What is the ritual of sacrifice?

First, on the graves of ancestors, offerings such as meals, bowls and chopsticks, wine glasses, tea, etc. are arranged, and then three incense sticks are lit in front of the graves.

Second, pour the wine for the first time after inserting incense. After about 30 minutes or half burning, one person can light three sticks of incense for the second time and pour the wine for the second time.

Third, when the incense burns to half a column, offer an offering to the land god who is in charge of the tomb, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors.

When four or three incense sticks are burned out, take away the offerings and leave some money and things to burn on other graves, so as to prevent other ghosts from grabbing money and clothes on ancestors' graves after the grave sweepers leave.

Matters needing attention in grave-sweeping and ancestor worship

First, around the cemetery, don't play around and run around. This is not only rude, but also disrespectful to our ancestors.

Second, don't wear clothes with too bright colors, such as red and purple, preferably black or white. Pregnant women, patients and children under 7 years old are advised not to sweep graves.

Third, what do you usually say when offering sacrifices: what to do in the cemetery, why to do it, and hope that the ancestors will bless you, smooth sailing, rich financial resources, peace and health.
