Buying shoes in Tomb-Sweeping Day has a bad meaning, because "shoes" are the same as "evil". Buying shoes to go home is equivalent to buying evil spirits, which will affect your luck.

Tomb-Sweeping Day taboo:

1. Don't wear red clothes. Tomb sweeping in Qingming is a very serious matter. Don't dress up in red and purple, or even take pictures in the cemetery. It is best to wear plain or dark clothes when sweeping graves, which is not only a respect for the dead, but also a basic etiquette.

2. Don't laugh. When sweeping the grave, you'd better not play around. Many people will take their children with them when they go to the grave, and sometimes the children will laugh in the cemetery. In fact, this is not good, not only because of disrespect for the dead, but also because there is a folk saying: the cemetery is a place where ghosts sleep, and if they are disturbed, they will attract ghosts.

Precautions for Tomb-Sweeping Day

Pregnant women should avoid grave-sweeping activities on Qingming Day, which is not only influenced by heavy yin. In other ways, the Qingming Festival is very crowded. For the safety of the fetus, it is not recommended for pregnant women to attend. Moreover, the weather of grave sweeping and the surrounding environment are not conducive to the health of pregnant women. In addition, if women have official holidays, they should also avoid such activities.

Don't take photos in the cemetery. The purpose of sweeping graves is to sacrifice ancestors, not to have fun. There is a god who holds his head three feet high. When sweeping the grave, everyone should be respectful, attentive and cautious. Never take a group photo in the cemetery, or even take photos at will, otherwise it will attract a bad atmosphere, and there will be an imbalance between Yin and Yang, which will damage personal fortune.

Don't wear red and purple. Tomb-Sweeping Day can't wear red and purple to the grave, and I believe everyone will not wear such clothes to participate in such activities. However, some people will be careless and inadvertently use red in their clothes or underwear.
