This is superstition. The platform is not placed at the main entrance, and the joints can only be placed in the north-south direction, and the east-west direction when worshipping ancestors. The day before offering sacrifices to your ancestors, you should prepare the necessary sacrificial gifts. Sacrificial ceremonies are passed down in a more spiritual direction, so in modern society, sacrificial gifts should be simplified or adopted in a more spiritual way.

Traditionally, sacrifice is to "pursue filial piety" for ancestors. Therefore, the ancient traditional sacrificial procedures often require "storing sacrificial vessels" (Zhu), and sacrificial offerings, wine and ritual vessels need to be prepared. Modern ceremonies can prepare paper money, incense sticks, flowers and wine. Burning paper money aims to express the spiritual and moral obligation of future generations to their ancestors, hoping that the deceased can have relatively rich supply resources in another world.

Traditionally, incense sticks are considered as things that smoke the sky and people communicate with God. Flowers are a modern way to show respect. Toast is a continuation of traditional etiquette, and it has the function of expressing full respect for the sacrificial order through three sacrifices in the sacrificial procedure.

However, in the subsequent ritual procedure, in the sense of "chasing filial piety", it is necessary to carry out a ceremony aimed at letting ancestors and gods go to the cemetery to enjoy the sacrifice. So this requires a ritualized process of decline, dedication and resignation. Divination is a ritual to invite ancestors' gods from heaven to the cemetery to enjoy sacrifices. Etiquette requires the owner to light incense sticks and insert them in the incense burner in front of the tomb or on the ground. Deacon opens wine or pours glass. The priest took a glass of wine and said to him, "I sincerely invite so-and-so ancestors to sacrifice." Spill wine on the floor. Goodbye, reset.
