What are the taboos in sacrifice?
(1) Women and outsiders are prohibited from participating in sacrifices <br /> 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) It is forbidden to have unclean people participate in sacrifices to the gods <br /> Han people forbid unclean people to participate in sacrifices, that is, it is forbidden for menstruating women, pregnant women, women who have just given birth, infants, people wearing mourning clothes, and people who have been punished to participate.
(3) Avoid choosing a person of high moral character to preside over the sacrifice .<br /> When performing sacrifices, one must choose a person of high moral character who is over fifty years old to preside over the sacrifice. Otherwise, the person presiding over the sacrifice will die immediately due to his young age and lack of the blessing to enjoy such an honor.
(4) Avoid words and actions that offend the gods during sacrifices <br /> During sacrifices, people cannot 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 worshipping 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 gods by the opposite sex would be a blasphemy.
