So what are we going to do on this day?1. Pray to the gods. Judging from the evolution of the content and objects of sacrifice, the Lower Yuan Festival has incorporated many sacrificial customs in agricultural production, making it an agricultural festival for worshiping gods, praying against disasters and praying for a good harvest. 2. Enjoy and offer sacrifices to ancestors. Ancestor worship is a reflection of ancestral belief and is also a way to pray for the ancestors to bless future generations. 3. Eat seasonal foods. On the day of Xiayuan, villagers make glutinous rice cakes at home and give them to relatives and friends, and steam hemp-flavored buns, etc. It was also the happiest day for rural children in the past, as they could eat many fruits and foods called "Fu Yu" after sacrifices. 4. Perform vegetarian and sacrificial ceremonies. The Lower Yuan Day is one of the dates for fasting as stipulated in Taoist fasting rules. The methods of practicing fasting can be roughly divided into two categories: one category has roughly three types: one is setting up fasting with offerings, two is fasting with a limited diet, and three is fasting with a strong heart. |
