation will go to the grave to pay homage. Almost all other ancestor worship activities are carried out in front of the spirit tablet at home.

A filial son must abide by the filial piety system and observe filial piety for three periods, each period is 9 months, and the maximum is 27 months. Later it will be changed to 1 year or 100 days. During the period of mourning (usually within 100 days), you will not shave your head, shave your face, cut your nails, drink alcohol, have sex as a couple, go out, etc. During the Spring Festival or celebrations held by relatives and friends, you will not worship or celebrate (so far, if there is a funeral in the family, the first Spring Festival will be held) You are not allowed to go to each house to pay New Year greetings).

Female family members also don’t wear makeup. Especially before the funeral, there must be no pregnant women giving birth at home.
