How to place the father's first seven offerings

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, there will be an ox head, a horse face, two ghosts and four ghost soldiers to escort the souls of the deceased and send them back to their lost homes. Seven days ago, I entered the house from windows, chimneys and other places.

On the same day, he walked out of the door. Descendants in the family can place tributes at home for the first seven days. Beef, horse meat and dog meat should be prohibited in the tribute, and the richer the meat, the better.

In this way, we will reward the four ghosts and make it difficult for them to crush people. At the same time, the food that ancestors liked to eat before their death can also be put in tributes and eaten on the road.

At the same time, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, filial piety should put a bowl of water and a bowl of food at the door. Putting clear water means that ancestors can wash away dust, avoid disasters and set their minds at rest. Putting coarse grains means avoiding suffocation, preventing criminals from crying and driving away evil spirits and mildew.

This bowl of clear water and a bowl of grain can be directly sprinkled at the door the next morning, and the grain can be thrown into the long running water on the same day. On the night of the first seven days, the tributes removed from Shihai, together with burning paper and silver tickets, can be burned at the crossroads and fasted.

If someone is confined for the first seven days, this person is not allowed to participate in the first seven sacrifices, otherwise there will be conflicts with the deceased and the accompanying Yin soldiers. If it is an accidental death, people will drag their dreams to their loved ones, some unfinished business, some lost.

Family members who have realized this dream and done things that have been delayed can let them set foot on the road of sweeping graves carefree and never come back.

The "top seven" is no stranger to some elderly people, but not everyone can know the taboos. Sometimes many people break the law without knowing it, which eventually leads to the damage of wealth and health at home.
