There is a custom of ancestor worship during the Winter Solstice, and the time of worship has certain rules and regulations. So, let’s take a look at what are the three things you should not bring when visiting graves during the Winter Solstice? What dishes should be prepared for ancestor worship during the winter solstice? Fantasies about winter include not only the white snow, but also hot pot and so on. Whether you are in the south or the north, you can come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn more about the customs of November in the lunar calendar in 2021.What are the three things you should not bring when visiting graves during the winter solstice?The first thing: Don’t eat fruit in bunchesThere is one thing we need to pay attention to when visiting graves during the winter solstice: bunches of fruits must not be served. The so-called bunches of fruits refer to a bunch of fruits such as grapes. The reason why you cannot offer bunches of fruits when visiting graves is mainly because there is a saying that the dead go with their ancestors in a bunch, which is considered very unlucky, so you cannot offer bunches of fruits when visiting graves. Second: Hollow fruits cannot be served When visiting the graves to pay respect to ancestors during the winter solstice, not only are bunches of fruits not allowed, but hollow fruits are also not allowed, as this is also considered unlucky. The so-called hollow fruits refer to hollow fruits such as Hami melon. Because people believe that bringing hollow fruits to the graves means you have no heart, and offering sacrifices to ancestors requires sincerity, and having no heart means being disrespectful to the ancestors. Therefore, you should not eat hollow fruits. The third thing: Fruits with many seeds cannot be served In addition to bunches of fruits and hollow fruits, fruits with many seeds can also be brought to the grave. The so-called multi-seeded fruits refer to fruits with more seeds such as passion fruit. If you bring fruits with many seeds to visit the grave, it means uncleanness, which is also considered unlucky. Therefore, when visiting graves during the winter solstice, you must not bring bunches of fruits, hollow fruits, or fruits with many seeds. What dishes should be prepared for ancestor worship during the winter solstice?What dishes should be prepared for the winter solstice ancestor worship mainly depends on local customs and habits.In some places, it is necessary to prepare roast pork, roast goose, roast chicken, roast duck, vegetarian wine, fruit, etc. In some places, dishes that the ancestors liked to eat when they were alive are also prepared. There is no exact rule for the dishes prepared for ancestor worship during the winter solstice. It mainly depends on local customs and one's own family conditions. The most important thing is the intention. How to deal with offerings for ancestor worship?The offerings after the sacrifice, including the offerings for fulfilling vows, the remaining wine and meat after the banquet, and raw and cooked food will be distributed fairly among the households. Fruits, dried fruits and sugar will be distributed according to the actual number of people in each household. At the same time, a portion of the food from the banquet at the grave will also be reserved for the elderly and the sick who cannot visit the grave.Different regions have different handling methods. It is recommended to handle it according to local customs and habits. |
