What are the Taoist "taboos" that must be known before entering the Taoist temple?

First of all, ordinary people should dress neatly and pay attention to gfd before entering the Taoist temple. They shouldn't be naked or barefoot. Before entering the Taoist temple, it is necessary to distinguish between men and women, because female pilgrims should step on their right feet first, and male pilgrims should step on their left feet first. When entering the threshold, their feet should not step on the threshold.

Generally, you should choose three sticks of incense, and you can't blow out the open flame on the incense with your mouth after lighting it. After the worship, the order of inserting three incense sticks into the incense burner was also stipulated. Put the middle one first, then the right one, and finally only the left one. Moreover, the distance between the three incense sticks should not be too far, and it should be closer to reach the ears of the gods.

There are also some devout pilgrims who will bring some tributes, which are divided into incense, flowers, lights, water and fruits. Incense is the usual fragrance. Flowers should generally be fresh and elegant, such as the four gentlemen in flowers, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are all good choices. Oil lamps or candles are generally selected for lighting, and water will be water or tea. Fruits include fresh apples and bananas. You can't sacrifice plums to the old gentleman, and you can't sacrifice pomegranates to the emperor Zhenwu.

You can't use the crossing ceremony when you worship the great god, because the crossing ceremony is a hand ceremony when you go to the temple to worship Buddha, not a bow ceremony used in Taoism. Jugongli, specifically speaking, means that the left hand holds the right hand, and this Jugongli also has a moral, saying that it is to promote good and suppress evil, because most people in ancient times thought that the left hand was good and the right hand was evil, so wrapping the right hand with the left hand meant wrapping evil with kindness.

As a professional Taoist, there are still some rituals to learn, which are more complicated and rigorous than the bow ceremony. When you meet a female Taoist in a Taoist temple, you can't call her a Taoist because it is disrespectful to them, but when you meet an older Taoist, you can call her a Taoist. If you want to say hello to them, you can say? Taoist compassion? Or? Life is endless, Buddha? Bow when you say it.
