myfs_159879 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi cecil,Thanks for all the help. I just want to clarify something.. They say its not good to transfer on the 3rd lunar month. Is it because of qing ming? If it is.. The qing ming on 2015 falls on the 2nd lunar month. Does that make a difference?When checking the auspicious dates. I found that april 11 is auspicious day for us to transfer. Is it okay to transfer? April 5 is the qing mingThank you very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 13, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 13, 2015 These are some considerations:1. No offence: Qing Ming is a "Chinese" thing. Thus, traditionally; it only applies to the Chinese. Thus, if one is not a Chinese, this should be a non-issue.2. The essence of "Qing Ming" is "to pay respects to one's ancestors".?2.1. And in the past; or donkey years ago; the dead are buried unlike today where many can't afford to bury one's dead. And even in Singapore, if we do bury the dead; often, within 5-10 or 15 years later; the grave may have to be exhumed as directed by our government who may be eyeing that plot of land.2.2. Thus, usually one week before and one week after; IF one has an ancestor buried somewhere or their urns housed somewhere; traditionally, one is supposed to visit one's ancestor(s) during this two weeks leeway - instead of running away to "do one's business" such as moving house.?2.3. Here; the consideration is/was who is more important? Your ancestor or your moving house? To the ancestor; of course! You should visit your elder's first.3. Wait! What if I don't have any ancestors?3.1. Then, why so afraid of moving in during QIng Ming. You have no one to visit, first?4. What happens if I do plan to visit my ancestor(s) earlier. For example, if Qing Ming this year is on 5th April and if the person has already visited the ancestor ON or BEFORE 5th April; then why not; one can move-in anything after that visit.?4.1. Here, the ancestor would not have any excuses (if any) to say that one has not yet paid them a visit. One has done it, already. What more does the ancestor want? Pay them a visit again? Maybe next, year! This year, seen it, done it.?5. In summary; if one does not have any ancestor to visit during Qing Ming or has done so; PRIOR to move-in; can / may / could move-in during the Qing Ming month. 6. From your account name; your account does not seem Chinese. If so, you are certainly not confined to (not sounding racial) a Chinese thing i.e. this does not even apply to you at all.
