1, choose a place to burn paper, and the customs of each place are different. Some places will put a brazier at the door for ancestors to burn, and some places will burn paper outside or at intersections. It is said that the money for burning paper at the intersection can reach the underworld, and it is said that people under the paper will receive it soon. 2, before burning paper money, take out a few pieces and burn them to ghosts, so that they don't go to the enclosure. 3. After choosing the place to burn paper, it is best to clean the ground before burning. When drawing a circle around the paddock, one person should draw a circle. When you draw a circle, you should read the names of your loved ones and attach the paper money we burned. However, this circle cannot be drawn as a solid circle. Remember to leave an opening in the southwest. Besides burning paper money in the circle, we'd better burn some paper outside the circle. In traditional geomantic omen, this is the best way to appease ghosts. In this case, not only will they not bring you trouble, but they will bless you. When burning paper, you can't put all the paper money in at once. You should put the paper money one by one or two or three, let it burn in your hand and then throw it out. In the process of burning paper, you must recite what you want to say to your loved ones, and at the same time, whether you are squatting or kneeling, you must express your thoughts for your loved ones. 5. If there is wind during combustion, leave him alone. If there is no fire in the circle, stir it up with a wooden stick, otherwise the relatives will not be able to collect it completely, and the wind will blow it away to take it away. When paper money burns, we usually stir it gently with a stick to make it burn fully, but the rotation range must not be too large, and it is best to burn it as a whole, and the denomination of the burnt paper money is moderate, neither too large nor too small, otherwise the bottom will not change. 6. When the wind is strong, you must burn more around. If it is too big, it is recommended to change places, there are too many ghosts robbing money; After the sacrificial wine (water) is burned, it is thrown out of the circle. This is called breaking up.
Of course, some taboos are more important when burning paper, especially the following taboos. Don't make them! First, don't step on paper dust with your feet. Whether you burn paper money yourself or paper ashes left by others after burning, you can cross or bypass it, but don't step on it with your feet, which will affect your fortune. Second, don't take pictures. Nowadays, many people like to take photos and send them online everywhere. At such a solemn moment of ancestor worship, it is recommended not to take pictures. On the one hand, it is respect for ancestors, and it is also the embodiment of personal quality and cultivation. Third, don't pick up money without owners on the roadside. When you are burning paper outside, if you see money dropped on the ground on the road, don't reach for it. For Yin Qi, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly "robbing money" with them, which is easy to bring disaster. Fourth, don't chat and say hello to each other. When burning paper, you can read the title of ancestors lightly, but don't greet people around you casually, and don't talk too much about yourself and your family, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to yourself and your family. Fifth, we must pay attention to fire prevention. It is very important to pay homage to our loved ones, but we must be careful to cause unnecessary forest fires.
