The correct way to burn incense was to light the incense with the head facing down with the left hand holding the incense stick. One could recite the incense incantation: " Often burn the incense in the heart, get great peace." If the incense accidentally ignited the open fire, it was forbidden to blow it out with the mouth. Just fan it with your right hand or shake it to extinguish the open fire. Then, he used his left thumb and index finger to pinch the upper end of the incense stick, and his right thumb and index finger to pinch the lower end of the incense stick. Then, he placed the incense stick in front of his chest and bowed three times.
The order of making a wish, kowtowing, and burning incense was to make a wish first, then kowtow, and finally burn incense. During the process of making a wish, one could put their hands together and silently recite the wish. Following that, they performed a kowtow ceremony to express their respect and devotion to Buddha and Bodhisattva. Finally, the incense ceremony was held. The incense was burned to pray for the blessings and protection of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Regardless of the method of offering, one needed to sincerely pray to Buddha and Bodhisattva. Before making a wish, kowtowing, and offering incense, one must maintain a calm, focused, and devout heart.

Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many different opinions among the famous people of the past dynasties. From the Qi Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the mountains were desolate, the spiritual realm was lonely, and few people visited. It is difficult to find a ghost in the spiritual realm. 3."The Tang's Table":"The Tang's Table" is a book that makes one's blood boil. It skillfully combines the magnificent scenery of the Tang Dynasty with the cooking skills of the food. The author described the various characters and events of the Tang Empire, as well as the cooking methods of various foods, showing a rich and colorful world of the Tang Empire. This book not only depicted the prosperity of the Great Tang, but also showed the author's in-depth study of the history and culture of the Great Tang.

Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation: Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation is a refreshing book about rebirth. Unlike other similar works, this book did not let the protagonist follow the original owner's plot completely. Instead, it gave him a certain degree of freedom, making the story more rich and interesting. The beginning of the story was not repulsive, but it gave people a novel feeling.

By depicting the villain, the author showed his philosophical thinking and brought a different reading experience to the readers. 6."National Forensic Science":"National Forensic Science" was an urban forensic crime solving novel. The author, Shiniao Village, used his deep writing skills and industry knowledge to skillfully integrate professional knowledge into the novel, allowing the readers to feel the illusion of becoming an expert in the light and interesting text. The author's writing style was to make the social background of the novel rational through subtle settings, so as to focus on the description of industry knowledge, using a relaxed writing style to dilute the heaviness of the industry's reality. At the same time, the plot progressed slowly, mixed with a lot of descriptions of the environment or behavior. Behind the seemingly empty words, there was actually a lot of ridicule and innuendo. Therefore, I advise the reader not to skip through, but to carefully savor each paragraph, because this may miss the essence. In addition, there were still some parts of the book that he did not understand. He could seek answers through this chapter. In general, National Forensic Medicine was a highly recommended book. It focused on forensic science and combined medical knowledge with solving cases. It was very refreshing. Moreover, the author's previous book, the Divine Text Doctor Ling, was also very good. The main character was very well portrayed. Overall, National Forensics was a very solid book. It was a good choice for both food and entertainment. 7."Heroine Wait": I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going back. The ancestor concluded,"At the beginning, he transmigrated to another world and was adopted by the escort agency. He was trained according to the size of a gold-medal fighter. He was cared for with all kinds of care, pain, and happiness. The protagonist finally made it through. He read his last words and learned that he had a peerless martial art, but it was hidden in the palace. He then planned to travel in Jianghu and attract the attention of the emperor." ️️️1 2 Work Information: Word Count: 1,360,000 <<Title: Many Female Heroes, Jianghu Wuxia>> 3 Tweet: [Point 1: The girls in the author's works are very unique.

It was exciting to see how things would develop in the later stages. The author's writing was very skilled, and his worldview was also very good. The various concepts and forces were very rich, and the timing of the introduction was very appropriate. It did not make the readers feel that they had to change the map rigidly.

What followed was a very difficult plot, but he hoped that the author could write a good outline to avoid the phenomenon of a happy scene.

The roars of the gods and devils in the abyss made people feel the uniqueness of this era. The main character, Lu Yuan, brought along an attribute panel that allowed him to change classes indefinitely. In this era where new and old techniques, technology and divine power collided, he stumbled his way here. The author's class change plan was very attractive and brought endless possibilities to the protagonist. Lu Yuan looked at his hands that were gradually covered with black scales. The black hair on his back danced wildly without any wind. His scarlet eyes stared at the human-shaped mechanical body that streaked across the night sky like a meteor. He smiled and muttered to himself in a low voice,"Now..." I should be able to tear a mech apart with my bare hands…" This line gave people unlimited expectations and challenges.

The difference between life and death was like the difference between dreams and waking up. It was ever-changing and could not be questioned. Then, beyond life and death, beyond heaven and earth, beyond time, what awaits us? This was Er Gen's sixth novel after 'The Defiant Immortal',' Seeking the Demon','I Want to Seal the Heaven',' One Thought of Eternity 'and' Three Inches of Humanity.' 12: This Game Is Too Real: A New Book by the Academic Genius Author It was similar to the writing style of a top student. The author was very good at writing novels with a little professional knowledge and a faint pretentious aura. Demining: The author's emotional scenes are hard to handle. At present, I can't tell which one is the female lead, but when it comes to emotional scenes, it's really awkward. Just endure it or skip it. [What to Watch: The protagonist traveled to 200 years after the end of the nuclear war and rebuilt the ruins with the players who worked. This setting itself is very interesting.] It was obvious that the structure was very large. He wanted to describe a more complete wasteland world. The author's ability to control things had also improved compared to the previous book. The protagonist had self-proclaimed himself as a planner, tricking the players into working for him, pretending to release an update announcement and strategy, first summoning a few players for closed beta, and then slowly spreading it step by step. Let's see if it will collapse in the later stages. If it doesn't, we'll be able to become gods. [Rating: 4 stars] 13."Red Heart Sky Patrol":-Full of likes! -Next time at the top [320 Likes]! This was a wonderful Xianxia novel written by the author, Why Do You Feel So Strong? This book already had more than three million words. It was very high-quality and could be read without worry. Unlike the sage-like appearance of many Xianxia, the image of the immortals here was more realistic. They did not need to care about the people. They were high and mighty, looking at everything in the world like ants. At the beginning of the novel, the author wrote the image of an expert who was being hunted down. He was being hunted down, but he didn't care about his life. Instead, he said,"This Taoist temple doesn't even have a name. Is it worthy of burying me, Zuo Guanglie?" In between these words, the character's personality and the scene's image came out. It was enough to show the author's high level of writing. The author's description of the battle was even more wonderful. This expert who had single-handedly killed his way through Hangu Pass erupted with the power of Zhurong before his death, causing the eighteen people in the formation to retreat in shock. When the readers thought that he was going to fight back, or at least die together with his pursuers, they were shocked. A sword came from the distance. Before the power of Zhurong could be used, the expert's head fell to the ground. When readers read this paragraph, they couldn't help but imagine it in their minds. At the same time, they were curious about this immortal cultivation world. The realm of being better than others was also highlighted. Finally, let's talk about the main character. The main character was a child beggar (non-transmigrated) lying in a Taoist temple. At the beginning, he looted the corpse and found a treasure that could be considered a system. Later on, he became stronger step by step and walked to the peak... In short, this was a very good Xianxia novel. Whether it was logic, style, worldview, or plot, it was all online. I highly recommend it. 14."Ring of Fate": Finally, the time has come. Squid's new work is back as scheduled. It's also the continuation of my favorite "Lord of the Mysteries." Strongly recommended!

The best time to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was after seven in the morning and before seven at night. It was time for people to get up and wash up after seven in the morning. At this time, offering incense could bring benefits to the gods. Before seven o'clock in the evening was the appropriate time, because it would be disrespectful to Buddha and Bodhisattva to offer incense too late. In addition, the time to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month could also be chosen around eight in the morning. At this time, people had already woken up and washed up, and had not eaten yet, so the effect of burning incense was the best. In general, the best time to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was in the morning or evening. The specific time depended on the individual's situation and religious habits.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, three incense sticks were usually burned. These three incense sticks represented precepts, concentration, and wisdom respectively, and also represented the three treasures of offering to Buddha, Dharma, and monks. In addition, some people believed that the three incense sticks also represented heaven, earth, and people, implying peace and good fortune. There was no fixed number of incense sticks, but the most common was three. The time to burn incense was generally chosen after seven o'clock in the morning. At this time, people were usually up and relatively free. When burning incense, one had to maintain a respectful attitude. The correct way was to insert the first incense in the middle, the second incense on the right, and the third incense on the left. Burning incense was a way to express respect and faith. Through the fragrance emitted by burning incense, people established a connection with gods, ancestors, or other supernatural forces, which could help them better realize their wishes.
The best number of incense sticks to burn on the first day of the new year was three. Whether it was Taoism or Buddhism, there were three incense sticks, which represented slightly different meanings. In traditional China culture, three was a very important number.
