The emergence of ancestor worship is related to the ancient concept of soul belief. 2. Fasting and offering sacrifices The Lower Yuan Day is also one of the dates for fasting as stipulated in Taoist fasting rules. Taoism believes that all things that require the use of divine power, such as praying for blessings, warding off disasters, relieving suffering, apologizing, seeking immortality, prolonging life, and saving the dead, etc., all require fasting. On this day, Taoist temples hold ceremonies to help people get rid of their troubles and difficulties. People go to the temples to watch and worship the Lower Yuan Water Official and their ancestors. 3. Eat seasonal foods. Dietary customs are an important part of festival customs. Such as eating dumplings during the Spring Festival, eating Yuanxiao during the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., which unify people's festival behaviors and play an important role in the survival and development of festivals. On the day of the Lower Yuan Festival, people make glutinous rice cakes at home and give them to relatives and friends, and steam hemp-fried buns. |
