Before the sacrifice, one must fast, which includes bathing and changing clothes. One must not get drunk, eat meat, attend funerals, visit the homes of sick people, or engage in obscene activities. In short, one must not participate in any unlucky or dirty activities.
There are twelve taboos on the day of sacrifice: one should avoid insincerity, one should avoid disordered rituals, one should avoid unclean utensils, one should avoid anger and quarrels, one should avoid untidy clothes, one should avoid chatting about external affairs, one should avoid laughing excessively, one should avoid disorderly order between the old and the young, one should avoid throwing stones at dogs and breaking utensils, one should avoid the sound of knives and spoons, one should avoid leaving the house before the inner sacrifice is finished, and one should avoid entering the house before the outer sacrifice is finished.
The Manchus in Shenyang also offer sacrifices to the "divine horse" during their ceremonies, which is called "Tahemma" in Manchu. "Shenma" pulls the cart and women are not allowed to sit on it. When the "Shenma" dies, it must be buried and no meat is allowed to be eaten. "Shenma" is also known as "Zuma" and enjoys very high courtesy.
In Shandong area, sacrificial items such as burning paper, paper ingots and other sacrificial items should be kept away from neighbors' homes. Children in mourning are not allowed to enter the homes of neighbors, relatives, friends, etc.
Religious taboos: Buddhism and Taoism prohibit meat sacrifices and killing animals for sacrifices
