However, Bao Jie wants to remind you that Tomb-Sweeping Day is no joke. It is not only a solar term, but also a festival, and it is also the day with the most customs and attention among all traditional festivals in China!
So there are some taboos that you must know, especially for women. If you don't pay attention, you may get yourself into unnecessary trouble.
Eight taboos for sweeping graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day
First of all, Jie Bao wants to declare that these "taboos" are not the inheritance and protection of traditional customs, but the memory and awe of them.
1 Pregnant women are forbidden to sweep graves.
There are about three reasons for this. First, it is heavy, which is not good for the fetus in the abdomen; Second, the flow of people in Tomb-Sweeping Day is relatively large, which is prone to crowded collisions and is not good for pregnant women; Third, when sweeping graves, people burn incense and paper money. Ordinary people frown and cover their noses when they smell these turbid smells, let alone pregnant women.
So stay at home with your precious fans.
There are no photos.
As the saying goes, "look up three feet", the kindest thing for everyone when sweeping the grave is to pay a New Year call. Take photos, record and play games at will, only for children who are not sensible? These behaviors may damage your personal fortune!
Avoid wearing big red and purple.
No one should wear gorgeous clothes to the grave, right? But Bao Jie still reminds everyone that sweeping graves is a serious activity after all.
Don't sweep others' graves.
Some people will visit the graves of friends who are away from home, or girls will follow their unmarried boyfriends to visit the graves. Although they are kind, they have made a big taboo! After all, it is not a family, and different fortunes may bring bad luck.
Avoid people who are in poor health from going to the grave.
When people are sick, it is the time when the yang is weak. If you go to the grave, you may not be the only one who comes back with those messy things. In addition, children under the age of 6 are also very careful when sweeping graves.
6 avoid ridicule and criticism.
Where the spirit sleeps, laughter and slapping will disturb it. It is disrespectful behavior, which may attract revenge, and criticism is even worse. Moreover, passing by others and judging the dead is also an act, which will lead to disaster.
Avoid making mistakes during grave sweeping time.
Sister Bao checked the information before, and it is better to sweep the grave on odd days, and the time is suitable for early morning (5-7 o'clock) and afternoon (15- 17 o'clock).
However, we should remind everyone that it is best to finish sweeping graves before the sun goes down, otherwise the yang will gradually decline and people with low luck will be easily angered.
Long grass needs pruning.
Weeds grow on the grave, or the tombstone is damaged and must be trimmed. Our vegetation will affect the fate and health of our families. Once the climate gets bigger, it will be bad.
Jie Bao hopes that everyone can keep in mind the eight taboos of tomb sweeping in Qingming Festival, and it is best to let friends and relatives know in advance, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Wear jewelry well, and it is best not to wear grade 4 gems.
Well, we've talked about the taboo of sweeping graves. Let's talk about the taboos on jewelry first. Some jewelry can't be worn to sweep the grave.
1 Red gems except cinnabar
Red is a symbol of joy and enthusiasm. Usually, wearing a red gem will have a prosperous wealth effect, which is great ~ But on such a "sad" day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it will be out of place for you to wear it again.
△ Red tourmaline
△
△ red spinel
In addition to these gems in the above picture, there are Nanhong, Warring States red agate, and so on. Don't wear it! But strangely, cinnabar is an exception. If you must wear colored jewelry in your animal year, it is cinnabar ~
2 purple gems
Purple, like red, is a festive color, which can be welcomed by people at ordinary times ~ but it was put in the cold palace that day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, alas, there is no way, who makes it different from the festive atmosphere?
△ kunzite
△ Le Shu Lai
△ Zi Long Crystal (Chalos)
△ amethyst
Obsidian, tourmaline and Cui Mo.
It is estimated that there will be treasure fans wondering: These are precious stones, why can't they be worn? Friends, sweeping the grave is to remember, what do you want!
Obsidian is so powerful that it is called "darth vader" in movies and is regarded as a novelty. So for the sake of children, don't wear it when sweeping graves.
The same is true of tourmaline, which has been nicknamed "Broken Gold" since ancient times. Even the Empress Dowager Cixi regarded it as a jewel, and Tomb-Sweeping Day didn't want to wear it.
△ If you still wear tourmaline, it is wrong.
As for Cui Mo, it is said that as long as Cui Mo is dug up in the mining area, it should be done immediately to increase its effectiveness. Therefore, the effect of Mo Cuibi and driving away the villain is a lever ~ usually worn, it can definitely give you:
4 titanium crystal
Titanium crystal is a kind of hair crystal. Because of its scarce output, it looks golden and shiny, and is known as the "king of crystals".
It is said that the energy of titanium crystal is very strong, even a bit "overbearing". Although the effect is very good, it is not suitable for ancestor worship in Qingming Festival, just like the gems above.
Three kinds of jewelry suitable for Qingming wear
You can't wear this and that, so what jewelry is suitable for Qingming? In fact, there are many choices, such as jade, wood, amber and so on.
1 Emerald Emerald
In fact, ordinary jadeite jade also has the effect of "transformation", but it is gentle and light, and it can also be a low-level disaster at a critical time.
Moreover, Hetian jade is more suitable for Qingming wear than jade, because its color is plain and clean, its energy is mild and tough, and whether it is a pendant or a bracelet, it can make you peaceful.
2 Wood grade
Wooden ornaments have a very soft atmosphere, and most of them have the function of self-cultivation. It is also a standard ornament in Tomb-Sweeping Day. For example, Hainan Huang Huali, known as "gold in wood", has fresh fragrance, beautiful patterns and moderate hardness density (not easy to deform), which is very suitable for making bracelets:
There is also lobular rosewood, which is called "the wood of kings". Its sandalwood is charming, which can calm the nerves and calm the mood:
Needless to say, Aquilaria sinensis has multiple identities. It is not only a treasure of medicinal materials, but also a precious spice. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "a dollar" and "the price of incense is a hundred gold". Wearing it is both beautiful and healthy;
3 amber beeswax
Amber beeswax can soothe the nerves, stabilize the wearer's whole body gas field, prevent distraction, anxiety and paranoia, and has a low-key and moist appearance, which is very suitable for women to wear when sweeping graves.
Sister Bao whispered:
I hope this "grave-sweeping tip" can help everyone. Besides, Sister Bao thinks someone should ask: Which hand should I wear to sweep the grave? Just answer first-it's better to wear it on your right hand. Because the right hand represents evil, jewelry can help you turn disaster into evil ~
The above is about whether you can wear cinnabar in the animal year, and it is about sharing cinnabar. Can I bring cinnabar after reading the animal year? I hope this will help everyone!
