The tenth month of the lunar calendar is a new month. What should we do and what should we avoid in this new month? Visit Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn more about the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2019.How to write on the paper cover for the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019?1. The front side is divided into four lines arranged vertically from right to left. The format for addressing ancestors is written in order: "Winter clothes are donated to XX package", "Presented to the present", "For the late ancestor XX grandfather XX old man", and "Grandson XX great-grandson XX great-great-grandson XX".2. If the deceased’s son is still alive, the son’s name should be addressed and signed when writing the bundle. That is: write in order "XX package of winter clothes", "presented to the present", "received by the late father XX, old man", "XX son and grandson XX great-grandson XX great-great-grandson XX are to be worshipped". The word "Feng" is written on the back of the bundle. If you cannot go to the grave to offer sacrifices, you can burn the bundle somewhere else. A few bundles should be given to "Lifu", and the word "Lifu" can be written on the front of the bundle. 3. There is only one word written on the back of the package: "封", in cursive script, pressed on the seam of the folded paper, representing sealing. Don't let others take it away during the mailing process. It is said that in addition to the word "封" (sealed) on the back of the bundle, the place of death must also be written, with a level of detail similar to that of postal mail, but without the need for a specific house number. The writing format for burning paper bundles during the Cold Clothes Festival:For example, writing a note to a deceased father:Send money for winter clothes. My late father, whose name was XX, may his soul be blessed. He passed away today. His sons are XX and XX. Sun XX Daughter-in-law X If it is a package for a deceased mother, the middle line will be changed to "the late distinguished mother, the old lady from such and such a house". The middle line is the main part of the bundle, indicating the title and name of the person receiving the money. "Gu" means death. "Xiankao" and "Xianbi" are respectful titles for father and mother. It does not matter whether the parents have ever been "Xian" or not. If the grandchildren are sending money to their grandparents as a gift, they should write "Xian Zu Kao" or "Xian Zu Bi". "A certain mansion" indicates that it is a certain family's business. The word "taboo" should be moved half a character to the right. The names of the older generations cannot be spoken or written casually. The man then wrote his name. Females only need to write their surname, not their given name. In some families, women in my grandmother's generation did not have formal names, only nicknames. Children may not necessarily know their mother’s nickname. "Old man" and "old lady" are once again respectful titles. No matter what the deceased's status was during his lifetime, he should be addressed as "Sir" or "Miss". This is fair. The value orientations of the underworld and the world of the living are different. A beggar may ascend to heaven after death, while a king or a minister may go to hell after death. "The soul will benefit from it" shows the younger generation kneeling before the soul of the deceased, holding the money in both hands above their heads and presenting it filially. What kind of winter clothes are burned on the Cold Clothes Festival?There are many kinds of things burned during the Cold Clothes Festival. In addition to burning paper money and winter clothes, some people also burn paper mansions, cars and other high-end items.Legend has it that after the paper clothes are burned, a postman from the underworld will deliver them to the underworld to the designated person. But no one has proven this claim. With the progress of society, there are ready-made sacrificial items like clothes, shoes, cars, etc. Some sacrificial items are ready-made and can be bought everywhere. Some places will buy these directly and burn them for the deceased. Of course, some places still continue the custom of doing it by yourself. Regardless of the custom, offering sacrifices on this day is to express our longing for our deceased relatives, while also teaching our next generation through words and deeds that filial piety should come first, and educating the next generation through practical actions. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
