20 12 Tomb-Sweeping Day Sacrifice Introduction

Buried in the clouds: people accept their parents. The skeleton is angry and the body needs to be disposed of. If you feel angry, you will be blessed by ghosts.

Friends I know, when it comes to Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping, experts from Yi Shengyuan's team will suggest that we must pay homage to our ancestors' graves on Qingming Day. Why? Because this day is the proper channel for the younger generation and ancestors, that is, people and ghosts to communicate, so this day must go to the grave. This is not only a question of filial piety and remembering the elders, but also the only way for you to get the blessings of your ancestors.

So even if we fly back and die, we feel it is worth it.

2, the process of sacrifice:

According to the custom, when sweeping graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people should bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, break some green branches and put them in front of the graves, then kowtow and worship, and finally go home after eating the food.

Facing the graves of ancestors, we should first clean up weeds, add some clean loose soil, sweep away debris in front of graves and clean up tombstones. Let the whole cemetery look brand-new, look fuller, meditate in your heart, and hope that the ancestors under Jiuquan will bless future generations with wealth and splendor. If the cemetery is at home or far away, these soil-adding jobs can be entrusted to relatives to finish in advance.

The order of offering sacrifices to sweep the grave is to sweep the grave first, that is, to clean the cemetery. Secondly, sacrifice, this procedure is very important, one is mourning, and the other is feeling with ancestors, because mountains have spirits without owners, and ancestors have masters without spirits, and feeling with ancestors can get better returns. Namely: modify the cemetery-burn incense-eat meat-toast-sacrifice-shoot off.

3. Probably in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

There is a folk saying that "it is clear in the morning and eleven o'clock in the evening", that is, Tomb-Sweeping Day should burn paper sooner rather than later. I often hear people of the older generation say that "the sooner the ancestors are sacrificed on Qingming Day, the better". Tomb-Sweeping Day is the best time to worship ancestors. Then why do you say that? According to legend, Tomb-Sweeping Day is the day when the underworld "collects ghosts". Around noon in Tomb-Sweeping Day, when the ghost comes back, it will be too late to sweep the grave, and the paper money you sent is useless. Converted into the current time, it is most appropriate to sweep the grave between 9- 12 and before 12.

Similarly, Ghost Festival is the first day of the tenth lunar month. At noon on this day, the ghost was released by the underworld, so the sacrifice will be held later. After the ghost is released, the ancestors can receive money and offerings from you.

Let's talk about this, that is, for half a year, that is, from Ghost Festival (1 1) to Tomb-Sweeping Day, ghosts were put in the underworld to let them come out for activities. Locked up for another six months.

4, the object of sacrifice

Because it is a sacrifice to ancestors, I went directly to the ancestral grave for sacrifice. The ancestral graves here refer to parents, grandfathers, grandfathers and so on. In addition, all related relatives should burn paper to show their support. First, everyone is a big family, so we should send some money to express our gratitude. Especially some relatives and friends had a good relationship with you when they were alive. Even friends will go and give you my blessing directly.

In Nanyang, Henan, there is a saying that married women don't sweep graves. It is said that married girls are generally not allowed to go to the grave except for major events such as anniversaries, saying that they are afraid of bringing wealth to the man's family. This statement has many supporters in Nanyang.

5. What was said during the sacrifice?

When offering sacrifices, we talked about empathy with our ancestors. Say something to remember, but also say your own ideals, such as asking your ancestors to bless you for promotion and wealth, and your parents are healthy. This is also very important, because ancestors may not know your specific thoughts. You can say it or you can say it in your heart. It must be expressed anyway.

6. Precautions after the sacrifice.

If the person who goes to the grave is weak and sick or his forehead is black, it means that his fortune is low and it is best not to go to the grave. If you must go, you can wear amulets such as bodhisattvas or jade buddhas with you. Pregnant women and menstruating women had better not go to the grave, and mental patients, patients with severe mental illness who have not fully recovered, and children under 7 years old with yang deficiency constitution are also advised not to go. Other seriously ill patients can't go either. There are older people, and it is best not to go to the grave.

The process of returning from sweeping the grave: after sweeping the grave, most people feel a little weak and weak. It is suggested to take a walk in a place where there are many people such as shopping malls before going home to absorb a little popularity and yang (as I mentioned in Yi Sheng Yuan's fortune-telling legend 3-those who are furtive may accidentally possess ghosts when they go to the wild, and it is easier to scare away when they go to a place where there are many people such as shopping malls).

And lunch, be sure to wait until you come back from the grave.

7. Other matters that need to be explained.

Friends who have dealt with Yi Shengyuan's team will generally give you advice on how much paper to bring, how many gold ingots to bring, how much fruit to give, and so on. When they meet Tomb-Sweeping Day's sacrifice, it varies from person to person. If you want to consult, you can go to Yishengyuan's website for consultation. If you don't have time, you can bring more appropriately. It is not surprising that many people are polite.
