Do you know that there are 5 types of people who can not go to the grave on Qingming Day?
Each place may have its own customs, but these 5 types of people really recommend that you refrain from going.
It's not superstition, it's about your body and that occasion, it's not for good
Type 1: Pregnant women or those who have just recovered from a serious illness
There is no metaphysics or aura here, mainly to go to the grave on the Qingming Festival, to remember relatives, it is inevitable that there will be some sad times.
Pregnant women, people who have just recovered from a serious illness are relatively weak, and a sad heart may not be good for their health.
Type 2: Younger children
Especially under the age of 7, don't go if you have a more lively personality.
It's not that children are small and prone to superstitious thoughts.
Mainly because the child's self-control ability is relatively poor, coupled with the lively and active, in this kind of occasion, everyone will choose to be solemn, if he is there to laugh and play, run around, or even inadvertently disrespect the ancestors, this is not good.
Type 3: The elderly
Especially for those over seventy or eighty years old, this is similar to the first type.
The elderly who are too old are already in poor health, and when they see their deceased relatives, if there are their younger generations among them, their mood will be even worse.
If you are in a bad mood, if you have an underlying disease, it will be more than worth the loss.
Type 4: Unrelated people
The unrelated here, mainly because of the unrelated to the deceased, especially the kind of hateful, just like Xiao San, please don't bring it to that kind of place.
Looking at it, it makes people feel embarrassed, and it also makes the ancestors feel ashamed.
Fifth, don't force yourself to go if you're not feeling well
This is not a matter of filial piety, but for the ancestors, your physical condition is often more important than worship.
Of course, there is also a folk saying that if the old man has just left, he has not been around for a year, but he can go or not.
Newly deceased, no one will find fault with you.
Speaking of which, there seems to be a common situation: can a married daughter go to the grave on Qingming Festival?
In my mother's family, all the daughters who marry go to the grave, and the sons do not go to the grave.
But in her mother-in-law's house, there is a saying that a daughter who marries out can't go back to her parents' house to go to the grave.
I don't know how it works, but maybe the customs are different from place to place.
Write at the end
In fact, no matter what the customs are, as a descendant, it is normal for people to worship their relatives and ancestors.
As long as the family allows, you are happy, and if you have time, you can go back to see and talk to your relatives on the Qingming Festival.
China's 5,000-year-old tradition must have its truth!
