The main focus of Wuqi paper burning is the preparation of sacrifices, and the other paper-burning processes are just in accordance with the steps of the previous paper-burning. First of all, this five-seven offering: lotus, cornucopia.

Money tree, paper money, incense, clothing, offerings of liquor. Secondly, the procedure of burning paper: bring offerings, incense burners, incense, clothes, burn them on the grave, and if you are not buried, please take out the urn, put it on the offering table, burn the paper on the incense, and finally burn the clothes, take back the urn and incense burner.

Paper money may not have been burned at the beginning, and the methods of burial, throwing, and hanging may have been earlier than burning, but because the image of paper money turning into smoke when burned can make people imagine entering the underworld, burning immediately became the most commonly used way to dispose of paper money. From this point of view, burn paper money.

The upper limit of the time of the origin legend can theoretically be traced back to the same era as the production of paper money - the Wei and Jin dynasties. and in the Kingdom of Gaochang in the Western Regions.

Legend, Cai Lun.

Papermaking was invented.

The world is a sensation, and fame and fortune are gained. Cai Lun's sister-in-law was red when she saw it, and forced Cai Lun's brother Cai Mo to learn to make paper. Cai Lun's sister-in-law felt deeply guilty, and died suddenly in a hurry, Cai Mo was angry, and burned the paper in front of his wife's spirit, and burned and heard his wife shouting in the coffin

Open the door, open the door! ”

When the people opened the lid of the coffin, Cai Mo's wife sat up, and muttered: "There is money in the yang world and the underworld."

Buying and selling with paper. If it wasn't for my husband who burned the paper, who would let me come back. "Then they said, 'I died, and the imps sent me to the palace of Hades, and the king of Hades told me to suffer, and on the way my husband burned the paper and gave me money, and the imps scrambled for it, and when they got the money, they released me back from hell.

In this way, the news that the paper made by Cai Mo could be used as a money messenger in the underworld quickly spread, and the original mountain of paper was snapped up. Cai Mo knew that his wife deliberately pretended to be dead in order to sell paper, and he didn't blame her. As a result, the custom of burning paper has been handed down, and the folk funeral sacrifice is still burned with darker rough paper, commonly known as "bucket bottom paper" and "rising bottom paper".

Different places will pay different attention to the different, and some folk customs have to bring gold and silver mountains and cash cows.

Cornucopia and other paper tie and offering offerings.

According to local legend: "Five-seven.

This day is the end of all the sacrificial activities of the deceased, on this day the five Yama kings of the Hades Hall will come to the final investigation of whether the deceased will go to hell to suffer, or reincarnate and reincarnate This five Hades are very strict, iron-faced and selfless, the only weakness is that he has no daughter when he is a man, so he is generally tolerant of people who have daughters, if he hears the cry of the deceased's daughter during his final review, he will be so-so, let the deceased go So, "May Seven" day, there is a deceased girl, and the girl has the custom of crying at the grave in the morning.

May Seven is a very important day, don't advance or postpone we are more particular here, but the mourning hall can ask the opinions of the elderly at home, if you are not too particular: please take out the urn (remember to play an umbrella, you can't see the sky), find the spiritual position of burning paper on the day of cremation (funeral home.

A special place for memorials, and there are 12 phases), the urn is placed below the ** frame of the deceased (the top can be covered with a red cloth or yellow cloth), and the food that the deceased likes to eat before his death is placed at the bottom (at least three, but also five), those who like to drink and smoke can bring their favorite brands before their deaths, after the memorial (burning paper) begins, light a cigarette, pour three glasses of wine, and pour the first two cups in an arc and sprinkle them in the circle drawn before burning the paper, and the last cup is left in front of the spiritual position.

Burning paper money on the grave of the deceased is not allowed to leave until all the paper money is burned, and the process of burning paper money should be more serious, and no jokes and laughter are allowed, which is the greatest disrespect to the deceased. After the burning is completed, the rituals brought by relatives and friends should be brought back to the deceased's home.

Other particulars of Wuqi burning paper:

1. The elderly in charge.

In the days of May Seven, the old man who is respected in the village should be invited to preside over the funeral, and the old man who is often in charge of the May Seven will know the process of burning paper, so it is necessary to go to the village in advance to invite the old man to preside over the funeral.

2. Relatives and friends.

Relatives and friends of the deceased will come to attend the May Seven Festival of the deceased, so the close relatives of the deceased should get up early on this day to prepare the banquet, and then the relatives and friends of the deceased will bring gifts to attend the ceremony.

3. Burn notoginseng.

After the death of a person, relatives set up a fasting meeting to make a sacrifice (or posthumous recommendation) every seven days, seven times before and after, for a total of 7,749 days.

Folk beliefs still have all kinds of particularities about this, such as the first "seven" called the first seven, for example, the son set up a wooden master for the deceased father (mother) to burn paper money, and invited the monk to chant the scriptures; 27 asks the Taoist priest to return to the birth scriptures; Three.

Seven, four-seven is commonly known as "scattered seven", can be done by nephews and nephews.

Five or seven times more valued, and there is also a "return" ceremony; Six or seven daughters prepare wine and meals, and if there are no daughters, nieces and nieces; Qiqi is called "broken seven", and the mourning family offers wine and food to pay tribute, and recites scriptures to remove spirits, etc.

In fact, doing the seven customs is not the content of the traditional funeral customs advocated by Confucianism. Issues such as the ** of the seven customs and the connotation of their beliefs have been discussed so far, and there is no conclusive conclusion.

However, there are different customs in different places, so it is best to combine them with local customs.

In the funeral, May Seven is an important day, and May Seven is dominated by daughters and nieces. Burn five seven except for paper money, offerings, mainly with paper goods.
