What is the meaning of burning incense?

1. To show sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, and to demonstrate and guide sentient beings.
2. It means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Treasures in all directions.
3. It means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions.
4. It means that the Buddhists' precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and extinguish greed, noise and ignorance". The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples.
It is best to burn three incense sticks. This represents the three non-leakage studies of precepts, concentration and wisdom; it also represents the offerings to the permanent Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This is the most complete and civilized way of burning incense and offering. It is not the number of incense sticks you burn that matters, but the sincerity of your heart. As the saying goes, "Burn three civilized incense sticks and offer a sincere heart." Generally, it is enough to light three incense sticks in front of the main hall.
After lighting the incense, it should be inserted in the middle of the incense burner. The first incense stick should be inserted in the middle, and one should silently recite in one's heart to offer to the Buddha, to be awakened and not confused; the second incense stick should be inserted on the right, and one should silently recite in one's heart to offer to the Dharma, to be righteous and not evil; the third incense stick should be inserted on the left, and one should silently recite in one's heart to offer to the monks, to be pure and not tainted. Customs of the Great Cold solar term: The year-end tooth sacrifice is a custom in some places in southern China, especially in rural areas. During the period from the Great Cold to the Beginning of Spring, there are many important folk customs and festivals, such as the year-end tooth sacrifice, the kitchen god sacrifice and New Year's Eve. The Great Cold solar term is filled with an atmosphere of joy and happiness. It is a cheerful and relaxing solar term. The year-end party originated from the custom of worshipping the God of Land as the “tooth”. The so-called February 2nd is the first tooth, and from then on every second and sixteenth day of the lunar month, people will have "tooth" celebrations, and the sixteenth day of December at the end of the year is the last tooth celebration. "Zuoya", also known as "Zuoyaji", was originally a ceremony to worship the God of Land. The common name of having a delicious meal as "Dayaji" comes from this. There are two kinds of dental ceremonies: the first dental ceremonies and the last dental ceremonies. The first dental ceremonies are on the second day of the second lunar month, while the last dental ceremonies are on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year. There is a folk custom for the whole family to sit together and have the "year-end banquet". The "annual meeting" popular in modern enterprises is a remnant of the year-end party custom.
