The way of sending lights

After these lights are finished, they start to light up before the sunset star rises. Send it to the ancestral throne first, pray for the ancestors to show their spirits and bless their families for a year of peace and happiness; Then send it to the tablets of heaven and earth and kitchen god, so that the gods can bless their families; It was also sent to warehouses, cattle and horses pens, well platforms, mills and so on. , in order to make the grain Man Cang and beef fat Ma Zhuang, safely draw water and often eat food; Finally, it was sent to the intersection, praying for safe entry and exit, and the family came from all directions. Finally, the eldest son of each family carried a face lamp and other lamps in a basket and sent them to the ancestral grave. When sending lanterns to ancestral graves, you can only nod your head when you meet acquaintances to show the seriousness and heavy mood of your ancestors. You can't borrow matches when you light a light at the grave. People think that lighting a fire means that you can't live in your own life and your life is not rich. If candles are used to send lights to ancestral graves, they must be red or yellow-green candles, and white candles are forbidden. Because white candles are called "big white sticks", in order to avoid the disaster of "bachelor" in the next life (that is, boys can't get a wife), avoid lighting white candles. Gold and silver lanterns are usually sent to the underworld, so that ancestors can always have gold and silver in the underworld, rich and glorious. Put the gold and silver lamp in front of the grave, mix the chaff with the oil you brought in advance, enclose the ancestral grave in a square, leave a gap in the southwest corner as a door, and put an iron lamp at the door. At this time, the chaff of fuel particles is lit in the windward, which immediately forms a fire dragon, commonly known as the fire dragon lamp, which means that the ancestral grave is guarded by dragons and the feng shui is auspicious. Finally, the iron lamp at the door was lit to light the way for the ancestors' souls to go to Xitian Avenue.
