On which day do we burn bundles during the Ghost Festival? Is it in the morning or evening?
In folk culture, people burn bundles for their ancestors on the Ghost Festival in order to send some "heavenly money" to their ancestors. So when is the Ghost Festival burned ? Is it in the morning or in the evening? The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the beginning of the second half of the year, so we also call it the first autumn. To find out what the seventh lunar month of 2019 will be like, come to Shuimoxiansheng.com to find out!When is the day for burning bundles during the Ghost Festival?Most people burn paper money during the Ghost Festival on the 14th and 15th day of the seventh lunar month . The so-called bundle or package refers to the wallet or bag of clothes sent from the world of the living to the "underworld" (the underworld), which is a symbolic thing. Generally speaking, there are two types of baggage used for ancestor worship, but they are only differentiated in their surface. One is a plain bundle used for funerals of new relatives within three years; the other is a bundle printed with ink lines and patterns used for funerals of old relatives or even three or five generations of distant relatives.In addition to the baggage wrapping, other things we need to prepare when worshiping our relatives include: gold ingots, paper money for the dead, small yellow paper, Buddhist mantra wheels, and five-hole coins. Yuanbao: Generally speaking, it is what we call gold foil and silver foil. In addition to giving it to relatives, it can also be used to worship gods. Ghost money: Some ghost money is printed with "Hell's Coin", while others are printed with "Bank of Heaven". Just choose according to local customs. It and Yuanbao are collectively called hard currency. Small yellow paper: It is commonly known as "road pass". Buddhist mantra wheel: burned to the enemies, relatives and creditors of the deceased, so that they can be reborn and avoid the cycle of revenge. Five-hole coin: If you don’t have the real thing, you can print it yourself. Is the time for burning bundles on the Ghost Festival in the morning or in the evening?If someone visits the graves during the Ghost Festival, they must offer paper money before 12:00 a.m. every time; if they cannot visit the graves, they must find a large intersection to burn paper money after 9:00 p.m. In some places, it starts after dark at 5:30 in the evening and lasts until late at night.The first thing to consider when worshipping ancestors at a crossroads is the time. Generally, it is done in the evening or at night, before midnight (23:00~1:00) . Why choose a crossroads for worship? Because the crossroads are well connected, porters (also known as postmen) can easily find your coordinates and find your ancestors' money earlier, and your ancestors can also receive it earlier. 1. 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, and remember not to mix it with the money for relatives. 2. After burning the money for the postman, put the gold ingots, paper money for the dead, envelopes, etc. in the circle and burn them on the cross. 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 their 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. 3. Paper money must be burned cleanly, which is called "turning yang into yin" in folk culture. 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. 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."
