What do I need to prepare to burn paper in a cemetery?

1. Buy burnt paper.

When you buy less of that kind of stacks of printed materials, one piece is hundreds of millions, and the money is not real, it is not as good as the old ruble and VND.

Valuable. Buy a stack of popsicles for the bottom at most.

But it's burning a lot of money.

At the same time, it's okay to burn a little like this, there are a lot of debt collectors below, who ask you for money with a dead face, and if you don't give it, you will grind you, so you have to answer them with this kind of small money.

2. To buy yellow straw paper, take a piece of 100 yuan of real money and exhale it with your mouth and then press it on the paper, to feel that this 100 yuan is like a poke, from left to right, from top to bottom, row by row to cover it, until the whole paper is spread, such a burning paper is the real hard currency below.

3. Before you are ready to burn paper, you had better prepare a lighter and a small stick. In this way, I am afraid that everything is ready, but I find that I forgot to bring the fire, which will be a very bad omen. Second, it is convenient for you to pull up the money paper stacked together when you burn the paper, so that the air circulates and it is easy to burn.

4. It is best to have a cloudy day.

Or after the sun sets, or when it's dark.

After going to burn, the relatives of the sun did not dare to come out to withdraw the money. On the way back and forth to burn paper, try to bypass the burning paper of other houses, do not step on, sometimes an intersection is full of paper ash piles, you can't get around it, then you have to carefully intersperse the past, sometimes you may need to take a big stride, before you go over, you have to say a word, sorry, borrowed.

Precautions for going to the grave

It is best to choose the time of the grave between 9 am and 3 pm, and the time to go to the grave should not be too early or too late, because this time period is the time when the yang energy is the most vigorous, which can enhance one's own yang energy and block the yin energy of the cemetery.

It is best to wear some red clothing or accessories on the body, such as red socks, red underwear, etc., because the yin qi of the cemetery is very heavy, especially on the first day of July, the yin qi is aggravated, and red items and clothing can play a role in warding off evil spirits, helping to protect the self-model when going to the grave.
