When visiting the graves, one needs to burn incense to the ancestors and worship the land temple near the graves. Therefore, burning incense and worshiping Buddha on Qingming Festival is in line with the tone of the festival. What should we pay attention to when burning bundles during the Qingming Festival?Burning bundles, also known as burning packages, is a form of folk ancestor worship, similar to burning "parcels" to the underworld.During the Ghost Festival and Cold Clothes Festival, most people burn paper at the graves of their deceased relatives to show their respect. However, some people who cannot visit the graves for some reasons burn bundles instead. 1. 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." 2. 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. 3. A big “封” character should be written on the joint of the back of the cloth to indicate that it is sealed. Other ghosts are not allowed to open it and read it at will. 4. Roll up a roll of money paper, wrap it with white paper, and write "For porters only". "Porter" is the "postman" in the underworld. Without porters, the ghost money cannot be delivered. Things to note when burning incense and paper1. When buying paper for burning, don't buy the kind of printed materials that come in stacks. One sheet costs hundreds of millions. That money is not real and is not as valuable as old rubles or Vietnamese dong. There was so much stuff piled up that I couldn’t even buy a popsicle. Too gross. However, while spending big money, it may not be a bad idea to spend a little bit of this. There are many debt collectors out there who will shamelessly ask you for money and harass you if you don't give it. In that case, you have to respond to them with small amounts of money like this.2. Buy yellow straw paper, spread it out, then take a real hundred-yuan bill and press it on the paper. You should feel that the hundred-yuan bill is a stamp. Press it from right to left and from top to bottom, row by row, until the whole paper is covered. Burning paper like this is hard currency down there. Money is real, and having it in your pocket gives you face. 3. Fold the paper for burning, cut it into seven or eight pieces with one cut, and fold it diagonally twice each time. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to burn a pile of paper. It is very convenient to stack them up and burn them. 4. Before you prepare to burn paper, you'd better prepare a lighter (preferably windproof, as the 15th of July is a very yin day with strong winds) and a small stick. This will make it convenient for you to pull up the pressed paper when burning it, allowing air to circulate and facilitating burning. Using a discarded mop rod at home is a good choice, but be careful not to take it back after use, just throw it away. 5. You have to wait until it’s completely dark before you burn the money. No one will dare to come out to collect the money in the daytime. When you go to burn paper, try to avoid it if you see burning paper and don't step on it. Sometimes an intersection will be filled with piles of paper ashes and you can't avoid them. In that case, you have to carefully weave through them. Sometimes you may need to take a big step. Before you go through, you have to say, "Excuse me, please let me pass." 6. Before burning paper, draw a circle on the ground. Be careful not to circle yourself inside. Leave a gap in the northwest corner to facilitate relatives below to come in and take the money. 7. Keep a serious expression when burning paper, don't laugh or play around. Since you are here, just be respectful. 8. Before burning paper for your relatives, light two pieces and throw them outside the circle to answer the lonely ghosts who have no relatives to send money. 9. When burning paper, you should chant something, such as: XXX, I am sending you money and flowers. Today all your grandchildren and brothers and sisters have come to see you. 10. You must insist on watching the paper burn out before you leave. This can prevent fire and also prevent the wind from blowing the paper out and being picked up by passers-by, which would upset the elderly person. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
