The ancients believed that the first day of October was the first day of the cold winter season. "The Book of Songs·Binfeng·July" mentioned "The fireflies fly in July, and clothes are given in September." In order to prevent their ancestors from suffering from the cold in the underworld, on this day, people would burn colored paper to send them warm clothes and also to comfort the lonely ghosts.

You cannot offer sacrifices to people who died suddenly (people who died unexpectedly).2. Worship in the ancestral hall or in front of the tablet. The heavenly souls here can be communicated with at any time, no matter in the morning or evening. 3. If there is no ancestral hall or tablet, and you have to go to a deserted intersection (or roadside) and communicate with the heavenly soul only at night, then worship should only be done at night. 4. There are not many other procedures when worshiping in the ancestral hall or in front of the tablet. You just need to light three incense sticks, call on the ancestors while burning paper and make a wish to protect your family. 5. Draw a circle on the ground that is not closed but has a small opening, so that the ancestors can receive the blessings of worship; 6. First, burn some paper outside the circle to reward the five directions of the land and the void; 7. Burn paper in the circle, asking the land and the void to pass on these blessings to the ancestors; 8. When burning paper, you can make a wish to your ancestors for blessings. |
