Can the time of Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice be advanced or postponed?
If you go to the grave on the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is best to go on the same day, and it is not advisable to advance or postpone it. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a day to worship ancestors and remember their ancestors. On this day, all ghosts will be released from the underworld and let them return to the dead to meet their loved ones. Therefore, people generally carry out activities to worship ghosts on this day, such as going to the grave, burning incense and burning paper. If you burn paper, burn incense and go to the grave in advance, then the ghost soul of your loved ones will not receive your heart before returning to the dead. Therefore, as a general folk rule, you can't go to the grave, burn incense and burn paper in advance on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Legend has it that all ghosts are released in the Heaven and Earth Mansion on the Yuan Festival, and people generally carry out activities of offering sacrifices to ghosts' souls. Every family who has a new funeral will go to a new grave, but generally it will sacrifice ghosts and ghosts in the local area. Therefore, it is a festival centered on ghost worship as a whole, and it is the biggest folk ghost festival in China.
