What preparations are needed for sacrifice?

First, prepare the incense. Incense is like the signal we dial with our mobile phones. Once the incense is lit, the ancestors know that their descendants have come to worship them.
Second, prepare fruits. Since the cemetery can take care of us for five generations, it is best to get five kinds of fruits. If it is really inconvenient, just take one and don't be lazy.
Third, prepare the pastries. Fruits represent Yin and pastries represent Yang. When offering sacrifices to ancestors, fruits and pastries are usually prepared. Offering meat as a sacrifice to ancestors at their graves is only a custom in some places. In the past, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth required three animals and five livestock, which were considered sacred. Our ancestors did not reach the merits of heaven and earth, nor did they have the same blessings as heaven and earth, so offering meat or blood is disrespectful to our ancestors.
Fourth, prepare paper money. Hemp money paper. This is very orthodox. Things like ghost money and Tianditong Bank are all made by scammers. Just like counterfeit banknotes, burning this kind of money in the cemetery will desecrate your ancestors.
