What are the rules for ancestor worship before the Spring Festival?

The rules for ancestor worship before the Spring Festival are as follows:

1. Generally, you should draw a circle around the ancestral grave with wooden sticks or stones, put all kinds of sacrifices in the circle and burn paper money. Pay attention when burning paper money, it must be completely burned, and there can be no residue.

2. Sprinkle wine on the ground to show respect, and offer flowers or paper flowers to ancestors. In some places, firecrackers are set off in front of ancestral graves to create a lively and festive atmosphere, telling ancestors that the New Year is coming and future generations at home are all well.

3, kowtow is not that simple, there are rules. Say the number first, there is one head, three heads and nine heads. Generally speaking, it is easier to kowtow, and it is enough to show sincere respect to your ancestors.

4. Some relatives work outside, or for other reasons, they can't go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. In the evening, they can burn some money paper at the crossroads.

Sacrificial taboo

Sacrificial order: If you are lucky enough to go to worship your ancestors with your family, you should respectfully arrange offerings, drinks and incense before the sacrifice. If you want to set off firecrackers to pay homage to your ancestors, you must not sacrifice, burn paper and set off firecrackers at the same time, so as not to be suspected of colliding with your ancestors.

Every family wants to have good luck in the coming year, so it is best to avoid spitting unlucky words as much as possible, especially when worshipping ancestors on New Year's Eve. You can't just say something unlucky.
