What are the taboos in ancestor worship?1. The order of tomb sweeping is to sweep the tomb first, that is, to clean the cemetery. The second is sacrifice. This procedure is very important. First, it is to express grief, and second, it is to communicate with the ancestors. Because the mountains have spirits but no masters, and the ancestors have masters but no spirits, communicating with the ancestors can better obtain the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers.2. When sweeping the graves, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of the graves of their relatives, burn the paper money, add new soil to the graves, repair the graves, break off a few green branches and insert them on the graves, and put some paper money on top so that others can see that there are still descendants in this grave, and then kowtow and pay tribute. 3. Be cautious when taking photos at the cemetery of your ancestors, whether it is a photo of the tomb-sweepers themselves or a photo of the tomb-sweepers and the cemetery. It is even more taboo to take photos of other graves. 4. On the morning of the day of ancestor worship, when washing your face, if you look in the mirror and find a black spot on your forehead, it means your fortune is bad. Try to avoid worshiping and sweeping tombs. If you must go, you can bring a consecrated amulet with you to resolve the problem. 5. Safety is also a point that needs attention. When worshiping ancestors, you need to burn paper money and set off firecrackers. Fire prevention is very important. Also, do not stay in remote places. You need to ensure safety in order to better worship your ancestors. 6. The cemetery is the home of the Yin spirits. Do not laugh, yell, use foul language, run around, fight, or urinate anywhere. If you come across other graves on the way, do not step on or kick the tombstones. Do not move other tombstones or sacrificial items. If you do bump into them, you should sincerely say "Sorry, I'm sorry to bother you." You should be cautious within the cemetery and control your emotions and attitude to avoid disturbing and offending other Yin spirits. 7. The time for sacrifices also needs attention. Try to choose a time when the Yang energy is strong, before dawn or in the evening. People who are not good at sacrifices and tomb sweeping should try to avoid sacrifices and tomb sweeping. Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. is usually the best time for tomb sweeping. 8. Don’t forget to include offerings such as incense, paper money, etc. Burning paper is generally divided into white paper and yellow paper. White paper is generally used for sacrifices, while yellow paper is used for worshiping Bodhisattvas and gods. The significance of sacrificeSacrifice is a religious activity that originates from the belief in the harmonious coexistence of heaven and earth. It refers to a series of symbolic actions or rituals performed to worship gods and ancestors in accordance with the requirements of religious or social customs. Sacrifice is a traditional ritual to pray to gods for blessings and ward off disasters, and is known as a lucky ceremony. "Sacrifice" also means respecting gods, praying to gods and worshiping ancestors. According to the research results of modern anthropology and archaeology, the two most primitive beliefs of human beings are: belief in heaven and earth, and belief in ancestors. Beliefs in heaven and earth and in ancestors originated from the early human worship of nature and ancestors, which gave rise to various worship and sacrificial activities. The Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival are festivals formed by primitive beliefs to worship the gods of heaven and earth and ancestors. Sacrifice is a part of Chinese rituals and a major part of Confucian etiquette. There are five rituals, and the most important one is sacrifice, which is to serve the gods and bring blessings. The objects of worship are divided into three categories: gods of heaven, gods of earth, and gods of man. The gods in heaven are called "si", the gods on earth are called "ji", and the ancestral temples are called "xiang". The sacrificial view is recorded in the Confucian books such as "The Book of Zhou", "The Book of Rites", "The Commentary on the Book of Rites" and "The Supplement to the Great Learning". According to the explanation in Cihai, in the religious and folk sense, sacrifice is a general term for offering sacrifices to gods, ancestors or mourning the dead with rituals. Such as offering sacrifices to heaven, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and public sacrifices; sacrifice: refers to offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors. The contents of sacrifice include venue, ceremony, sacrificial text (prayers, words), and offerings. The forms of sacrifices have been constantly changing with the passage of history. In recent years, the emerging online sacrifices have gradually entered people's lives and are being adopted by people under the advocacy of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is predicted that online sacrifices will become one of people’s sacrificial activities in the future.Only those who know their destiny can have a smooth and successful life.
