2. Worship should be done in order of priority. The order is: father, mother, eldest son, eldest daughter, second son, second daughter... and so on. After the worship is completed, the offerings are blessed by the ancestors and then everyone can eat them.
3. Do not wear red clothes or brightly colored clothes. Plain clothes reflect solemnity. Dress neatly to show courtesy and respect to ancestors.

8. On the day of sacrifice, you are prohibited from buying anything to take home. Do not buy flowers, clothes, shoes, etc. to take home.

Items needed for ancestor worship

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Candles
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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Fruit
Fruits represent results. The grave can take care of us for three to five generations, so just bring five kinds of fruits.
7. Pastries
Pastries represent the five grains, and the ingredients of pastries can be determined according to the specific situation.
8. Wine
Wine is the essence of the five grains. Wine is used in sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors. Therefore, you need to offer wine to your ancestors by pouring it three times.
9. Flowers
Chrysanthemums represent thoughts and remembrance. Chrysanthemums are usually suitable for visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, and white chrysanthemums are especially suitable for the scene.
