What are the taboos in sacrifice?
(1) It is forbidden for women and outsiders to participate in sacrificial ceremonies . Many ethnic groups, such as the Yi, Miao, Nu, Dai, Wa, Hani, Lisu, and Oroqen, have the custom of prohibiting women from participating in sacrificial ceremonies and prohibiting outsiders from entering sacrificial sites.
(2) It is taboo for unclean people to participate in sacrifices to the gods. During Han Chinese sacrifices, it is taboo for unclean people to participate. That is, it is taboo for menstruating women, pregnant women, women who have just given birth, infants, people wearing mourning clothes, and people who have been punished to participate.
(3) Avoid choosing someone of high moral character and prestige to preside over the sacrifice. When offering sacrifices , choose someone of high moral character and prestige who is over 50 years old to preside over the sacrifice. Otherwise, the presiding priest will die immediately due to his young age and will not be able to enjoy such an honor.
(4) Avoid words and actions that may offend the gods during sacrifices. During sacrifices , people should not talk or cough casually, and should not behave in an indecent manner. During the sacrificial period, men and women are not allowed to meet alone, have sexual intercourse, eat meat, etc.
(5) Avoid worshipping gods with gender characteristics, regardless of gender . For example, there is a saying among the people that “men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the kitchen god”. This is because the moon god is a goddess and the kitchen god is a male god. People are afraid that worshipping the gods by men would be a blasphemy.
