1. Clothing must be modest, never too revealing or strange, and it is not appropriate to wear slippers or a hat into a temple. These are basic respects for the gods.
2. Avoid loud noises. Although each temple worships different gods, they all hope to purify people's hearts, so your words and actions must be gentle.
3. Prepare 3-5 offerings such as seasonal fruits and biscuits, but they must be odd numbers (because odd numbers are yang numbers). You can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.
Fruits suitable for worship: apples, peaches, plums, dates, grapefruits, pomeloes, oranges, etc.
Fruits that cannot be offered for worship: tomatoes, guavas, sugar apples, and durian.
Special attention:
1. After attending a funeral or farewell ceremony, you can go to the temple on the same day to remove the bad energy from your body.
2. People with deceased third-degree relatives must wait 49 days before visiting the temple to worship. Otherwise, entering the temple in mourning clothes may violate taboos.
3. The mother must complete the confinement period before she can go to worship.

What can’t you do on the first day of the Spring Festival?

On the first day of the Spring Festival, avoid using knives, scissors, needles and thread.
As the saying goes, "If you use knives and scissors on the first day of the New Year, quarrels and disputes are inevitable. If you use needles and thread on the first day of the New Year, you will pick dragon tendons and get needle eyes (meaning that the child will be born with eyes as small as a needle eye)", so people who are particular about this usually wrap up knives, scissors, needles and thread on the night of the 30th.
On the morning of the first day of the Spring Festival, it is taboo to wake people up by calling their names.
On the morning of the first day of the New Year, it is taboo to wake someone up by calling their name. This is to prevent the other party from being urged to do things all year round. You should get up early on the first morning of the New Year. Avoid wishing a happy new year to someone who is still sleeping. Wait until the person wakes up before wishing a happy new year, otherwise the person will be bedridden for the whole year.
Avoid washing clothes or getting a haircut on the first day of the Spring Festival.
The birthday of the Water God is on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, so don’t do laundry on those days to avoid disturbing the Water God. You can’t shave your head or get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year.
Avoid sweeping and taking a nap on the first day of the Spring Festival <br /> It is said that the first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the broom.
