According to the almanac, one of the suitable activities on August 12 of the lunar calendar in 2019 is to offer sacrifices to ancestors. However, since August 12 is the day of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac, people born in the year of the dragon should not participate in sacrifices today.

What should we pay attention to when offering sacrifices?

(1) It is forbidden for women and outsiders to participate in sacrificial ceremonies . Many ethnic groups, such as the Yi, Miao, Nu, Dai, Wa, Hani, Lisu, and Oroqen, have the custom of prohibiting women from participating in sacrificial ceremonies and prohibiting outsiders from entering sacrificial sites.
(2) It is taboo for unclean people to participate in sacrifices to the gods. During Han Chinese sacrifices, it is taboo for unclean people to participate. That is, it is taboo for menstruating women, pregnant women, women who have just given birth, infants, people wearing mourning clothes, and people who have been punished to participate.
(3) Avoid inviting a person of high moral character to preside over the sacrifice. When offering sacrifices , one should choose a person of high moral character who is over 50 years old to preside over the sacrifice. Otherwise, the presiding priest will die immediately due to his young age and will not be able to enjoy such an honor. 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."
