These three types of incense can not be used for burning all kinds of incense, there are obvious differences between them.Red - represents joy and is generally used in weddings, festivals and celebrations. Yellow - represents respect and is generally used for celebrating birthdays, inviting gods, worshipping Buddha, and relieving disasters. It is the most reasonable color. Green - represents darkness and is usually used for collecting ghosts, sending flower trays, opening spirits, and performing vegetarian rituals. Therefore: Before burning incense every time, it is advisable to consider what color of incense to burn so that you can obtain the best blessings and avoid burning the wrong incense. No matter what it is, the more the better. There is also a limit to burning incense. Generally, it is best to burn one stick of incense (three sticks). One stick is the Kaitai incense, which represents a happy family, loving father and filial son, good fortune and luck, and health and longevity. Three pillars (nine branches) are the incense of progress, which brings harmony among relatives, stability among neighbors, fame and fortune, and good health and longevity. The nine pillars (also known as the nine grades, with incense sticks inserted horizontally in a row of three in a square shape) are the rotating incense, which can reach in all directions, transfer and ascend to higher positions, when all things cease to exist, and the four elements are empty. This incense cannot be burned under normal circumstances. It is used on the first day of the first lunar month every year to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
