Time is important when burning paper during the Mid-Autumn Festival

There are many things to pay attention to during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whether it is worshiping ancestors or traveling, there are some things you can do and some things you cannot do. Some of them will be curious, can daughters burn paper for their father during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

However, as for whether you can burn paper, you still have to tell the truth.

Time is important when burning paper during the Hungry Ghost Festival

The first thing to pay attention to is the time for burning paper. During Ghost Festival, you can go out and burn paper at any time. It will definitely not work during the day, because the Yang energy is dominant during the day, and burning paper is inappropriate and has no effect; if it is too late, it is inappropriate. The darker the night, the heavier the yin energy becomes, especially during such a sensitive time as Halloween. If you go out too late to burn paper, you may easily be hit by evil spirits. The best time to burn paper is when the sun has just set. At this time, the yang energy gradually disappears and the paper burning effect is the best. After 7:30, Sister Bao does not recommend that everyone go out to burn paper.

Position

Where to burn paper is also an issue that needs attention. Different places have different customs: some places will place a brazier at the door to burn incense for their ancestors; some places will choose to burn paper outside. The specific location is based on local customs only. If you choose to burn paper outside, you'd better burn paper at the intersection as well.

Round

After choosing a place to burn paper, it is best to clean the ground before burning. Remember to use the small stick you carry with you to draw a circle and put the paper money we burned into it. But this circle cannot be drawn as a solid circle, it will not be good if it is completely circled. Remember to leave an opening, and the location of the opening should be in the southwest direction.

Burned inside and out.

In addition to burning paper money inside the circle, we'd better burn some paper outside the circle. In traditional Feng Shui, this is the best way to appease ghosts. In this way, not only will they not cause you any trouble, but they will bless you.

Don’t turn it over at will

When the paper money is burning, we usually stir it gently with a small stick to let the paper money burn fully, but the rotation range must not be too large. It is best to Burn the paper money into a whole.

Will you visit the grave on the Mid-Autumn Festival or in advance? You cannot visit graves, burn incense, or burn paper money in advance. Reason: The Mid-Autumn Festival is July 15th, and in some places it is July 14th. On this day, all ghosts will be released from the underworld and they will return to death to meet their loved ones. Therefore, people generally worship ghosts, visit graves, burn incense and paper on this day. If you burn paper, burn incense, and visit the grave in advance, the ghost of your loved one will not be able to gain your heart before returning to the deceased. Therefore, generally speaking, you cannot visit graves, burn incense, or burn paper in advance during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
