Choose a crossroads for worship because the crossroads are well connected, allowing porters (also known as postmen) to easily find your coordinates and find the ancestors' money earlier, and the ancestors can also receive it earlier.2. Paper money must be burned cleanly as this is called turning yang into yin. After burning it clean, remember not to look back on your way home, even if someone calls you. Those who smoke can light a cigarette on the way home. Those who have children at home should stop for a while at the doorstep, pat their bodies, and then wait for a while before entering the house. 3. Remember to burn more paper money for the postman in the underworld . Before we start burning, we should prepare 3 to 5 gold ingots, and then take some scattered paper money for the postman. This fee should be burned separately. Remember not to mix it with the money for relatives. 4. When burning paper bundles, you should follow the steps to burn the money for the postman and then put the gold ingots, paper money for the dead, envelopes, etc. in the circle and burn them in a cross shape. When burning them, you must express who you are burning it for. You must say it out loud, hoping that they will live a good life after receiving the money and keep the family safe. If you have anything else you want to say, you can ask the postman to pass on the message. The whole process must be carried out according to the steps, don't be bothered by it. 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."
