Please choose another auspicious day for sacrifices! What does sacrifice mean?Sacrifice is a part of Chinese rituals and a major part of Confucian etiquette. There are five rituals, and the most important one is sacrifice, which is to serve the gods and bring blessings. The objects of worship are divided into three categories: gods in heaven, gods on earth, and human ghosts. The gods in heaven are called "si", the gods on earth are called "ji", and the ancestral temples are called "xiang". The sacrificial view is recorded in the Confucian books such as "The Book of Zhou", "The Book of Rites", "The Commentary on the Book of Rites" and "The Supplement to the Great Learning". In ancient China, "gods would not accept sacrifices from those who were not of the same kind, and people would not worship those who were not of the same clan", and sacrifices had a strict hierarchy. The gods of heaven and earth are offered sacrifices only by the emperor. The princes and ministers offered sacrifices to the mountains and rivers. The common people could only offer sacrifices to their own ancestors and the Kitchen God. Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival are days for ancestor worship."Sacrifice" also means respecting gods, praying to gods and worshiping ancestors. In primitive times, people believed that the human soul could exist outside the body. Sacrifices are a derivative of this concept of soul. The initial sacrificial activities were relatively simple and barbaric. People sculpted idols of gods out of bamboo, wood or clay, or drew images of gods such as the sun, moon, stars and wild beasts on rocks as embodiments of the objects of worship. Then food and other gifts offered to the gods are placed in front of the idol, and the presiding officer prays, while the worshippers sing and dance to the gods. There are certain norms for sacrificial rituals and offerings. |
