What are the requirements for sacrifice?

The offerings for sacrifice cannot be eaten before and during the sacrifice. However, in some places, it is believed that such offerings that have participated in sacrifices will taste better with the blessings of the ancestors, so they can be eaten after the sacrifice. Why can we eat it later? Of course it is to show respect to our ancestors.
Clothes should not be too bright. During sacrifices, everyone's clothes must be solemn and simple, and not too bright. Because this kind of activity expresses the longing for loved ones, everyone feels uncomfortable. If others see you wearing this color, they will think you are very happy, which is also a kind of disrespect to your loved ones. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to their own clothing when offering sacrifices.
You are not allowed to play during sacrifice. Sacrifice is a very serious activity, especially when worshiping ancestors, everyone must make up solemnly and keep quiet. If you are bringing your children, you must inform them in advance and supervise their words and actions at all times. Do not let them play around. However, children will not have deep feelings about the separation of life and death, so in some places children are not allowed to be brought to sacrifices.
