Can I visit the graves and worship my ancestors on the 13th day of the first lunar month? Is it a bad idea?
Visiting graves to pay homage to ancestors is a way to remember and respect ancestors, but it is not suitable at all times. Especially during the Spring Festival, we need to be more careful. Can we visit graves to pay homage to ancestors on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month? Are there any taboos? For more details about the 2018 Lunar New Year calendar, please visit the Fortune Teller website for consultation!Can I visit the graves and worship my ancestors on the 13th day of the first lunar month? Is it a bad idea?Oh no, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is Yang Gong’s death anniversary. This day is not suitable for sacrificial activities. If you want to visit the grave, it is recommended to postpone it for a few days!What are the taboos in ancestor worship during the Spring Festival?1. If you have the conditions to go to the cemetery to worship your ancestors, the best time is the morning of New Year's Eve. Some people are accustomed to offering sacrifices to their ancestors a few days in advance, with the idea of sending money and offerings to the ancestors as early as possible. This is incorrect, the spiritual world only gives the spirits a holiday on New Year's Eve, so that they can collect money and enjoy offerings. Worshiping the dead early is equivalent to preparing the banquet in advance, but when the guests arrive the food and wine will have gone cold. Things must be done to the point to be effective. If you cannot go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, you can burn some paper money at the crossroads on New Year's Eve. Remember to write the burial address of your ancestors on the paper money, and just write the address where the paper is burned at the end. Before burning paper, draw a circle on the ground with a wooden stick and burn the paper money inside the circle to prevent it from being snatched away by other ghosts. When burning paper, throw a few pieces outside the circle to drive away external ghosts.2. Worship procedures. First, you should place offerings, wine, and light incense; after the incense has died down, you can burn paper money. After the paper money has burned, set off firecrackers around the tomb. Do not set off firecrackers where offerings are placed or on top of the tomb. Some people like to offer offerings, burn paper, and set off firecrackers at the same time. This is not allowed, and the offerings will be in vain. The ancestors had no time to collect money while enjoying the offerings. When they tried to collect the money, the food was snatched away. Some were blown away by firecrackers as soon as they reached out to take the money. As a result, they neither enjoyed the food nor got the money. Personally, I do not approve of setting off firecrackers. Just like when we are taking a break, we don’t like to be suddenly disturbed by the sound of firecrackers. The same is true for Schering. 3. If possible, offer sacrifices to your ancestors before eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, and send them home on the fifth day of the New Year, which means sending them back to the grave. In some places, people send off their ancestors after the Lantern Festival, or on the third day of the New Year. When the ancestors are at home celebrating the New Year, people are forbidden to scold children, because scolding children will involve the ancestors. After the New Year's Eve dumplings are cooked, the first plate is placed in front of the ancestral tablets, wine is poured on them, incense is lit, and firecrackers are set off outside the house. This is called welcoming the gods. In rural bungalows, a bonfire is usually lit in the yard and an altar is set up to welcome the gods. 4. On the morning of the third day of the New Year, light three pieces of yellow paper and send them out of the room with fire. This is to send off the gods and ancestors back to their hometown in the cemetery. |
