How to place the ancestral tablets?

How to place the ancestral tablets? Memorial tablets, also known as "God Lord", "God Lord Card" and "God Position". It is to write or carve the names of gods and ancestors on wooden boards, metal plates, cardboard, silk, walls and other objects to symbolize gods or ancestors and make sacrifices. In China's family, the traditional culture lasted for thousands of years, paying attention to the placement of gods and ancestors' memorial tablets. The way the deity is placed in the house is the embodiment of the traditional concept of respecting heaven and god and pursuing the distance with caution. Peace of mind has a great relationship with ancestral tablets, which can not only serve as the spiritual sustenance of the whole family, but also keep the family safe. According to the folk saying, the uneven memorial tablet of gods and ancestors may bring disaster. Today, Dr. Zheng discusses this problem simply and clearly from the perspective of psychology, for the reference of friends only.

First, the general principle of calming nerves and ancestral tablets

To soothe the nerves and worship the ancestors, we must pay attention to the perfect cooperation of the three aspects: time, location, people and people.

The so-called timing is to carefully choose a good day to ascend the throne and ancestral tablets. The appropriate place is to choose an auspicious place in the house, or to be the auspicious place for the master to come to the gods and ancestors. Human harmony is to choose a god who has a sense of fate with you and ask a magical master to do a complete calming ceremony.

Second, the specific methods of calming the nerves

(a), the method of calming the nerves:

1, choose "Cary" or "Fu" as an auspicious day according to the lunar calendar.

Choose Italian annual seating, such as 20 12, which is Italian and western. Therefore, it is best to choose a seat facing east or west. If you have to choose another sitting direction for environmental reasons, then you should install a floating furnace, that is, put a porcelain plate under the incense burner first, and then take it away on an auspicious day next year.

2. Select the auspicious day, auspicious day and lucky day of the person in charge. You can't choose the person in charge and his wife to kill each other, three evils and three punishments, four kills with one blade of an arrow, or turn around and pay tribute to the sun.

It's best to put the shrine in the center of the house, not too far in front or back.

There should be a wall behind the throne, and it should be strong. In addition, the front of the shrine should be clear, not facing the corner, acute angle, telephone pole or other unclean items.

The height of the incense position should be measured with Lu half a foot and positioned with its auspicious characters:

Get the money with Lu half a foot, from beginning to end, starting from the ground, reaching the height of auspicious words. The distance from the cabinet to the opposite door is preferably twice the total height of the cabinet. In addition to auspicious characters, the length of the left and right walls of the cabinet should pay attention to "left dragon and right white tiger", and the right wall (tiger side) should not be too narrow to avoid "forcing the tiger to hurt people". Calm the walls with gold before calming the cabinets.

4, before calming the nerves, you must first load the furnace and wait for the arrival of the gods.

(2), the taboo of calming the nerves:

1, it is best to put the idol in a cabinet or an altar. The cabinet must be placed in the direction of the sun, not behind the window or balcony.

2. Don't put the ark in a narrow space, and don't let God face the wall. The backrest of the cabinet must be firm, can't shake, can't often hit, and it's best to lean against the wall.

3. Don't put the cabinet against the door, bathroom door, kitchen door, back against the bed or toilet or kitchen, and don't put it in the bedroom.

4, cabinets can not be backed by the kitchen, nor can they be placed in the kitchen. Kitchen God is set in the nearest place to the kitchen.

5. The cabinet should not be backed by the toilet or placed in the toilet and bathroom.

6. The taboo of the ark of God is to lift it from the ground without roots and should not be placed on the gate.

7. The display of the god cabinet should be based on the principle of solemnity, conciseness and practicality, and sundries should not be placed casually. The front of the cabinet must be kept clean, and tea, fruits and flowers should be served diligently every day. Clean the shrine with clear water every day, and wipe the front of the shrine clean.

Dr. Zheng specially reminded:

There should be no beam at the top of the incense burner. The furnace position should be in line with the abdomen of the Buddha. If it is too low, it is advisable to wrap the longevity gold in red paper and put it under the furnace.

Ancestor tablets can only be put after the idol, and cannot be reversed. Ancestor tablets cannot be higher than idols; The ancestral fireplace should not be higher than the Buddha's fireplace.

If there are two ancestral tablets in the family, the main surname should be on the left and the deputy surname should be on the right, separated by a seven-inch red line. Don't put speculative things such as gold and copper in the ancestral furnace.

There should be the incense position of God, Buddha and ancestors, not just the incense position of ancestors. Moreover, before the case of God, you can't put drugs, knives, filth and other disrespectful things.

(3) How to install the furnace

Before calming the nerves, you must first load the furnace for the arrival of the gods. The method of installing the furnace is:

(1) The incense burner was first burned with Shoujin.

(2) After burning the spell, put it into the furnace.

(3) Put three coins in a positive and negative form (or twelve coins, one positive and one negative in a circle) on the bottom of the furnace.

(8) For the other three sticks, the first stick stands in the center of the incense burner, the second stick stands on the right side of the first stick, and the third stick stands on the left side of the first stick.

(9) Cross your hands and pray, and sincerely say: "The safe stove is good, the divine light shines, and the home is safe."
