There are more and more folk sacrificial activities, and many people hope to pray for good luck by burning incense and worshiping gods. So, what should we pay attention to when worshiping gods and Buddhas during the Winter Solstice? What is the importance of the Winter Solstice in the solar terms? The eleventh month of the lunar calendar, also known as mid-winter and the month of Zi, has seen the coolness of autumn fade away and new changes in fortune. Let’s follow Mr. Shui Mo to take a look at the latest fortune information for the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021!What should we pay attention to when worshipping gods and Buddhas during the Winter Solstice?1. If you just worship gods and Buddhas at home during the winter solstice, the most important thing for you to calm your mind is comfort and tranquility. You should choose a quiet and open place, not too cramped or close to dirty places. Do not install it at the bottom of the stairs, under the beams, facing the toilet or door, in the passage, facing the mirror, in the wind, or above, below, left or right of the air conditioner. There should be no roads or other obstacles in front of the altar. If the gods are not at peace, it will also affect the health and luck of the family members and cause unrest in the home. This is generally speaking, but for figures like Guan Shengwu and the God of Wealth, in addition to being pure, calm and free of filth, they are all placed facing the door. One is to attract wealth, the other is to protect the house and keep ghosts and monsters out.2. If you go to the temple to worship gods and Buddhas during the winter solstice, when entering the temple, it is best not to enter through the middle door, but to enter through the side door. Don't step on the threshold, it is better to lift your feet and enter. After entering the temple, you should not walk straight in the center. You should walk along the side of your left arm when moving forward or backward. When entering the hall, you should not place your hat or cane on the Buddhist table or seat. The prayer mat in the center of the main hall is for the master of the temple and should not be used for worship. Instead, you should use the stools on both sides, which are used by men on the left and women on the right. When someone is worshipping, you should not walk in front of their head. 3. Buddhist temples that worship Buddha and Bodhisattvas belong to the metal element. People whose numerology lacks metal are suitable to burn incense and make wishes in Buddhist temples. Taoist temples that worship the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and Taoist Saints belong to the wood element. People whose numerology lacks the wood element can go to Taoist temples to burn incense and make wishes. Temples dedicated to Guan Yu and the God of Fire belong to the element of fire. People whose numerology lacks fire are suitable to burn incense and make wishes in Guan Yu temples and the God of Fire temples. Temples dedicated to Emperor Xuanwu, Dragon King, Sea God, and River God are all related to the water element. People whose numerology lacks water can go to these temples to burn incense and make wishes. Temples dedicated to the land god, mountain god, city god and the five gods belong to the earth element. People whose five elements are lacking in earth in their destiny can go to these local gods to burn incense and make wishes. What is the importance of the Winter Solstice in the solar terms?In ancient China, the Winter Solstice was given great importance and was regarded as a major festival. There was a saying that "The Winter Solstice is as important as New Year's Day", and there was a custom of celebrating the Winter Solstice. The Book of Han says: "During the winter solstice, the Yang energy rises and the emperor's reign is long, so it is celebrated."People believe that after the winter solstice, the days get longer and longer, and the yang energy rises, marking the beginning of a solar term cycle and an auspicious day that should be celebrated. "Book of Jin" records that "On the winter solstice in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the emperor received congratulations from all countries and officials...the ceremony was second only to that of New Year's Day." This shows the importance of the winter solstice in ancient times. People also celebrate the winter solstice as a festival. In the northern regions, there is a custom of slaughtering sheep and eating dumplings and wontons on the winter solstice. In the southern regions, there is a custom of eating ginger rice, winter solstice rice balls and long noodles on this day. In various regions, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors on the day of the winter solstice. In ancient times, people used the weather on the winter solstice and the position of the winter solstice in January to predict future weather. “Dark on the Winter Solstice, sparse on New Year’s Day; sparse on the Winter Solstice, dark on New Year’s Day” means: if it is cloudy on the Winter Solstice, it will be sunny on New Year’s Day; and if it is sunny on the Winter Solstice, it will be cloudy on New Year’s Day or even snow. 2021 Winter Solstice Worship DirectionsGod of Wealth Direction: Due South God of Happiness Direction: Southeast God of Fortune Direction: Due WestAlthough your life's destiny is already determined, you can understand and grasp your future fortune in advance.
