How to become sworn brothers and sisters

Environment, two people, two bowls of wine.

Line: I volunteered to be a friend of eight worshippers. From then on, life and death are unknown. I feel like brothers and sisters, and I am dependent on good luck and bad luck. Don't be born on the same day in the same year, but die on the same day in the same year, with heaven and earth as evidence and mountains and seas as allies.

Everyone has a copy of Jin Lan Spectrum. The slaughtered chicken drops the chicken blood into the prepared red wine, and then punctures its middle finger to drop the blood into the wine. Take a sip in order of age and put the rest in front of Guan Gong.

Chengyi has a standard etiquette procedure, that is, on a voluntary basis, through consensus, choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, hang Guan Gong and other gods in a place that everyone thinks is more suitable, such as the ancestral temple, and hum three sacrifices, namely pork, fish and eggs (one for each person) and a live chicken (the male is a rooster and the female is a female).

Everyone sends out a copy of Jin Lan Spectrum, writes down everyone's name in chronological order, and presses their fingerprints. After the ceremony, everyone will bring a wick and "Jin Lan Music".

Then, kill the chicken, drop the chicken blood into the red wine, pierce the middle finger of everyone's left hand (the woman's right hand) with the needle tip, drop the blood into the red wine, stir it evenly, sprinkle three drops on the ground first, and finally take a sip in order of age, and put the rest in front of the statue of Guan Gong. This form, some are also called "blood alliance". This relationship is generally not advocated now.

The historical significance of the oath:

Worship originated from the story that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became brothers in the Three Kingdoms period. Later, people worshipped it, and then imitated it, that is, people with similar interests and similar personalities hit it off with each other and formed a brotherly relationship through certain forms, caring for each other, supporting each other and helping each other in life, and taking care of each other when encountering difficulties.

Over time, it has evolved into a kind of etiquette custom with humanistic color. This is the sublimation of friendship, the freezing of social relations, which runs through the Confucian thought of "righteousness" and fills the relationship between family and friendship. It is a special social interpersonal relationship in which friendship sublimates into family affection.
