Analysis of taboos of offering sacrifices during the Xiaoxue solar term in 2018:
(1) Women and outsiders are not allowed to participate in the sacrifice
Many ethnic groups, such as the Yi, Miao, Nu, Dai, Wa, Hani, Lisu, and Oroqen, have the custom of prohibiting women from participating in sacrifices and prohibiting outsiders from entering sacrificial sites.
(2) Avoid having unclean people participate in offering sacrifices to the gods
The Han ethnic group forbids unclean people to participate in sacrifices, that is, menstruating women, pregnant women, postpartum women, infants, people wearing mourning clothes, and people who have been punished.
(3) Avoid choosing a person of high moral character to preside over the ritual.
When performing sacrifices, one must choose a person who is over fifty years old and of high moral character to preside over the ceremony. Otherwise, the presiding priest will die immediately due to his young age and will not be able to enjoy such an honor.
(4) Avoid offending the gods with words or actions during sacrifices
During the sacrifice, people are not allowed to talk or cough casually, and cannot behave in an indecent manner. During the sacrificial period, men and women are not allowed to meet alone, have sexual intercourse, eat meat, etc.
(5) Avoid offering sacrifices to gods with gender characteristics regardless of gender
For example, there is a saying among the people that "men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the kitchen god". This is because the moon god is a goddess and the kitchen god is a male god, so people are afraid that worshipping the opposite sex would blaspheme the gods.
