Choosing a Lucky Date: Many Chinese rituals, such as house blessings, weddings, or ancestral worship, are performed on an auspicious date chosen according to the Chinese lunar calendar. This ensures that the ritual aligns with favorable celestial influences.

Avoiding Bad Luck: Certain days or times are considered inauspicious based on astrology or the Chinese zodiac, and rituals are avoided on those dates.

Proper Ritual Etiquette: When performing ancestral worship (e.g., during Qingming or Zhongyuan festivals), it is important to show respect by offering food, incense, and prayers to honor the ancestors.

Correct Placement of Offerings: Offerings (such as food or paper money) should be placed in the proper positions on the altar or ritual space according to tradition.

Cleansing the Space: Before performing rituals, the area is often cleansed or purified with incense or ritual tools (such as a bell or gong) to remove negative energy and prepare for spiritual work.

Wearing Proper Attire: Those conducting the ritual, such as monks, Taoist priests, or the participants, should wear traditional clothing (e.g., robes or ceremonial attire) to maintain a sense of sacredness.
