What are the rules for burning paper for the elderly on Qingming Festival?

If you burn paper money in a relative's cemetery, the family should kneel in front of the grave, light three incense sticks first, and offer some food. Then you can burn paper money by talking quietly with relatives. In some areas, as the thirty years approached, each family had to affix a couplet to the door and face, and then place the incense burner, candlestick, and articles on the table of the eight immortals on the north side of the hall.

Thirty years ago, the elders and others of the family would kneel outside the village, burn paper, light incense, and recite the names of their dead relatives, meaning to "summon" their souls to return home for the New Year, and then kowtow three times. When the "summoning" formula is complete, the family can get up and go home, and then the spirits of the deceased relatives will follow you home for the New Year.

There are many ways for people in our country to burn paper money, and the methods of burning paper money vary from place to place. At the age of thirty, the family would go to the village in advance to burn paper money for their relatives.

Before the whole family eats the reunion dinner, stir-fry some good dishes for the ancestors or relatives, put the steamed buns on the plate or on top of the rice in the bowl, and then put the chopsticks according to the number of relatives. Every household drinks wine and fills its cups.

Qingming is a very important solar term at the beginning, Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, it is a good season for spring plowing and spring planting, so there is "before and after Qingming, planting melons and beans". "Afforestation, no better than Qingming" agricultural proverb.

Later, because the day of Qingming and cold food is close, and cold food is the day of the folk ban on fire and tomb sweeping, gradually, cold food and Qingming will become one, and cold food has become another name for Qingming, but also has become a custom of Qingming season, no fireworks on the day of Qingming, only eat cold food.

Tomb Sweeping Day requires burning paper.

The important thing for the Qingming Festival is to burn some paper money, ingots, banknotes, etc. If you miss your loved ones too much, you can also prepare some other finger paper products. There are also large paper packets to be prepared and things to be placed inside the baggage, and the name of the deceased is written on the baggage.

In ancient times, the paper money for burning paper was cut by relatives themselves, not bought from stalls, expressing a kind of sincerity and respect in their hearts.

Due to the influence of the ban on fire, paper money is not burned, but hung on small trees, bamboo poles, or pressed with stones next to the grave. In this way, all the graves that have been swept by the sacrifice have paper flags fluttering, constituting a unique landscape before and after the Qingming Festival. Those who don't have paper money are generally lonely graves without heirs.

Later, the ban on fire was generally no longer emphasized, and the paper money was burned. In the old days, the main form of ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival in Beijing was "burning baggage". The so-called "baggage" is used by the worshippers as a parcel to send from the yang world to the "underworld".

However, if your area allows, you should buy some money paper, incense sticks, flowers, and apples (firecrackers are now banned).

Is there anything special about the time of burning paper on the Qingming Festival?

Don't look at burning paper is a simple thing, but you still have to pay attention to the time.

Qingming Festival, if it is to the grave to burn paper, it should be completed in the day 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., if it is far away from home, can not go to the grave to burn paper in time, then wait for the dark time, go to the sparse intersection to burn paper, because the sky is not dark and dare not come out to withdraw money.

In addition, before you prepare to burn paper, you had better prepare a lighter (preferably windproof, July 15 is heavy and windy) and a small stick. This is convenient for you to pull up the burning paper pressed together when you burn the paper, so that the air circulates and is convenient for burning.

What are the taboos of the Qingming Festival.

1. The time of the sacrifice during the Qingming Festival, it is best to choose to complete the sacrifice from 10 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, because after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the yang energy will gradually turn from prosperity to decline, and the yin energy will gradually increase after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which is easy to affect some people with bad luck and weak patients.

2. For today, with the country's vigorous promotion of green sacrifices and the increase of people's awareness of environmental protection, many people have begun to sacrifice their deceased relatives with flowers and wine. For many people, the first choice for grave worship must be chrysanthemums, but the purchase of chrysanthemums is also particular. For some yellow chrysanthemums, it is not allowed to buy, because yellow chrysanthemums are also called longevity chrysanthemums, and it is not suitable to sacrifice to the deceased, so it is best to use some white chrysanthemums.

3. One of the must-have for the grave must be fruit, for the fruit it is best to place four kinds, which is also particular, since ancient times, people have said that "the gods three ghosts and four drafts are simple", this sentence means that three kinds of fruits need to be prepared for worshiping the gods, and four kinds of fruits need to be prepared when sacrificing ancestors. In Chinese history, there has always been a saying that odd numbers are yang and even numbers are yin, and it is best to share these fruits with their children after the sacrifice to their ancestors, because this will bless the fortune of future generations.

Pay attention to the time of burning paper, and start burning paper on the grave when it is dark, and burn paper on the grave during the Spring Festival, because only at this time will the deceased ancestors come to get the paper money for the offering.

Do not take pictures on the grave to burn the paper, and then go to the burning paper, remember to draw circles.
