2. **Offering Paper Money**: Burning paper money and other symbolic items to ensure the ancestors have enough money in the afterlife.
3. **Burning Joss Sticks**: Offering incense to honor the spirits of ancestors.
4. **Fasting**: Some people fast on the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day to purify themselves and show respect to the ancestors.
5. **Wearing New Clothes**: Wearing new clothes is a custom to prevent evil spirits from harming the living.
6. **Planting Trees**: Planting trees on Tomb-Sweeping Day is considered a way to honor the ancestors and promote growth.
7. **Fishing in Rivers**: In some regions, people believe that catching fish in rivers on this day brings good luck.
8. **Eating Cold Food**: Eating cold food, like cold noodles or cold rice, is a custom in some areas, believed to help the ancestors in the afterlife.
