Generally speaking, there are two kinds of offerings, one is food, that is, snacks and fruits, and the other is the meat of pigs, cattle and sheep. A simple bowl of braised pork will do. From the layout format, it is generally placed in a quantitative relationship of three or multiples of three. For example, there are at least three fruits in a plate, or six, nine and so on. Never put one or two at will. And the plates provided should be three, or six, and so on. For example, you can have a plate of fruit, a list of hearts and a plate of meat. But you can't just play one set and think it's ok. Tributes placed at home can be placed in a quiet place, not in the bedroom, but in the west or south to show the worship of the western paradise. In the middle of the photo, there are two bundles (pots) of flowers on both sides of the photo, and there is a candle (or not) in front of the photo, and then there is a tribute. There can be eight (four cakes), six (three cakes) and five in front of the tribute table, but it can't be four. That's about it. This is the usual worship at home. If the family has just died, the orientation can be ignored, and the living room is better. In addition to fruits and cakes, there should be food in the tribute, and meat and vegetables should be divided equally. It is recommended to use even numbers instead of four. In addition, I personally think that sacrifices can be eaten, and it is said that after eating tributes, the younger generation can get less sick, keep safe and live longer. Therefore, after the family sacrifice, food will be eaten by the whole family, and fruits and cakes will be distributed to the younger generation. Attachment: Important Sacrificial Festival (Lunar New Year)
Tomb-Sweeping Day: It's the time of Yangming in a year, when cold goes and spring comes, and everything is animistic. It is just suitable for maintaining the mausoleum on foot, and it is often used to worship ancestors on this day. The fifth day of May: This is a traditional festival in China-Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, people also offer sacrifices to their ancestors. June 19: Guanyin Bodhisattva becomes a monk, and there is a folk custom of worshipping Guanyin for help. July 15: Ghost Festival, on which the dead can cross over and get rid of their pain, which is a festival to release their souls. July 30th: The birthday of the Tibetan Bodhisattva will help all those who do good. The first day of October: At this time, the cold has already appeared, and there is a custom of sending cold clothes among the people. 1 1 month 17: On this day, there are prayers for the dead beyond the Buddha. 1February 23rd: The valley is called Xiaonian, which is a day to celebrate the Spring Festival. At the same time, sacrifices can be made on the first, eighth, fifteenth, nineteenth, twenty-third, twenty-ninth and thirtieth days of each month to eliminate evil and produce happiness, and sacrifices can be made according to the date of birth and death of the deceased.
Question 2: What sacrifices should be prepared for the first seven days-after the death of the deceased, every seven days is an important date for worship, and the identity of the person in charge of worship is also different, commonly known as "Zuo Qi". * * There are seven dates, that is, "the first seven days", and orphans are responsible for preparing sacrifices; The daughter-in-law is responsible for "February 27"; "Sanqi" is the responsibility of the married daughter; My niece is in charge of April 7th; The married granddaughter is in charge of the Seventh Five-Year Plan. "June 7th" is the responsibility of married grandniece or great granddaughter; "July 7th" or "All Seven" is the responsibility of orphans!
Time-start cooking at midnight and worship food at noon. Generally speaking, the offerings on the seventh day, the third day, the fifth day and the seventh day will be more grand.
Offerings-When cooking seven worship dishes, prepare a place for offering three sacrifices, such as pork, rooster, fish and wine. There are five-flavored bowls or twelve-flavored bowls when paying homage to the deceased, such as rice, rice noodles staring at dried spring (symbolizing more than enough), leeks (lasting forever), dried bean curd (being a big official), celery (industrious), fish balls, meatballs (being a top scholar in middle school and a member of parliament), sliced meat, vegetable heads (good color heads), pig intestines (giving birth to boys) and chicken wings. As well as other fruits, red circles, hair @ (symbolizing the reunion and prosperity of children and grandchildren) and Miantou Mountain (also known as Children Mountain or Daughter Mountain).
Gold and silver paper-worship the earth god and use the blessing gold. Worship the dead with silver paper.
Question 3: How did you spend the first seven days? what are you going to do？ June 5th is a day, but June 12 is the first seven days. Prepare offerings, paper money, etc. The first seven days, counting from the day the deceased died, are called the first seven days, and so on. * * * There are seven July 7th anniversaries. The time of soul night is from midnight to midnight of the first seven days.
Five things to know in the first seven soul nights:
1, the first seven ghost nights were the first time that the deceased returned to Yang's home to visit his six relatives and relatives after his death. July 7th Memorial Day is the period when the dead are in the shade, and the consciousness of the dead has not been completely cut off, that is, the dead do not know that they are dead on July 7th Memorial Day. This is not a so-called ghost. Therefore, the first notice of this night of seven souls returning to their hometown is that the families of the deceased must remember their ancestors on this day, and they cannot refuse to leave because of family chores that make the deceased feel sad and sorry.
2. On the first day of the seventh day, there will be a cow's head and horse's face, two ghosts and four ghost soldiers to escort the souls of the deceased and let them return to their lost homes. Seven days ago, I entered the house from windows, chimneys, etc. On the same day, he walked out of the door. Descendants in the family can place tributes at home for the first seven days. Beef, horse meat and dog meat should be forbidden in the tribute, and the richer the meat, the better, so as to reward the four ghosts and make it difficult to crush them to death. At the same time, the food that ancestors liked to eat before their death can also be put in tributes and eaten on the road.
3. At the same time, on the seventh day of the first week, a bowl of water and a bowl of food should be placed at the entrance of filial piety. Putting clear water means that ancestors can wash away dust, avoid disasters and go on their way with peace of mind; Putting coarse grains means avoiding suffocation, preventing criminals from crying and driving away evil spirits and mildew. This bowl of clear water and a bowl of grain can be directly sprinkled at the door the next morning, and the grain can be thrown into the long running water on the same day. On the night of the first seven days, the tributes removed from Shihai, together with burning paper and silver tickets, can be burned at the crossroads and fasted.
4. In Shaman Xianmen, ancestors are not allowed to go to the cemetery for sacrifice on the seventh day, because the ancestors of various temples will officially record the magnetic field of the deceased's house and visit for inspection. At the same time, it is also the time for the evil spirits to catch their bodies. Therefore, on the seventh day, they will go to the cemetery to offer sacrifices, which will make the temple gods and the deceased covet the world of mortals, death and other sacrifices, bring bad luck to the living, and on the other hand, it is easy to collide with the evil spirits who exhale. On the seventh day of the first week, if it is not convenient for future generations to present their confessions at home, they should also burn paper to worship their ancestors that night.
5. During the first seven ghost nights, if there are people with four eyes and a month at home, they should avoid them, so as not to collide with the dead and all kinds of Yin soldiers. For those who die suddenly and unexpectedly, they will report their dreams to their relatives in the first seven days. Don't panic if your family dreams or sees it at home. Quietly ask the dead, help them properly handle the unfinished business, and let them rest assured to go west, Guangming Avenue and Yaochi Road. After the first seven days, the ancestors will go to Wangxiangtai and start the road of sweeping graves, which will never return.
This is just a custom that has lasted for many years. Now, people can only cherish the memory of the deceased in their hearts, not limited to any form. Filial piety to parents and serving them wholeheartedly are better than anything else.
Question 4: What tribute should the first seven family members offer? Different places have different customs and habits. Some places only burn paper, while others burn paper houses, paper carts and paper men.
Question 5: Where are the top seven tributes suitable for you? Some people say that the best place is at home.
I wonder if this statement makes sense.
Question 6: How to deal with the first seven tributes of relatives and take them home for family members to enjoy (this is called eating blessings)! May the person you love go all the way!
Question 7: What are the offerings of the first seven mothers? On the seventh day of the first lunar month, there will be an ox head, a horse face, two ghosts and four ghost soldiers to escort the souls of the deceased and send them back to their lost homes.
Descendants in the family can place offerings at home for the first seven days. In the offerings, beef, horse meat and dog meat should be avoided, and the combination of meat and vegetables can also be placed on the mother's favorite food to show filial piety. The more money, the better. At the same time, it is not difficult to reward the four ghosts and let them crush people.
At the same time, incense is the most important offering, and the significance of offering sacrifices to burn incense is that it is a very important intermediary for communication between gods and ghosts. By burning incense, people can establish a good relationship with gods and ghosts.
Therefore, it is very necessary to invite a good fragrance. A good incense can convey the thoughts and filial piety of the younger generation, at the same time, it can induce the blessing of the ten treasures and protect the ancestors from other evil spirits.
It is suggested that a prayer incense can be customized on the smokeless copper stove. This kind of incense contains natural plant materials such as chrysanthemum, which symbolizes mourning. It can also be customized according to mom's favorite flowers and plants. When you worship your ancestors, you can convey your respect and memory through the lingering smoke.
Question 8: When will it be available in the first seven days? It's noon in Jiaodong
Question 9: Can the first seven people eat tributes? Don't waste food!
Good results come from good deeds!
A bad cause leads to a bad result!
Worship Buddha, sin will destroy constant sand.
Say a word to the Buddha and you will be blessed!
There is no amitabha in the south!
Question 10: What are the top seven taboos for the death of the elderly? China people's funeral custom is based on the time of the deceased's death and the date and hour calculated by heavenly stems and earthly branches. But people are used to thinking that "the first seven" refers to the seventh day after death. Different places have different "first seven" customs, but it is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will go home in the first seven days, and the family should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before it comes back, and then it must be avoided. The best way is to sleep. If you can't sleep, hide under the bed. If the soul of the deceased sees his family, it will make him miss and affect his reincarnation.
It is also said that the soul will wander around before the "first seven" after death. When they go home at midnight on the first seven days, their families will burn a ladder-shaped thing at home and let their souls go up along this ladder. worker
After death, the first seven homecoming stories come from The Death Sutra of * * * (also known as Yin Zhong Salvation Solution).
