The six common taboos, during Qingming Festival.

  1. Ancestral worship is traditionally observed from 9 am to 12 pm, avoiding the period from 1 pm to 3 pm known as “未时” (wèi shí) as a mark of respect to ancestors
  2. It’s taboo to wear bright colors, heavy makeup, or flashy jewelry during tomb-sweeping, maintaining a solemn atmosphere to honor the departed. 
  3. Delay returning home after tomb-sweeping, as graveyards are believed to be linked with the underworld. Visit a shopping mall to dispel any negative energy before returning home.
  4. Ensure your hairstyle doesn’t cover your forehead, and avoid buying new shoes three days before and after Qingming Festival to prevent any mishaps.
  5. Avoid wearing items like jade jewelry, red strings, or copper coins during tomb-sweeping, reflecting respect for ancestors and Chinese cultural heritage.
  6. On the day of ancestral worship, young children, teenagers born after 2000, and the elderly should wear white attire.
