In July, melons and fruits are fragrant, so we also call the seventh month of the lunar calendar the "Melon Month". Follow Mr. Shui Mo's website and let us learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019!What is the format for writing bundles during the Ghost Festival?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. Although this is a simple task, when writing the package, one needs to clarify the relationship between the ancestors who receive the package and the descendants who burn the package, and then write the package according to the prescribed name.The text on the cover is arranged vertically, and the contents of each column from right to left are: First column: Prepare x amount of paper money for the underworld during the Ghost Festival (i.e. prepare x amount of paper money for the underworld during the Ghost Festival) Second column: Shangfeng XX (i.e.: respectfully presented to XX) The third column: XX received it (i.e., the deceased old man XXXX received it) The fourth column: filial piety XX sacrifice (i.e.: filial piety XXXX in the world) Fifth column: Kneel down and burn on XX day of XX month of XX year of Tianyun (i.e. kneel down and burn on XX day of XX month of XX year of lunar calendar) 1. First column of the bundle: If it is a flower bundle, fill in the number of bundles in the blank space 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 envelope, the space for "the date of the Zhongyuan Festival" is blank and needs to be filled in. The reason for leaving it blank is that for the newly deceased, it is necessary to burn 79-day anniversary envelopes, one-year anniversary envelopes, two-year anniversary envelopes and three-year anniversary envelopes. The content to be filled in each time a envelope is burned is different, so it is left blank for the person burning the envelope to fill in according to the situation. When writing the white envelopes for the 49th day, write "the first seven days of transformation into wealth" on the blank space for the first seven, write "the second seven days of transformation into wealth" on the second seven, and so on, write "the final seven days of transformation into wealth" on the 47th; when burning the first anniversary envelopes, write "the period of minor auspiciousness in transformation into wealth" on the blank space; when burning the second anniversary envelopes, write "the period of major auspiciousness in transformation into wealth" on the blank space; when burning the third anniversary envelopes, write "the period of transformation into wealth after removing the mourning clothes" on the blank space. 2. The second column of the bundle: Generally, it does not need to be filled in. However, if there is no blank in the first column for the number of envelopes, fill in the number 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. The third column of the bundle: If the person has just passed away, you need to write the word "new" before the word "old". If there is no "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, it is necessary to write down 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", but if the ancestor is of the same generation or younger than the person who sent the package, they cannot be called "Kao" or "Bi", and it is enough to directly write down the relationship. The third is to write the name and gender, and the surname and given name are separate. For example, for male ancestors, it is written as "Mr. So-and-so" (the first "So-and-so" is the surname, "Mr." is the gender, and the last two "So-and-so" are the given name), and for female ancestors, it is written as "Mr. So-and-so's surname" (the first "So-and-so" is the surname of the husband's family, and the last "So-and-so" is the surname of the maternal family, because most women in ancient times had no academic names but only nicknames, and calling them by nicknames was not respectful enough, so they were called by their maternal family surnames). 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”. 4. 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. This is as complicated as the third column, and the titles for different relationships and generations are different. 5. The fifth column of the bundle: This column is relatively simple to write. Just write down the specific lunar year, month and day of the day when the bundles are burned. How to write the name of the Ghost Festival bundle?The upper nine generations are called the ancestors.
