What are the taboos about sending winter clothes on Ghost Festival on October 1st? What offerings are needed for the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019?
The Cold Clothes Festival on October 1st every year is also called the Ghost Festival. It is a traditional sacrificial festival in my country, which is said to have originated in the Zhou Dynasty. What are the taboos about sending winter clothes on Ghost Festival on October 1st? What offerings are needed for the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019? The tenth month of the lunar calendar is also called the Dew Moon, because there is abundant dew in October when autumn turns to winter. Let’s go to Shuimoxiansheng.com to take a look at the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2019.What are the taboos in sending winter clothes on Ghost Festival on October 1st?1. During the Cold Clothes Festival, all paper money must be burnedMany people just go through the process without paying attention to whether everything they are burning is completely burned. Here I want to tell you that all clothes and paper money for the deceased must be burned. Only when they are burned thoroughly can these papers from the world of the living be transformed into silk, cloth, houses, clothes, quilts, gold, silver and copper coins in the underworld. 2. Help the lonely ghosts When people send winter clothes to their loved ones, they also burn some colored paper at the crossroads to symbolize cloth. The purpose is to help the lonely souls who have no one to worship their ancestors, so that the winter supplies sent to their relatives will not be snatched away by them. 3. Choosing a location for burning winter clothes In some places, the burning of winter clothes is done in front of the deceased's grave, and it is important to visit the grave before the sun rises. In some places, it is customary to burn sacrificial offerings in front of the door. How should those who are away from home offer sacrifices? Here it is suggested to burn paper money at a crossroads facing the direction of home, draw a circle with chalk, and leave a hole facing the direction of home. 4. Gold and Silver Bags Kneel down and kowtow, then draw a circle on the grave, put colored paper and paper money inside the circle, and burn it. Some families not only burn paper money for the dead, but also burn "luxury items" such as mansions and cars made of colorful paper. While burning them, they recite what they want to say to the deceased. 5. Stay away from cemeteries People who are in poor health should not go to the cemetery; the elderly and children should not go to the cemetery; if you encounter something unpleasant on the road, do not go to the cemetery; do not go to the cemetery after dark; do not laugh or play games in the cemetery; do not speak disrespectfully in the cemetery; do not relieve yourself in the cemetery; do not look back when leaving. What offerings are needed for the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019?Other offerings include winter clothes (paper clothes), incense and candles, paper money, fruits, dumplings, colored paper, incense foil, vegetarian wine, etc. Those who are particular can make some paper houses, cars, mobile phones, etc.The process of worshipping during the Cold Clothes Festival (1) There are not many other procedures when worshipping in the ancestral hall or in front of the tablet. You only need to light three incense sticks, burn paper, call on the ancestors and make a wish for the protection of your family. (2) Draw a circle on the ground that is not closed but has a small opening, so that the ancestors can receive the blessings of worship: (3) First, burn some paper outside the circle to reward the five directions of the earth and the past void: (4) Burn paper in the circle and ask the land and the void to pass on these blessings to the ancestors.
