Is the 21st day of the first lunar month in 2018 suitable for offering sacrifices? What are the things to note when performing sacrifices?
In China's funeral and sacrificial activities, people have designed many taboos and regulations in order to achieve the effect and purpose of the sacrifice. These taboos and rules cannot be violated, otherwise it is believed that it will offend the ancestral spirits, and the ancestral spirits will bring disaster to the performers. If you want to know more about the first month of the lunar calendar in 2018, please pay attention to our fortune teller website!Is the 21st day of the first lunar month in 2018 suitable for offering sacrifices?Lunar calendar year 2018, January 21st (Lunar calendar)March 8, 2018, Thursday, Pisces (Gregorian calendar) 【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】 Accepting marriage proposals, marrying, recruiting sons-in-law, opening the market, entering the house, offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, moving, building, signing contracts, acquiring financial connections, building houses, attending school, tailoring clothes, seeking wealth, traveling, planting, buying property, seeking medical treatment.

Auspicious gods to follow: Qilin Day, Bujiang, Liuhe, Mucang, Shengxin, Wufu. Evil spirits to avoid: Bazuo, Daozhen, Gouchen, Hekui, Tujin. By checking the almanac, we found that there is no "sacrifice" in the "what to do today", so the 21st day of the first lunar month in 2018 is a good day for sacrifice; What should we pay attention to during sacrifice?1. Bath and fast the day before: appreciate the love of your family and imagine their voice and appearance.Bathing and fasting means to purify the body (bathing) and the mind (fasting). Only in this way can we communicate with the souls of our ancestors. Fasting does not necessarily require meditation. During the day, as long as you do not move randomly when walking, standing, sitting or lying down, and do not speak bad words, it will be fine. If you have nothing to do at night, whether you are walking, standing, sitting or lying down, you can imagine the voice, appearance and smile of your deceased ancestors (you can also imagine their photos) and express your gratitude for their care and nurturing. 2. When offering sacrifices to wooden tablets , the souls of ancestors cannot be without support. It would be best if there is a tablet; if not, you can also offer sacrifices in front of the portrait. If there is no portrait, you can temporarily write "the spirit tablet of so-and-so" on a piece of paper. 3. Offer sacrifices yourself. The sacrifices do not have to be complicated, but they must be embodied with sincerity and filial piety. As a son, the most filial offering is the dishes that your ancestors loved most when they were alive. Be careful when offering sacrifices. After the offering is completed, you should wait for a while in front of the tablet, imagining that your ancestors are enjoying the offerings, and you cannot leave immediately. The same should be done when pouring wine. 4. Kneeling: It is only natural to treat deceased relatives with the highest respect of the Chinese people. Therefore, one should kneel before the grave of a deceased relative and not just bow hastily. 5. Tomb Talk: Chatting in front of the tomb, treating the deceased as if they were still alive If you pay homage at the tomb, you should communicate with the ancestors in the spirit of "dead as if they were still alive". You may introduce your own family situation and plans in front of the tomb, because these are the things that the ancestors must have wanted to know when they were alive. 6. Removing the food and distributing the blessings: After the sacrifice is completed, the offerings should be removed and taken home to be enjoyed. It should not be thrown in a cemetery, nor thrown away after returning home. Because when we place the offerings in front of the tomb, the souls of the deceased have already enjoyed them (just smelling the fragrance), and these offerings become "blessings." If you throw it away (whether in the cemetery or at home), it means you are rejecting the "blessing" bestowed by your deceased relatives. If you have many brothers, you should share with everyone. You cannot keep it all to yourself, nor can you refuse it. |
