The text of the package is straight, and the contents of each column from right to left are (as shown below):
The first column: how many pieces of paper money from the underworld are prepared and packaged in the period of winning the Zhongyuan Festival (that is, how many pieces of paper money from the underworld are prepared and packaged)
The second column: give XX (that is, respectfully give XX)
The third column: therefore, XX receives and uses (that is, XXX elderly people who have passed away receive and use).
Column 4: Sacrifice of filial piety to XX (i.e., Yang Shixiao's memorial to XXXX)
The fifth column: knocking on the day of XX, XX, XX (that is, the date of kneeling and incineration in the lunar calendar)
matters need attention
First, different generations have different names. Generally, they go back to four generations, that is, the first exam, the ancestral exam, the great-grandfather exam and the great-grandfather exam, to show that they are "cautious and loyal."
Second, your respectful names are all male right and female left. Self-assertion naturally changes with the change, and the corresponding ones are: son, grandson, great-grandson and great-grandson.
Three, Fu leather on the back of the intersection should write a big "seal" word, to show the seal, other ghosts are not allowed to open it at will.
4. Roll up a roll of money paper, wrap it in white paper and write "Only for porters". The "porter" is the "postman" in the underworld. If there is no porter, the money can't be delivered.
Matters needing attention in burning buns on Mid-Autumn Festival
Burning buns means burning the sealed buns and giving them to our ancestors on the evening of July 13th. There are also rules about burning buns, not just taking them to burn.
1. Bundle
The step of burning the package is to bundle the package first, that is, to pack the written package in two, and then bundle it with string for consignment.
Step 2 feed the horses
Feeding horses means feeding paper horses that undertake the consignment task, that is, finding some food, grass and water to put in the place where horses are piled up to make them full;
3. Give the groom.
For the groom, it is to invite the paper people who drive the horses to eat, and at the same time burn paper money for them to drive the horses.
Step 4 pack your bags
Loading a pack is to carry the bundled package onto the horse's back, which is actually to put the paper horse between the two bundled packages;
5. Draw a burning bag ring
Draw a circle for burning buns, that is, draw a circle with an exit in the place where you are going to burn buns (usually in the courtyard at the door), with a diameter of about one meter, and the exit faces the direction of the road;
Step 6 insert incense
Inserting incense is to burn a handful of incense and insert a column of incense every 2-3 meters along the way from the exit of the burning bag to the road as a street lamp to guide the cavalry to start;
Step 7 build a bag
Brick-laying means stacking the bags to be burned into a shape with a certain space (usually a hollow tower shape) in the bag burning circle for burning and incineration.
8. burn buns
Burning bags means burning the piled bags with paper money, and reading the names of ancestors while burning them, asking them to claim their own money. On the way to incineration, by the way, we will burn the offerings of Jinshan Yinshan, fragrant flowers and paper flowers offered at home, and at the same time burn some loose paper money outside the package burning circle, and ask those ghosts who are not served to collect them while burning.
