[What the old almanac says about today] tells us that today is actually more suitable for offering sacrifices, so it is wise to choose today to offer sacrifices. What are the taboos in ancestor worship?1. Do not ask others to do tomb sweeping on your behalf. Some people may not be able to return to their hometown before Qingming Festival due to many objective reasons, and cannot go to the grave to sweep the tomb in person. They ask others to do it on their behalf, which is also very taboo. The Analects of Confucius says: "The Master said: If I do not take part in the sacrifice, it is as if there is no sacrifice at all." If you really can't get away, then there's nothing you can do. Just don't go. It's enough to have the heart to remember your ancestors, but you can't let anyone else do it for you. In a nutshell, you must never ask someone to sweep the grave on your behalf, as this is against taboo.2. Outsiders should not participate. Qingming Festival is a time to worship ancestors, so outsiders should not participate. The Analects of Confucius said in "On Government": "The Master said: To offer sacrifice to a ghost which is not yours is flattery." If it is not your ancestor and you do not even know him, but you join others in offering sacrifices to him, this is like flattery. Of course, if someone is a great person or celebrity in history, it is normal for later generations to pay homage to him or her out of respect. |
