Things to note when praying:
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.
4. It is best for women not to worship during their menstrual period.
When is the Great Cold in 2019?
Sunday, January 20, 2019 (the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month in the Year of the Dog, 5 days away from the Great Cold of 2019)
As the saying goes: "Flowers and trees indicate the seasons, and birds' singing heralds the farming season." Flowers, trees, birds, animals and other animals all move according to the seasons, so their regular movements are seen as an important symbol for distinguishing the seasons. In ancient China, the Great Cold was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when chickens lay eggs; the second stage is when migratory birds fly fast; the third stage is when the bellies of fish in marshes become hard." This means that chicks can be hatched during the Great Cold. During the last five days of the year, the ice in the water freezes all the way to the center and is the strongest and thickest, so children can enjoy skating on the river (this activity is only allowed when the average daily temperature remains below -5℃ for several consecutive days, and this activity usually occurs in the area north of the Yellow River). In addition, the flower signs during the Great Cold are "the first sign is Daphne odora, the second sign is orchid, and the third sign is Alum (grown in the south of the Yangtze River)". It can also be used as an important indicator to judge the Great Cold.
