How to write on the Ghost Festival baggage? What is the writing method for the Ghost Festival baggage?
In folk culture, there is a custom of burning a bundle for the deceased during the Ghost Festival, which is a package of paper containing paper money, clothes for the dead, etc. So how should the words on the bundle be written? What is the way to write on the bundle for the Ghost Festival ? Legend has it that every seventh month of the lunar calendar, the gates of the underworld open and hundreds of ghosts roam at night, so the entire seventh month is called the Ghost Month. If you want to know more about the auspicious and inauspicious days in the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019, please follow Mr. Shuimo’s website.How to write on the Ghost Festival bag?Writing on the envelope means writing the name and title of the ancestor, the number of envelopes received, the name and time of the person burning the envelope, etc. in the relevant column on the cover of the envelope.1. If the first column of the bundle is a flower bundle, fill in the number of bundles in the blank before the word "封" below. One bundle is 1 envelope, and one load is 2 envelopes. Fill in the total number of bundles written to a certain ancestor. If it is a white packet, the space for "the date of the Zhongyuan Festival" will be blank and needs to be filled in with "the date of the Zhongyuan Festival". The reason for leaving it blank is that for the newly deceased, one needs to burn packages for the 79th anniversary, the first anniversary, the second anniversary and the third anniversary. The content of each package is different, so it is left blank so that the person burning the package can fill it in according to the situation. When writing the 47th day of the lunar month on a white envelope, write “the first 7th day of the lunar month will turn into wealth” on the blank space, write “the 27th day of the lunar month will turn into wealth” on the blank space, and so on. On the seventh day of the seventh month, write "the period of transforming wealth after the seventh month"; when burning the first anniversary package, write "the period of transforming wealth with small auspiciousness" on the blank space; when burning the second anniversary package, write "the period of transforming wealth with great auspiciousness" on the blank space; when burning the third anniversary package, write "the period of transforming wealth after removing the mourning clothes" on the blank space. 2. The second column of the bundle is usually not filled in. However, if there is no blank in the first column for filling in the number of envelopes, fill in the number of envelopes before "上奉". If the packet is written from an older person to a younger one, then “上奉” should be changed to “付于”. 3. If the person in the third column of the bundle has just passed away, you need to write the word "new" before the word "old". If there is no word "old" on the cover, then write "new old" or "newly passed away". After the word "故" comes the ancestor's title and name. The writing method is different for different relationships and generations. First of all, you need to write the relationship between the ancestor and the person who sent the package after the word "Gu" and before the name. Secondly, men are called kao and women are called bi. However, if the ancestor is of the same generation or younger than the person sending the package, they cannot be called kao or bi. Just write down the relationship directly. The third is to write the name and gender, and the surname and given name are separate, such as "Mr. So-and-so" for male ancestors (the first "Mr. So-and-so" is the surname, "Mr. So-and-so" is the gender, and the last two "Mr. So-and-so" are the given name). For female ancestors, “Ms. So-and-so’s mother, Ms. So-and-so” is written (the first “so-and-so” is the surname of the husband’s family, and the second “so-and-so” is the surname of the maternal family. In ancient times, most women had no formal names but only nicknames, and calling them by nicknames was not respectful enough, so they were called Ms. So-and-so based on their maternal family surname). Fourthly, after the ancestor’s gender, male ancestors should be referred to as “old men” and female ancestors should be referred to as “old Confucian men”. If an old person is writing to a young person, then regardless of gender, just write “under the name” after the name. Here, “collecting and using” refers to “collecting and using the true soul” and “collecting and using in the underworld”. You don’t need to worry about this. 4. In the fourth column of the bundle, after the word "filial piety", write the relationship between the sender and the receiver (self-proclaimed) and their name. Like the third column, this is relatively complicated, and the titles for different relationships and generations are different (see the attached table for specific writing methods). 5. The fifth column of the bundle is relatively simple to write. Just write down the specific lunar year, month and day of the day when the bundle is burned. One more thing to add is that on the back of the package, you need to write a more obvious word "封" on the seal to indicate that it is sealed. This means that the package has been sealed by the sender and cannot be opened except by the recipient. The word "封" was originally stamped with a seal, but most people don't have seals so they write it with a brush or a soft pen. If the word "封" is already on the cover, there's no need to bother. 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."
