Sacrificial products are displayed in Chaoshan. In the traditional culture of China, sacrifices are always used to commemorate this festival. Of course, there may be some owners who don't understand the objects and styles of sacrifice. The offerings in each place are different. Let's share the offerings of Chaoshan.
Sacrificial articles in Chaoshan are arranged in the simple order of 1, and the specific details are best according to family customs:
Vegetarian food comes first, and five animals come last.
Tea, wine and white rice should be placed in front of the tablet.
The incense burner is in front.
Here, I would like to remind you that the incense sticks in Chaoshan Sacrifice are essential items for the sacrifice, and we attach great importance to offering incense.
In ancient times, incense was used to worship gods and ancestors. People who commonly believe in folk religions are "incense holders", which is different from other religions.
Burning incense means communicating with the gods, and rolling up with cigarettes symbolizes communicating with the gods in the sky. Different worshippers use different incense, but the essence of incense is the same.
And some chemical flavors, flavors and the like are even more unsuitable. Burning incense has the function of eliminating filth. Using chemical incense will not only make the altar solemn, but also destroy the environment. I can't bear to worship Buddha when I hear it. Isn't it more important to stop it
So it is very necessary to invite a good Xiangxiang. It is suggested that you can ask a few boxes of incense to pray and convey your awe. This perfume is made of natural perfume, which is harmless to body and mind, and can also relieve people's emotions. It has a good reason to be blessed by the gods.
How many tributes do you need for the relocation of Chaoshan?
-It usually takes three or four tributes to move to worship God, usually fish, apples, bananas and flowers.
1 Tribute can choose a whole fish, and there are no restrictions on the types of fish, preferably carp, or even crucian carp. But remember not to use half or incomplete fish, whether steamed or fried, and don't put too much pepper or onion. In the arrangement, the fish head should rush to the gods, which can bless the prosperity of the family and represent more than a year.
Apples can also be placed on the altar as a tribute. There are no restrictions on the types of apples, but if placed, the same kind of apples should be placed, and the size and color should be similar. Remember not to put rotten or moldy apples, which is disrespectful to the gods and will be counterproductive. It should be placed neatly, neither too much nor too little, and it is best to be odd. Don't make the apple unstable just because there are too many pictures.
Bananas can also be placed on the altar as a tribute, preferably a whole bunch without broken marks. Therefore, this bunch of bananas should be carefully selected. It's better to be about the same size as your tribute plate, neither too big nor too small. If it is too big, it will spill on the plate, which is very messy. If it is too small, it will show insufficient respect for the gods. Bananas had better not have black spots, bright yellow is the best.
You can also put flowers on the donation table when you move. You can choose flowers or silk flower. If it is real flowers, remember not to buy flowers with thorns, such as roses, and don't put stale flowers. This is disrespect for the gods. If it's silk flower, you must remember that the flowers should be exquisite. Don't place flowers with bad shapes at will, and be careful not to get dirty.
