Haoxiang is not only a bridge connecting the mortal world and the nether world, but also an expression of one's grief and gratitude for one's ancestors.

Pay attention to the time of going to the grave.
There are two grave-sweepers, one on the morning of New Year's Day, after the New Year's greetings (there are also grave-sweepers on the third day) and one during Tomb-Sweeping Day; In addition, it is best to sweep graves during the day. Better sweep the grave early. From 10 am to 3 pm, when the sun is shining and the sun is heaviest. It is not recommended to sweep graves at dusk or at night. Tomb-Sweeping Day can be a few days or a week ahead of schedule.
Before sweeping the grave, in addition to preparing sacrifices such as flowers, incense sticks and fruits, we should also prepare cleaning supplies such as brooms and buckets to clean the dirt in front of the grave and wipe the tombstones.
