How to write "荐" on the Ghost Festival baggage?

How to write the recommendation for the bundle? The main thing is who you want to burn the bundle for.
Different generations have different titles, usually going back four generations, namely ancestor, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, to show "loyalty and respect for ancestors." The honorific titles are on the right for men and on the left for women. The ways they refer to themselves also naturally change, and the corresponding names are: son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson.
There is only one word written on the back of the bundle: seal. It is written in cursive, pressing the seam of the origami, to represent the seal, so as not to let others take it away during mailing.

Introduction to the standard writing method for Ghost Festival baggage!

1. If the front side is divided into four lines in total, then it needs to be written vertically from right to left to the ancestors. The order should be written as: "Zhongyuan Huafu so-and-so treasure", "Presented to the present", "Received by the late ancestor so-and-so, old man so-and-so", "Grandson so-and-so, great-grandson so-and-so, great-great-grandson so-and-so".
2. If it is the son who burns the bundle, then the address and the signatory when writing the bundle should mainly be the son. That is to say, you need to write in order "The Zhongyuan Festival gift package is in so-and-so's package", "Presented to the present", "To the late father so-and-so, old man so-and-so, to receive it", and "So-and-so and his grandson so-and-so, great-grandson so-and-so, to worship him". The word "Feng" is written on the back of the bundle. If you cannot go to the grave to offer sacrifices, you can burn the bundle somewhere else. A few bundles should be given to "Lifu", and the word "Lifu" can be written on the front of the bundle.
3. Of course, another very important point is that there is only one word written on the back of the package: "封", in cursive script, pressed against the seam of the folded paper, to represent sealing, so as not to let others take it away during the mailing process. It is said that in addition to the word "封" (sealed) on the back of the bundle, the place of death must also be written, with a level of detail similar to that of postal mail, but without the need for a specific house number.
