If you want to know, you can come and check it out!What not to do on Double Ninth Festival, analysis of 7 things not to do on Double Ninth Festival!1 The order of tomb sweeping is to sweep the tomb first <br /> That is, clean the cemetery. The second is sacrifice, which is a crucial procedure. First, it is to express grief, and second, it is to communicate with ancestors. Because mountains have spirits but no masters, and ancestors have masters but no spirits, communicating with ancestors can better obtain the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. This is Feng Shui. When sweeping the graves, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of their relatives' graves, burn the paper money, add new soil to the graves, repair the graves, break off a few green branches and insert them on the graves, and put some paper money on top so that others can see that there are still descendants in this grave, and then kowtow and pay their respects.2 Do not laugh, yell, or swear when visiting the graves <br /> Because the graveyard is the home of the Yin spirits, you should not step over the graves and offerings, make loud noises, laugh, yell, use foul language, run around, or urinate anywhere. Doing so is not only disrespectful to your ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby spirits. You are not allowed to trample on other people's graves or comment on the design of the tomb. This will be regarded as blasphemy. If you encounter bad aura, you will be in trouble when you return home. 3. Do not eat food or eat vegetarian food <br /> When you start to visit the graves, it is best not to eat food or eat vegetarian food, and dress neatly to show courtesy and respect to the ancestors. 4. Ancestor worship should be performed in person at the cemetery . However, due to various reasons, many people cannot return to their hometowns to participate in the mountain worship activities, so they can also worship their ancestors at home. The method is to place food for worship on the balcony or in the living room towards the direction of your hometown, burn three incense sticks, bow three times, and silently recite relevant words. Then, paper money is burned as a sacrifice. 5. Don’t say “Happy Holidays” <br /> September 9th is the day when two “extreme yangs” meet, so it is called “Double Ninth Festival”. Yang also means steel. Double Ninth Festival is the "meeting of two steels" which counteract each other, so it is regarded as an "unlucky day". Therefore, in a festival that originally meant to ward off evil, saying "Happy Holidays" seems a bit strange. It would be more appropriate to say "Good health". 6 Avoid sexual intercourse <br /> In some areas, there is a saying that "it is forbidden to sleep together on Double Ninth Festival". They believe that Double Ninth Festival is the limit of Yang numbers, and after that, it will be Yin numbers. If a couple has sex on this day, the yin and yang will be unbalanced, which may easily lead to other disasters and be detrimental to the reproduction of offspring. 7 Things to note <br /> In addition to the above-mentioned taboos, there are also some customs in some areas such as "don't cook on Double Ninth Festival" and "don't let a daughter go back to her parents' home if she is married for less than three years". |
