What are the taboos of the Wuqi Tomb?

( 1 ) The fire must not be extinguished when burning incense and paper money . When burning incense and paper money, you must pay attention to the fire and do not let it go out. Many people will bring a lot of paper money to the mountain, but during the burning process the paper money will go out for various reasons. This is very unlucky and has the bad meaning of cutting off the incense. Therefore, there are usually many people assisting in the process of burning paper money, watching the fire and preventing it from going out.
( 2 ) The offerings are complete . On the 57th day after the death of the deceased, the descendants must wear complete offerings when visiting the grave. The main items include gold and silver paper money, fine candles and incense, as well as flowers, fruits, and the food that the deceased relatives liked to eat during their lifetime. None of them can be missing. When placing the offerings, the offerings should be inside and the incense should be lit outside. Firstly, this is to allow the ancestors to easily "taste" the offerings, and secondly, it is also convenient for people to light fires and worship.
( 3 ) There are quantity requirements for offerings . In addition to the type of offerings, the quantity is also very important. Our people have always been very sensitive to numbers, and this is no exception at this important time. In most places, offerings are in odd numbers rather than even numbers. This is because odd numbers are auspicious during sacrifices, while even numbers are considered inauspicious.
( 4 ) Clean up the site after the sacrifice <br/>Visiting graves on the 57th day of the twelfth lunar month is as grand as the Tomb-Sweeping Day, and people bring a lot of things with them. However, after the worship is over, do not leave garbage at the scene. You should clean it up before leaving. If the paper money is still burning, make sure that all the previous ones are burned out. After the paper money is burned to ashes, use the water you carry with you to put it out to ensure that it does not cause a fire.
