There are four aspects to the meaning of burning incense:
1. To show sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, and to demonstrate and guide sentient beings.
2. It means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Treasures in all directions.
3. It means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions.
4. It means that the Buddhists' precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and extinguish greed, noise and ignorance". The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples.
It is best to burn three incense sticks. This represents the three non-leakage studies of precepts, concentration and wisdom; it also represents the offerings to the permanent Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This is the most complete and civilized way of burning incense and offering. It is not the number of incense sticks you burn that matters, but the sincerity of your heart. As the saying goes, "Burn three civilized incense sticks and offer a sincere heart." Generally, it is enough to light three incense sticks in front of the main hall.
After lighting the incense, they should be inserted in the middle of the incense burner. The first incense stick should be inserted in the middle, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Buddha, awakening and not being confused; the second incense stick should be inserted on the right, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Dharma, being righteous and not evil; the third incense stick should be inserted on the left, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the monks, being pure and not being tainted.
Why is the seventh day of the first lunar month called Renri?
The seventh day of the first lunar month is said to be the birthday of mankind. People used to call this day "Renri", "Renri Festival" or "Rensheng Festival". Folklore experts said that "Renri" reflects the desire of the ancient Chinese working people to pray for good luck and peace, as well as their respect for "human beings" themselves.
As an ancient festival, "Renri" has a history of at least 2,000 years in my country.

"Renri", as one of the ancient festivals, appeared before the Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Nüwa created the world for the first time. After creating animals such as chickens, dogs, pigs, cows, horses, etc., she created humans on the seventh day. So this day is mankind’s birthday. Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty clearly recorded it in "The Book of Divination" that according to the old custom, from the first to the eighth day of the first lunar month, each day was occupied by an object, in order: the first day was chicken, the second day was dog, the third day was pig, the fourth day was sheep, the fifth day was cattle, the sixth day was horse, the seventh day was human, and the eighth day was grain. Naturally, the seventh day of the first lunar month became an important day for people, namely the "Human Day Festival". The Book of Northern Qi, Biography of Wei Shou, also records: "On New Year's Day, paint a chicken on the door; on the seventh day, post a person on the tent." This refers to the Spring Festival customs during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. On the first day of the first lunar month, people would post or paint pictures of chickens on the door; on the seventh day of the first lunar month, people would post pictures of people on the tent, which was said to keep the family safe.
