Notes on sacrifice

1. Burn the first stick of incense: respectfully invite ancestors of all generations to come and enjoy the sacrifice. Why? You are here to offer sacrifices to him, so you should put fruits and cakes on the table and light incense, and "respectfully invite ancestors of all generations to come and enjoy the sacrifice." Invite your great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and all your ancestors, respectfully invite them to come together. The second stick of incense: respectfully invite the tomb owner to come and enjoy the sacrifice. The third stick of incense: Respectfully invite the local City God and Land God to come and enjoy the sacrifice. After burning paper, burning incense, offering fruits and kowtowing, divide a portion of the offered fruits and cakes and sprinkle them on the paper ashes, and the rest can be taken home. 2. When burning paper , you should start burning the paper very respectfully, thinking of all the kindness of your ancestors. During this process, the weeds and dirty things around the grave must be cleaned up, which is equivalent to cleaning for the ancestors. When burning paper, do not rush to pick it up with a stick. Burn it one piece at a time. After burning a piece of paper, recite "Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun" and then nod your head, which means kowtowing. This way you will have a full sense of respect and the effect will be best. This is called adding fuel to the fire. 3. Five kinds of fruits should be offered in fruit sacrifices. Our ancients said that what people need are the five blessings. We often talk about the five blessings coming to the door, so we offer five kinds of fruits. Remember to prepare pastries, as fruits represent Yin and pastries represent Yang. When we worship our ancestors, we must pay attention to yin and yang. 4. Lighting candles for ancestors is actually lighting candles for ourselves. Candles are lights and also yang. After lighting the candles, the future of our descendants will be bright. It should be noted that: three years before death, the candles are white, and three years after death, the candles are red.
