According to the lunar calendar, we know that we can go to offer sacrifices on March 26th of the lunar calendar in 2018. What are the taboos in sacrifice?The Han people prohibit any unclean person from participating in sacrifices. The fact that women are not allowed to participate in ancestor worship is a reflection of the low status of women in the death culture in the old society. Folk customs believe that if unclean people are allowed to participate in the worship, the sincerity and effectiveness of the worship will inevitably be lost. In addition, when offering sacrifices to ancestors, you should never ask others to do it for you. You should not delegate the work to other people. Only when you offer sacrifices to the ancestors in person will the ancestors happily enjoy the offerings.Taboos during sacrificial rituals: When burning paper at the grave, you cannot use a stick to stir the paper money, for fear of breaking it into pieces and making it difficult for the ancestors to use it. If half of the paper money is burned and the remaining half is not completely burned, it is taboo to throw it back into the fire. It is also said that this half is called the "descendants' board" and can only be kept and cannot be burned, otherwise, the descendants will be extinct. When you go to the grave to burn paper, you must concentrate and not be distracted by other things. Otherwise the ghost paper will not reach the hands of the ancestors. When visiting the grave of a newly buried person for the first time to offer sacrifices, one must walk around the grave three times. When returning home, one must return home by other roads. It is forbidden to take the same road one came from. It is said that this is to prevent the spirits of the deceased from leaving the grave and returning home with the filial sons. People's desire to respect their ancestors is completely in the form of respecting people without being expressed. If a certain behavior is disrespectful to the living, then this behavior cannot be applied to the dead during the sacrificial ceremony. Taboos on sacrificial gifts: If the sacrificial gifts are brought by daughters, all of them must be kept, and it is taboo to return part of them. During funerals and sacrifices, if there are Buddhist monks, Taoist priests, nuns and the like, part of the sacrificial gifts must be shared with them. Generally, only eight or six offerings can be placed; it is taboo to place five or four. This is because if five of the following are used, a "disobedient fetus" will be born; and if four of the following are used, a "beggar" will be born, both of which are disrespectful to the ancestral spirits. The offerings should be fresh, clean and complete. The meat of deformed animals and birds that were not killed by nails is considered unclean and cannot be used to sacrifice to the souls of the dead. Otherwise, the soul will think that the sacrifice is an insult to it. Food used as a sacrifice to the dead must not have been eaten by humans before the sacrifice.
