1. The Deeper Meaning of Qingming: An Energy Connection Point for All Things to Be “Pure and Bright”
Qingming is not only a traditional festival for ancestor worship, but also the most crucial “March Festival” among the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. In the traditional calendar, Qingming represents “the birth of pure and bright things,” symbolizing the rise of Yang energy between heaven and earth, and the flourishing of all things.
From the perspective of Bazi numerology and astronomical coordinates, Qingming marks the beginning of the “Chen Month” in the Ganzhi calendar. In the culture of I Ching, the Qingming solar term corresponds to the “Zetian Guai Hexagram” among the twelve ebb and flow hexagrams, representing the strengthening of Yang energy breaking through the encirclement of Yin energy, and is the most active moment of vitality. Therefore, Qingming is regarded as the most critical “energy connection moment”

If you miss this time, you should also complete the offerings by 3:00 PM complete the offerings.
- Absolute Taboo – “Gang Sai Gui Hu”: Every day from 3 PM to 5 PM (Shenshi) is the “Gang Sai Gui Hu Shi” (Time when Heavenly Gang Qi blocks ghost portals). During this time, the righteous energy of Tian Gang seals the channels, preventing ancestors from receiving offerings. Sweeping tombs at this time is equivalent to “doing it in vain.”
