Extended information:
1. You are not allowed to eat carp and beef the day before worshiping the Dragon Mother. There are two theories about not eating carp: one is that the Dragon Mother died because she was bitten by a fish bone while eating carp; the other is that the Dragon Mother died after eating carp. It is said that it comes from the fact that a carp jumps over the dragon gate and becomes a dragon. This means that carps are also descendants of the mother of dragons.
So people who go to worship should not eat dragons. The saying that they do not eat beef comes from a grateful heart. The five dragons were grateful for the mother's upbringing and turned into scholars to observe the filial piety for the dragon mother for three days. The temple of the dragon mother was formerly called Tongxiao Temple. Throughout his life, he has worked hard for mankind, and when he is too old to work, he will be slaughtered, so beef is also called rotten meat.
2. You must take a shower the day before going to the Dragon Mother Temple, and before worshiping the saints in China.
