What are the customs of the Lower Yuan Festival?

Fasting and offering sacrifices:
The Lower Yuan Day is also one of the dates for fasting as stipulated in Taoist fasting rules. Taoism believes that all things that require the use of divine power, such as praying for blessings, warding off disasters, relieving suffering, apologizing, seeking immortality, prolonging life, and saving the dead, etc., all require fasting. The methods of practicing fasting can be roughly divided into two categories: one category has roughly three types, and the first is setting up fasting offerings. That is to say, an altar is set up to offer food and pray to the gods in order to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. There were nine ways of setting up altars in ancient times: the top three altars were for the state, the middle three altars were for ministers, and the bottom three altars were for the common people. In later generations, the establishment of altars gradually declined. Offering vegetarian food can “accumulate virtue and heal the disease”; second, fasting. The ancients would bathe and change clothes before offering sacrifices, and not drink alcohol or eat meat, in order to keep their external organs clean and their bodies and minds pure, to show their sincerity and respect. This was called fasting. Fasting can “harmonize the spirits and prolong life”; the Three Heart Fasts. Mental fasting can make the mind peaceful and tranquil.
Pray to the gods:
Judging from the evolution of the content and objects of sacrifice, the Lower Yuan Festival has incorporated many sacrificial customs in agricultural production, making it an agricultural festival for worshiping gods, praying for disasters and evil spirits, and praying for a good harvest. In Putian, Fujian Province, every household will offer sacrifices to the water god in the fields in the evening of the Lower Yuan Festival, praying for moisture for the crops in the dry winter and for their safety during the winter. During the sacrifice, vegetarian food is placed on the table and incense sticks are inserted into the ridges of the fields to show piety.
