The Cold Clothes Festival is a traditional festival in my country and also the day when people worship their ancestors. So what are the taboos of the Cold Clothes Festival? Let’s find out together. Good things always happen in winter, because people who have worked hard for a year have finally stored up a rich harvest and welcomed the arrival of winter's happy events. The Fortune Teller website will tell you about every day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar.What are the taboos of Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October in the lunar calendar in 2017?Send winter clothes to keep your ancestors warm.It is best to fold the winter clothes by yourself. People who practice Buddhism can recite some scriptures and mantras while folding paper, such as "Nirvana Mantra", "Auspicious Mantra for Eliminating Disasters", "Seven Buddhas' Mantra for Eliminating Sins", "Netherworld Mantra", etc. I pray that our ancestors will be free from suffering and be happy soon. The material can be the paper with folded gold ingots sold in Buddhist supplies stores, or you can use yellow paper. Yuanbao paper is stronger and easier to fold. When cremating, be sure to tell your ancestors, otherwise it will not reach their hands. You can also type a written form, just like the express delivery documents we have today. Forms for sending money are generally sold in Buddhist supply stores. All clothes, paper money, etc. that are burned must be burned thoroughly and turned into ashes. Generally, a small stick is used to stir the mixture until there are no more sparks. It is said that only when they are completely burned and turned into ashes can these banknotes and clothes be used in the underworld. If it is not completely burned, it is useless for the deceased to hold it. Nowadays, many people have left their hometowns. If they cannot go home to visit their ancestors’ graves, they can burn paper money at a crossroads facing the direction of their hometown. Usually, they will draw a circle with chalk and leave a hole facing the direction of their home. It is still very inconvenient at intersections, especially in big cities, so try to choose a place that will not disturb others. Wandering ghosts also need help. While sending winter clothes to relatives, people also burn some colored paper to get rid of the lonely souls who have no one to worship them, so as to prevent them from stealing the property of their ancestors. You can usually buy five-colored paper at a stationery store. When burning it, use a stick to push it outside the circle. Visit the graves to express grief. Other taboos on visiting graves: Taboos when visiting graves <br /> People who are in poor health should not visit graves; the elderly and children should not visit graves; if you encounter something unpleasant on the road, do not visit graves; do not visit graves after dark; do not play games at graves; do not speak disrespectfully at graves; do not relieve yourself at graves; do not look back when leaving. Joint burial allows the deceased ancestors to reunite. Everyone needs a companion. As the saying goes, "Sleeping in the same bed when alive and being buried in the same grave when dead" was once the ancient people's vow for love and marriage. This shows that the ancients regarded sharing the same grave as a symbol of interdependence between life and death. Joint burial has always been very important in folk customs. Even if a person was lonely during his lifetime, his relatives would try their best to find a "ghost relative" for him so that he would no longer be lonely after his death. After a couple dies one after another, if they cannot be buried together at that time, they need to wait until October 1st when they can be buried together. Relocate graves to seek a better resting place for ancestors. For some reasons, graves must be moved, and this can only be done on October 1st and Qingming Festival. For example, if the feng shui of a grave is bad and needs to be improved, or if the grave is forced to be relocated because the land is occupied, it cannot be relocated at will on ordinary days, but must be done on the first day of October. There are many taboos in relocating graves. You cannot just do it casually. You must ask a professional wizard to handle it. Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. There are already many examples around us where families have been broken up and people have died due to improper grave relocation. |
