How to worship the western gods?

China people attach great importance to China's New Year and hold many activities for the study of China's New Year. In ancient times, the Han nationality had the custom of offering sacrifices to the western gods in the New Year. The Yangtze River valley attaches great importance to offering sacrifices to the auspicious god. On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, people will worship their ancestors and other important gods before offering sacrifices to western gods. Sacrifice to the western gods is grand and serious. People should dress neatly, check the almanac in advance, open the door by themselves, carry lanterns, and walk respectfully to the direction of the arrival of the Western God and set off firecrackers along the way according to the direction of the arrival of the Western God this year. This is a ceremony to welcome the western gods. When you meet people or animals on the way to XiShen, you should burn incense, set off firecrackers and worship.

Some people think that the first day of the first month, just before dawn, the place where chickens crow is the direction of the arrival of the Western God. You can meet the western gods. It is not certain whether you can meet the Western God, because the Western God knows you, and you may not know the Western God.
