Sacrificial Rituals

1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
Precautions
1. Do not laugh, play, run around or bump into anything around a cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors.
Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves.
3. What is usually said during the sacrifice: what you plan to do at the grave, why you do it, and the hope that the ancestors will bless you, and everything will go smoothly and peacefully.

Why do we eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Commemorating Qu Yuan
In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and minister of the State of Chu, faced the pain of losing his country. On May 5th, he threw himself into the Miluo River with a large stone in his arms in anger. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from damaging his body, people filled bamboo tubes with rice and threw them into the river. Later, in order to express their respect and remembrance for Qu Yuan, people would fill bamboo tubes with rice and offer them to him on this day. This is the origin of the earliest rice dumpling in my country - the "tube rice dumpling".
Why did people later use mugwort, reed leaves or lotus leaves to wrap rice dumplings? There is such a record in "Chuxueji": During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, a Changsha man dreamed of a man at night who claimed to be Sanlu Doctor (Qu Yuan's official name) and said to him: "The things you used for sacrifice were stolen by the dragon in the river. From now on you can wrap them with mugwort leaves and tie them with colorful silk threads. Dragons are most afraid of these two things." So people began to make "jiaoshu" by wrapping millet with reed leaves. It has been passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into my country's Dragon Boat Festival food.
