Rules and taboos of sacrifice

1 to avoid delaying time sacrifice.

Sacrifice should be timely and punctual. It is a custom to worship ancestors on the anniversary of death or in the season. If the date is a few days earlier, it can be postponed, but it is forbidden to postpone it for three days. Otherwise, the ancestors will be disappointed in their children and grandchildren, and wait for three days and then leave with a sigh. This tone is poor, and the family will be sighed by this tone, so it is either early or late to see God. The method of choosing to worship the sun in the old yellow calendar should be avoided.

2, taboo to eat sacrifices

Fasting here doesn't mean you can't eat. Some sacrifices don't mean you can't eat them, but you can't eat them until the sacrifice is over. In some places, after the sacrifice, the sacrifices will be taken out and put on the banquet to entertain the guests. Sacrifice is not only an important activity in China, but also an important activity for human beings all over the world. Because the living will remember their ancestors in some way, the sacrificial ceremonies have their own characteristics, but the only constant should be the same solemn and heavy mood.

3. Avoid snoring and laughing at will.

The first thing to sacrifice is that your ancestors should have a correct attitude. In solemn and quiet occasions, it is not natural to laugh and play, let alone show disrespect for nature. But if the children go, this phenomenon is a bit inevitable. Children are so natural that they don't understand some rules and principles of adults. Therefore, it is generally not good to take children to such activities, and it is not good to cause trouble to others.
