Cooking is forbidden. Those who have the task of worshipping should make bridge slabs and "five feasts", that is, long bowls, round bowls, bean bowls, turrets and group bowls, for worship before the spirit. Among them, the bridge deck is very particular. It is necessary to use three kilograms of 62 meters of rice, divide it into seven parts, make it into the shape of soles, and fold it into the shape of dominoes when worshipping. After the worship, you must eat or feed the pigs before noon in the sixth day of junior high school, otherwise the dead will be delayed to cross the bridge.

There used to be a silly woman in Chaoshan countryside. On the fifth day of May, she forgot her wife. When she saw the funeral home in early June, she thought it was a holiday again, and she didn't ask why, so she followed her. The neighbor asked her, no one in your family died. What is she doing? The silly woman replied: I can't make it on the fifth day of May, but I will definitely make it on the sixth day of June. Later, this sentence became a folk saying in Chaoshan.
