What are the things to pay attention to during sacrifice?

Correctly choose the specific time suitable for sacrifice <br /> Choose the appropriate time for sacrifice. On the morning of tomb-sweeping day, before washing up, it is best to look in the mirror and check your forehead to see if there is a dark complexion. If so, it means that your luck is low and you should try to avoid tomb-sweeping on that day. If you must go, you can wear jade with you (ancient jade is more effective) to resolve the problem.
Time of sacrifice <br /> The best time for sacrifice is 5-7 o'clock, which is the Yin hour. According to the explanation of Yijing, "Yin" represents Guancao, which means official. "The Origin of Astrology" says: "Yin means to move, and also to leave. When things bud out, they are pulled and stretched, moving out of the ground." At the same time, the Yin hour is before the sun rises at the Mao hour, which is the time when Yin moves to Yang and Yang rises. Therefore, monks and Taoists usually choose this time to practice and perform rituals. People also use this time to worship the dead. It is usually not that early now, but it is best to complete the Qingming mountain-worshiping activities before three o'clock in the afternoon, because the yang energy has gradually subsided and the yin energy has gradually increased. If you are a person with bad luck, it is easy to be haunted or harassed by evil spirits.
Procedure of sacrifice <br /> According to custom, the order of tomb sweeping is to first sweep the tomb and 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. In fact, this is also beneficial for improving your own fortune.
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. Afterwards, people sit together and have a meal and drink; they can also fly kites, or even compete with each other and carry out related activities. Women and children would also pick some willow branches nearby and string the steamed food offerings together with the willow twigs. Some people weave willow branches into a basket shape and wear it on their heads, with the saying "If you don't wear willow branches on Qingming Festival, you will turn into a yellow dog in your next life." That is: repairing the tomb, burning incense, eating and drinking, toasting, worshiping, setting off firecrackers to say farewell, etc.
