Women and outsiders are forbidden to participate in sacrifices. Many ethnic groups, such as the Yi, Miao, Nu, Dai, Wa, Hani, Lisu, Oroqen, etc., have the custom of forbidding women to participate in sacrifices and forbidding outsiders to enter sacrificial sites. 2. It is taboo to have unclean people participate in sacrifices to the gods . The Han people forbid unclean people to participate in sacrifices, that is, menstruating women, pregnant women, postpartum women, infants, people in mourning clothes, and people who are punished. 3. Avoid choosing people of high moral character and prestige to preside over the sacrifice. When offering sacrifices , choose people of high moral character and prestige who are over 50 years old to preside over the sacrifice. Otherwise, the presiding priest will die immediately due to his young age and will not be able to enjoy such an honor. 4. Avoid words and actions that may offend the gods during sacrifices. During sacrifices, people cannot talk or cough casually, and cannot behave in an indecent manner. During the sacrificial period, men and women are not allowed to meet alone, have sexual intercourse, eat meat, etc. 5. Avoid worshipping gods with gender characteristics regardless of gender . For example, there is a saying among the people that "men don't worship the moon, and women don't worship the kitchen god." This is because the moon god is a goddess and the kitchen god is a male god, so people are afraid that worshipping the gods by the opposite sex would blaspheme them. |
