How to burn paper during the Mid-Autumn Festival when you are away from home? The annual sacrificial festival is coming soon. Those who are working far away from home should not forget to pay tribute to their deceased relatives.

How to burn paper on July 15th in other places

1. Prepare items: incense, paper money, fruits, snacks, vegetarian wine, and lighter.

2. Time: Choose a time at night when there are no people or few people. But it is best to do it before 12 noon and no later than 3 pm.

3. Location: Choose a crossroads with few people, or on a mountain or some high place.

4. Specific steps: draw a circle and write your name inside the circle. Then put your things in it and burn the incense paper in it. That’s basically it. In fact, the key is to have the intention, and everything else is secondary. If you have the intention, even if you can't go back to visit the elderly's graves, the elderly will forgive and bless you.

July 15th Festival: Things to note when burning paper

1. Don’t choose roads with lots of cars and people, as the Yang energy is strong there;

2. Take two pieces before burning them and burn them for the wandering ghosts, otherwise they will occupy the land you have circled;

3. When encircling the land, clearly recite the names of your relatives, and there should be no gaps in the circle;

4. Prepare sticks and the like when burning, and make sure the paper is burned completely;

5. After the offerings are burned, they are poured into the fire and appropriately scattered outside the circle. This is called "po san" in our place.

6. Do not put all the paper money at once. Put it one by one or two or three at a time, and wait until the paper money is almost burned in your hand before throwing it away.

7. During the process, you can kneel or squat, and repeat what you said to your relatives. You must emphasize that they should not think about it and that everything is fine;

8. If there is wind during the burning process, do not pay attention to it. If the part of the circle that has not been burned out is not burned out, use a stick to stir it up, otherwise your relatives will receive it.

Incomplete, the wind blows away represents the taking away;

9. The denomination of the paper money you burn should be moderate, both too large and too small, otherwise you won’t be able to make change at the bottom;

10. Pay attention to fire safety when burning paper.
