Depending on your local habits, each place may be different. Generally speaking, it is the one we usually eat.
-
For example, you can have a plate of fruit, a plate of snacks, and a plate of meat. But you can't just put a plate and think it's okay. Since worshipping the gods is a festive event, it is reasonable to avoid a single in action, so the offering fruit can be used in an even number, and the odd number should not be used.
The following kinds of fruits are not allowed to be offered:
1. Pomegranate. The offering is to express their respect, many people will choose fruits, flowers, wine and water offerings, what are the fruits that can not be offered, there is a saying in the folk, the seeds will enter the sewer before the pomegranate grows, people think that it is not clean, so do not use pomegranates to offer.
2. Cherries. Cherries are also a fruit that is not suitable for offerings, mainly because the cherry fruit is small, but the seed sowing method is often used, so that the seeds will come into contact with unclean things, and the offering is sacred and serious, so the cherry blossoms and the number of peaches cannot be offerings.
3. Chunchang pears.
In many places, pears cannot be used to offer to the Buddha, because everyone thinks that "pear" is homophonic to "leave", which will give people a sense of separation and contain a bad meaning, so pears are generally not used to offer to Buddha. The head can be replaced by apples, which is said to keep the peace.
4. Plums. The reason why people feel that plums cannot be used for offerings is because plums conflict with Taishang Laojun's surname, and in order to avoid secrets, and in order to show respect for the gods, they will choose other fruits instead.
None of the above fruits can be offered as offerings, and they all have their own meanings.
Taboos: 1. Do not use beef and dog meat to worship the gods. 2. Do not use eels and eels to worship the gods. 3. Avoid using food that has been eaten to worship the gods. 4. Avoid using bitter gourd and winter gourd to worship the gods. 5. Do not use "hollow" fruit sacrifices.
There is also a saying that you should not make offerings that are not good for God, I hope mine will help you!

Embrace Buddhism. Almost every day, people will place some seasonal fruits in front of the Buddha statue at home as a tribute, and light a column of incense before going out in the morning to feel at ease. Except in the New Year or special days, people will be accustomed to go to the temple to worship, on weekdays, most of the friends who believe in Buddhism, or just in front of the position of the Buddha statue at home to offer some fruits, according to years of experience, most of the offerings are some fruits and some very common fruits, will also be used to prepare some fragrance, before going to work or before going out every day, will be used to light a stick of incense.
Hoping for a smooth day, when these become habits, it seems that the blessing of the gods has also become the beginning of the day's confidence.
Apples are the most common fruit in front of the Buddha statue, because of the ruddy color and full shape, it means peace and health.
It can be enshrined almost all year round. Apples that are available all year round are not only said to be eaten every day, but nutritious fruits are also common fruits used to make offerings to the gods. Generally, apples with a fuller shape and more red color are placed there, and there is a fragrance in them, which means that the whole family is healthy and safe.
Apples can be left out for a longer period of time, especially during the cooler seasons, and when left out for a while, they can actually be eaten.
People always refer to apples as golden fruits, believing that after being blessed by the gods, when people eat them, they seem to have a better meaning. Most families will be accustomed to placing Buddha statues and offerings in glass windows, so that they do not take up space and can be seen at a glance.
Persimmon is also a common place to place offerings, begging for color, has the reputation of everything going well, but due to the seasonality, sometimes the persimmon products are processed. Fresh persimmons don't last long, so most of the products that are placed in front of Buddha statues are processed products like persimmons. Because persimmon has an excellent meaning, people are very willing to use it as one of the tribute fruits.
And after a long period of time, it can still maintain a very good taste. Not only children are willing to eat it, but also elderly people who are not very good at teeth are willing to use it as a snack for recreation.
Although persimmons are not a food that can be eaten too much, and it will make blood sugar high, it will not be too much of a problem if you eat one once in a while.

Couples who went to the big temple to worship heaven and earth broke up, I think you still need to go to the big temple to explain the reason, let the gods in the big temple until the two of you have broken up, or let the gods know if the two of you can meet?
