Sacrifice to the sea

Every time fishermen go out to sea, they have to sacrifice gods and burn books on board, commonly known as "running books". Then the boss throws the wine in the cup and the meat in the plate into the sea. For the sake of safety when fishing in the sea, it is called "making a lonely soul". When offering sacrifices, you should put a pair of "too squares" on the boat when you go out to sea, that is, a coffin board. The coffin board was named "Taiping Square", which is related to the fact that fishermen are likely to be swallowed up by huge waves when working in the sea. Sea burial is a taboo for fishermen, which is quite different from the custom of "being buried underground". Therefore, putting a coffin board can be peaceful. If you die, you will die at home, so that you can "bury yourself in peace." This is consistent with their desire to go to the market to buy a bed, not to buy a new one, but to buy a dead one, so they died in bed. At the end of the flood, there will be a sacrifice to the gods, which is called "Xie Yang".

Someone is holding a bamboo hand with a laundry basket hanging on it and a rooster in it. Facing the sea, he kept shaking Taoist spells.

The next day, the scarecrow was buried in an empty coffin.
