Matters needing attention
First, different generations have different names. Generally, it should be traced back to four generations, that is, the first test, the ancestral test, the great-grandfather test and the great-grandfather test, to show "being cautious and loyal."
Second, honorifics are all male right and female left. Self-assertion naturally changes with changes, corresponding to sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Three, the crossroads on the back of Fuge should write a big "seal" to show the seal, and other ghosts are not allowed to open it at will.
Roll up a roll of money paper, wrap it in white paper and write "Only for porters". A porter is a postman in the underworld. If there is no porter, the money can't be sent out.
Matters needing attention in burning steamed stuffed bun in Mid-Autumn Festival
Burning steamed stuffed bun means burning the sealed steamed stuffed bun for ancestors on the night of July 13. There are rules for burning steamed stuffed buns, not just holding them and burning them.

The step of burning the package is to bundle the package first, that is, to split the written package in two, and then bundle it with a string for consignment.
The horses

3. Give it to the groom.
For the groom, it is to invite paper men who drive horses to dinner, and at the same time burn paper money for them to drive horses.

Step 5 draw a burning ring
Draw a circle when burning steamed buns, that is, draw a circle with an exit where you want to burn steamed buns (usually in the yard at the door), with a diameter of about one meter, and the exit faces the direction of the road;
Insert incense
Inserting incense is to point a stick of incense every 2-3 meters from the burning bag exit to the road as a street lamp to guide the cavalry to start;
Make a bag
Bricklaying is to pile the bags to be burned into a shape with a certain space (generally a hollow tower) in the bag combustion circle for burning and burning.
8. sesame seed cake
Burning a bag is to burn a pile of bags with paper money, read the names of ancestors while burning, and let them claim their own money. On the way to burning, by the way, the offerings such as Jinshan Yinshan, fragrant flowers and paper flowers offered at home are burned, and some scattered paper money is burned outside the package burning circle, so that those ghosts who don't serve can collect it while burning.
