What are the items used for ancestor worship?(1) FoodFood is the most important thing for people. In the early days, offering food was the main means of sacrifice. The Book of Rites states in Li Yun: "The beginning of rituals started with food and drink. They roasted millet and cut pork, drank from dirty vessels, beat sticks and earthen drums, all of which were ways to show respect to ghosts and gods." This means that sacrifices originated from offering food to gods. As long as millet and pork were burned for gods' consumption, holes were dug in the ground to serve as kettles and water was scooped from hands to offer to gods, and earthen drums were beaten for music, people's wishes and respect could be conveyed to gods and ghosts. If we study the origin of characters, we will find that most of the characters that mean "sacrifice" are related to food. In ancient times, carnivorous animals used for sacrifices were called "sacrifices", referring to livestock such as horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs, which were later called the "six domestic animals". The most commonly used of the six domestic animals are cattle, sheep and pigs. Fish, rabbits and game were also used in sacrifices, but they were not considered "sacrifices". In addition to "sacrifices", the food offered as sacrifices also includes grains, which are called "粢盛". Fresh fruits, vegetables and wine are also commonly used offerings in folk sacrifices. (2) Firecrackers When entering a cemetery, you must first light firecrackers. Firecrackers cannot be too close to the cemetery, and certainly not on the graves. They must be set at a certain distance from the cemetery. (3) Incense Incense is like a radio wave signal. Once you light the incense, your ancestors will receive it and know that their descendants have come to worship you. (4) Candle Candles represent lights, which illuminate the bright path for future generations, so that they will not go astray. Incense and candles are essential and important items for Qingming festival. (5) Firecrackers When entering a cemetery, you must first light firecrackers. Firecrackers cannot be set too close to the cemetery, and certainly not on the graves. They must be set at a certain distance from the cemetery. (6) Yellow mounting paper It is better to use less yellow mounting paper rather than more. Don't burn the paper too hastily. It's not good to be hasty. Burn four pieces at a time. Remember not to pick it up randomly with a stick as it will easily break. Your movements must be slow, dignified, and proper, because you are renewing the incense and must burn it cleanly.
