What are the main places of worship?

flat ground

This is the most primitive and simple place of worship. The ancients thought that the most important place of sacrifice was the simplest, and it was often unnecessary to seal the soil to make an altar, just sweeping a flat land to sacrifice. The ancients called it a mound. The Book of Rites says: worship the altar, sweep the floor and offer sacrifices. "The Book of Rites Sacrifice Law" says: Except the ground, it is a hill.

sacrificial altar

Note in the Book of Rites Sacrifice Law: The earth is sealed as an altar, that is, the earth and stones are piled up into an altar higher than the ground. Altars have different shapes because of different sacrificial objects. The circular altar used to worship heaven in ancient times was called dome; Square altar is used to worship the earth, which was called Fangshan in ancient times. The height and width of the altar vary with time, place and grade. Tanks and pagodas are usually located in the suburbs and occasionally in the mountains. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Zen ceremony was to seal the earth at the top of Mount Tai as an altar to worship heaven, which was called sealing. Sweeping the floor in Fuliangshan as a sacrifice is called Zen. Together, it is called meditation.

Pingkeng

It is to dig a big flat pit on the ground as an altar, which the ancients called a ridge. The Book of Rites Sacrifice Law says: Digging the ground is a hurdle. "The Book of Rites Sacrifices Righteousness" says: Sacrifice the sun to the altar and the moon to the spine. The altar is opposite to the ridge, the altar rises to yang, and the ridge sinks to yin.

Gongmiao

Build a wall and a house on the basis of an altar or coffin, and it becomes a palace; After the sacrificial offerings were displayed in the palace, they became temples. Palace temples were originally built only for human beings. Later, many gods had temples, such as Land Temple, Longwang Temple, City God Temple and so on. However, it is not allowed to build houses on social shrines, otherwise it will be regarded as a society that has lost its country.

grave

Sacrificing to the gods in the cemetery is a primitive and simple method, which is often used to sacrifice ancestors. The ancients believed that the ancestor god could hear the sacrifice to the tomb closest to the ancestor. "Book of Rites Tan Gong Xia" records that when Confucius traveled abroad, he went to the country and cried at the tomb. When he returned to China, he did not cry, but opened the tomb.

Online sacrifice

In modern life, due to the deterioration of the environment, traditional sacrifices began to develop into online sacrifices, and civilized sacrifices and flower sacrifices became popular.
