Don't attend funerals, and the zodiac signs of the deceased: at funerals, there is usually a notice board explaining which zodiac signs conflict with the zodiac signs of the deceased and must be avoided. Some will put a basin of water in the mourning hall to bathe the guests who come to attend the funeral to dispel the ominous atmosphere.
Don't cry at the funeral, shed tears for the dead: relatives and friends of the dead should keep calm when holding the funeral ceremony. No one is allowed to cry at this time, otherwise the dead can't leave, and their souls can't ascend to heaven, so they can only stay in the funeral home. If you accidentally drop your tears on the deceased because you cry, it will make the deceased wander around the world and cannot be reincarnated.
Don't cut your hair or shave during the mourning period: according to folk custom, relatives can't cut your hair or shave you during the mourning period at home. It is generally believed that this is to express extreme grief, so that it is impossible to take care of pruning. And its other purpose is to ward off evil spirits, to make yourself look different in peacetime through unkempt appearance, so that the dead can't recognize it and avoid being disturbed.
Don't say "heavy" when going out for a funeral: when going out for a funeral, the coffin bearer should keep quiet and don't say "heavy". If you accidentally blurt it out, it may lead to accidents, such as the coffin being heavier and more difficult to lift, or the coffin falling to the ground while moving.
Don't go to see the temple building, get married and get in touch with pregnant women and babies with filial piety: because it is generally believed that filial piety has an ominous smell, and all occasions related to sacred events and celebrations, such as building temples, setting stoves, or weddings and wedding banquets, should be avoided. Otherwise, under the fierce infection of filial piety, the temple building is ineffective, or the relationship between newlyweds is not good. If undertaker comes into contact with the mother or baby, it will lead to dystocia of the mother and premature death of the baby.

Precautions for grave sweeping:
Because the tomb is neither a stone nor an object, we must pay homage to it as a person or a god. That is to say, whether you are sweeping graves or burning incense in front of eucalyptus trees at home in the morning and evening, you should call his name and greet him. This is the correct method of sacrifice and memorial. The best time to sweep the grave is before noon, and it must be avoided after 3 pm. When the spirit bone is stored in the spirit bone tower of the temple, it must first enter the main hall to worship the gods, and then worship the ancestors. Weeds in the cemetery should be removed (from the periphery to the center). After cleaning, we should worship them according to local customs or religious habits. Often placing bowls or containers in front of gravestones is a disgrace and should be avoided.
