The correct method of ancestor worship

The correct methods of ancestor worship include preparing articles, burning incense, burning paper, cleaning the environment, and handling sacrifices.

1, commodity preparation

Prepare incense, incense is like a signal that we pull out with our mobile phones. If it smells better, the ancestors will know that the descendants have come to sacrifice.

Prepare fruits. Since the cemetery can manage our five generations, it's best to bring five kinds of fruits. It's really inconvenient. Just take one. Don't be lazy.

Prepare cakes, fruits represent yin and cakes represent yang. Generally, fruit and cakes should be prepared for ancestor worship. Sacrificing ancestors to eat meat is just a custom in some places. In the past, it took three beasts and five beasts to sacrifice heaven and earth, which was more sacred.

2. Incense

First, you have to put on three sticks of incense. The first incense, if you want to be surnamed Wang, say that Wang's ancestors are widely smoked and come to enjoy the sacrifice. The whole family name has been listed in the past dynasties. The second wick fragrance is the main fragrance. If it is grandparents who are sacrificed, you can say, Grandpa and Grandma, today is your Festival, and you are warmly invited to enjoy the sacrifice.

The third wick incense represents the beginning of the family. If many grandchildren and sons are outside and don't come back, they will say that they are very busy at work and really can't come. Don't take it personally. I will take their place. You can mention the names of people who should come to sacrifice and pray for ancestors to bless them to work smoothly, walk smoothly and be safe all year round.

Step 3 burn paper

I started to burn paper respectfully, thinking about all the kindness of my ancestors.

4. Clean environment

Clean up weeds and dirt around the cemetery. Take all the plastic bags and things like that with you when you leave.

Step 5 deal with sacrifice

After the fruits and cakes are supplied, pinch a little residue with your fingers and sprinkle it on the grave. Never throw it in the cemetery at will. It's called wasting your happiness. After fruit and cake are served to ancestors, it is best to share them. If there are many people, everyone will take some back. Of course, customs vary greatly from place to place.
