May 2023 is a suitable day for sacrifice.

The best auspicious days for sacrifice in May are: Xinsi on May 1, Renshen on May 4, Jiazi on May 6, Wu Jiari on May 1 1, and WuShen on May 14.

May is between the long summer and the short full solar terms in the traditional solar terms in China. In this solar term, the temperature rises obviously, and the time sequence enters summer, which is a good time for sacrifice. However, some days in May are taboo days and are not suitable for sacrifice. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the choice of the day of sacrifice.

The significance of offering sacrifices on different dates is introduced: the new fourth day means auspiciousness and is suitable for offering sacrifices to pray for peace and the well-being of future generations. Ren Shenri means eager to learn, suitable for offering sacrifices and praying for academic progress and career success. Jiazi Festival means good luck and is suitable for offering sacrifices to pray for family harmony, conjugal love and prosperity.

Wu Festival means good weather, suitable for sacrifice, praying for a bumper harvest, a smooth journey and good health. Pentecost, which means peace and harmony, is suitable for offering sacrifices to pray for family harmony, exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters.

Sacrifice common sense

1, choose a day to sweep.

Try to avoid weekends or other peak grave-sweeping hours, because there are more and more private cars during peak hours, which will bring trouble to travel because of traffic congestion. You can choose to take various public transport, or lengthen the grave sweeping time (leaving early and returning late) or stagger the key time periods to alleviate the pressure brought by more people and vehicles on road traffic.

2, inventory at any time

Whether you arrive at the sacrifice site or leave, you should form a good habit of counting your belongings to avoid unintentional loss of valuables. Collective sacrifice should always count the number of people, especially those with children. Parents should take good care of their children to prevent them from getting lost in play.

Step 3 pay attention to safety

When burning paper money and placing offerings, pay attention to fire prevention, ensure safety, bring your own belongings as much as possible, and avoid buying vendors selling utensils near the sacrifice site. If you have to buy it because it is inconvenient to carry, you should prepare the change in advance, put a small amount of cash in the jacket pocket that is convenient to take out, and put a large amount of cash in it to avoid being pickpocketed by thieves.
