How to write the writing format of burning baggage on Cold Clothes Festival?

Every year, the first day of the 10th lunar month is the traditional Cold Clothes Festival in China. People are afraid that the ancestors of the underworld will lack clothes and wear less in winter, so on this day, incense, paper money, food and so on. It is called "sending cold clothes" to the dead and burning mourning clothes. In some areas, it will be changed to a "burning bag", sealed in a paper bag, with the name of the recipient written on the cover and burned to the dead. Then, how to write the burning baggage on the Cold Clothes Festival, and what is the writing format of the burning baggage, let Lao Huangli introduce it to you.

Burning luggage on Hanyi Festival

Burning buns, also known as burning buns, is a form of folk sacrifice to ancestors in China. Whenever Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Cold Clothes Festival are held, most people burn paper on the graves of their deceased relatives to show "respect for time". However, for some reasons, some people can't go to the grave, so they will burn bags instead.

Baggage is usually a big paper bag, one foot long and one foot five inches wide. Su Bao's wrapping paper is all white, but there is a blue sign in the middle with the name of the deceased written on it. The cover of the flower bag is a single ink line pattern printed on a large white paper or red paper pocket, and the Sanskrit transliteration of the past sacred spell is surrounded by a black frame. There is a lotus memorial tablet printed in the middle, which is used to fill in the name of the deceased.

There is a "Bao Shouyi" on the upper right of the memorial tablet, and the words "Wuzi Qingming" and "Zhou Nianji" can be filled in below according to the situation. On the lower left is the place to fill in the names of worshippers, and there are also two little people in ancient costumes, which are said to be from the Sui Dynasty and Zuo.

Each envelope has a four-inch square stamp of "Guo Ming Post" printed in woodcut ink. Put the money and clothes on the back of the bag.

Luggage writing format

The front is divided into four lines arranged vertically from right to left, and the writing formats for ancestors are: "cold clothes wrapped in XX bags", "presented", "old ancestors tested XX subjects" and "great-grandson XX sacrifices" in turn.

If your son is alive, he is the main name and signature when writing luggage. That is to say, in turn, write "cold clothes wrapped in XX bags", "Sacrifice", "Therefore, XX male, XX eldest brother should take the exam" and "XX male leads his grandson XX great-grandson XX to worship". Write the word "sealed" on the back of the package. If you can't go to the grave for sacrifice, burn the baggage somewhere else, then give some of the baggage to Lifu, and write the word "Lifu" on the front of the baggage.

There is only one word written on the back of the package: "seal", cursive, which means folding paper to sew and seal. Don't let others take it away while posting. There is a saying that in addition to writing the word "seal" on the back of luggage, the place of death should also be written, which is similar to the postal service in details, but no specific house number is needed.

The title of burning luggage

For example, write a burden to the late father:

Send money in cold clothes

So it is obvious that a government is afraid of XX boss.

Enjoy under the soul

Japanese modernization

Child XX, XX

Sun XX

Wife xx xx

If you are writing a package for your late mother, the middle line will be changed to "I feel sorry for an old man and a woman in a house".

In the upper right corner, "Cold clothes to send money" tells the reason and time of sending money by burning bags. People have just died, and in the past, burning bags meant sending money in coffins; On the first day of the first month, the fifth day of May, the fifteenth day of July, the fifteenth day of August, and the first day of October, we burned bags and made money for New Year's Day, Duanyang Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and cold clothes respectively.

The middle line is the main part of the package, indicating the title and name of the recipient. "Therefore" means death. "Excellent in exams" and "excellent" are honorifics for parents, and it doesn't matter whether parents are always "excellent". If grandchildren send money to their ancestors, they should write "Xian Zukao" and "Xian Zucong".

"A certain family" means a certain family's business. "taboo" should be moved half a word to the right, and the names of the older generation should not be said or written casually. The man went on to write taboos. A woman can write her last name, not her first name. Some families are grandmothers, and women have no scientific names, only nicknames. Children may not know their mothers' nicknames.

"Old man" and "old woman" became honorifics again. It is fair to call people "adults" and "children" regardless of their status before their death. The value orientation of the underworld and the dead is different. Beggars may ascend to heaven after death, and princes and ministers may go to hell after death.

"Useful under the soul" makes people see the younger generation kneeling in front of the soul of the deceased, holding money high above their heads with both hands and presenting it dutifully.

It seems that the inscription is a list of names of future generations, but it is not simple. A man's spouse can only write his surname, even if he has a famous surname. Unmarried daughters and granddaughters can write their own names, but when they get married, they can't write any more.

Along with a lot of luggage sent to the recipients, people will write one or two special pieces of luggage, with the words "lonely soul of the website owner" written in the middle of the front and "benefit from the soul" written on the right.
