When offering sacrifices to ancestors, the first thing to pay attention to is to take a piece of real money of 100 yuan, spread it out and press it on paper. We have to feel that this 100 yuan is a stamp, with rows of covers from right to left and from top to bottom until the whole paper is covered. Under this burning paper is hard currency. Money is real, face is in the pocket.
Fold the pasted paper, divide it into seven or eight pieces with one knife, and fold it diagonally twice, otherwise a stack of paper will be very troublesome to burn. Because the taboo is folded up, it is not convenient for the people below to use it.

When you choose to worship your ancestors, you actually have to burn it after dark, and no one dares to come out to withdraw money at dawn.

Sometimes an intersection is a pile of paper dust, so you can't get around it, so please insert it carefully, sometimes it may take a big step. Before you go, you should say, I'm sorry to bother you.

Just wear ordinary clothes and shoes, but it is forbidden to wear too fancy clothes, especially in summer. Female friends can't wear sexy clothes, otherwise it is disrespectful to their ancestors. Male friends should not wear fancy shoes, which will bring bad luck.
Don't swear.
The cemetery is a solemn and serious place. When you worship, you must be pious and worship according to local feng shui customs. You shouldn't make any noise in front of your ancestors, especially children are forbidden to make noise and fight everywhere. You can't swear at the grave, it's disrespectful to your ancestors. It will not only damage your career, wealth and family, but also easily get into trouble.
It is forbidden for the weak to worship alone.
They are covered in yang, and their admirers are their immediate family members. They can go to worship alone, but if they are weak, they should not go to worship alone. Such people are very yin-qi, and when they arrive at the cemetery, they will attract more yin-qi and suffocation, which will not only affect their own health, but also have a great impact on the fortune of others. People who are weak should go to worship their ancestors with others.
No photography
Photography is a no-no. When you worship your ancestors, don't take photos of the cemetery on a whim, let alone take photos with yourself or others in front of the grave. This will bring yin and provoke the gods of our ancestors. Mobile phones or cameras can easily take away the soul and attract all kinds of unfavorable magnetic fields, and soon you will encounter unlucky things.
Ancestor worship needs to be carried out according to the custom of geomantic omen. We should understand the taboos of geomantic omen and not violate them. Otherwise, it will be very unfavorable to ourselves, which will easily lead to a decline in fortune, affect the future, and even lead to illness and bad luck.
What are the taboos in ancestor worship? 3 1. Not suitable for pregnant women.
Not to mention the fatigue of the boat, the rugged mountain roads, the influence of all kinds of smoke and dust in sacrificial places, and the habit of setting off firecrackers in many places, all of which will affect the health of pregnant women or children. From the folklore point of view, unborn children are not suitable to meet these dead people, because it will easily lead to the death of children. If pregnant women have to go, they have to wrap their bellies in red cloth. But it is strongly recommended not to go.
2. People who have just had surgery are not suitable.
Weakness is the main factor. According to folklore, if a person who has just had surgery goes to a cemetery, it is easy to be taken away. When the operation is painful and the vitality is weak, evil spirits are particularly easy to invade. People who have just had surgery, for their own health, for their families and for their beauty, still don't go to the grave.
3. Children under three years old are not suitable.
There is a saying that children under 7 years old are not suitable, but in fact, from the numerology point of view, children under 3 years old are even less suitable, because no matter from Chinese religion or foreign past life theory, it is mentioned that children under 3 years old are the easiest to see another world. From a scientific point of view, children under 3 years old are easy to carry because of various conditions in the grave-sweeping place, and it is easy for children to get sick when they go out to places with relatively heavy pollution. It is not recommended to bring them, and breastfeeding mothers should not bring their own babies.
