How should we choose the attire for sacrifice?

Sacrifice is a solemn and dignified national festival, and solemnity and restraint are the keynote of the festival. The festive Hanfu you wear should adapt to the festive atmosphere. Hanfu that is bright red or green, too festive, or too lively is inappropriate. After comprehensive consideration, we suggest that men can wear solemn and sombre dark-colored casual clothes, and wear more solemn and serious clothes such as Xuanduan when worshiping. Women can wear plain or darker-colored long gowns, skirts, etc.

What should we pay attention to when sweeping tombs and worshipping ancestors?

When worshipping ancestors during tomb sweeping, one needs to prepare offerings to the mountain gods and the land gods. The order of sacrifice is basically the same, the difference is the reasons for the sacrifice (saying something like asking the land to bless the ancestors with peace). This is called breaking ground. The mountain is the home of the mountain god. Burying the ancestors in the cemetery is like people staying overnight at someone else's home, asking the host to take good care of them. Therefore, tomb sweeping has always been a way to offer sacrifices to the mountain god and the land god outside the tomb. 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."
