How did the Taoist lock break open?

1, burn incense, unlock the child and kowtow.

2. The unlocked child and the "escort" child got under the Eight Immortals table in front of the altar (the Eight Immortals table was covered with a big red cloth, and there was a biscuit basket and a bronze lock on the table), and the host announced the unlocking.

Twelve people with different surnames began to open the bronze lock on the table of the Eight Immortals one by one. When unlocking the lock, everyone should say the formula "open the prison door, let the prisoner go and send the prisoner out of the door"; Then everyone takes a biscuit from the table and hands it to the "jailer" under the table. The jailer will take a bite, and the jailer will take a bite, and then hand it back to the table. This process was carried out 12 times.

4. After the lock is opened for twelve times, twelve hanging copper coins will be burned, and those who come to unlock it will rob the copper coins. It is said that people who grab copper coins will have good luck and padlock their children with such copper coins.

After burning, set off firecrackers, indicating that the "prison door" is open. The child who unlocked the lock should carry a piece of red cloth and run out from under the table. The child "accompanying the prison" chased after him and ran under a willow tree before stopping. Liu's homonym is "stay", and knowledge contains the meaning of wanting a child's life to stay.

6. The uncle of the unlocked child wants to hold a razor under the willow tree and wait to shave his head. It's actually just a symbolic expression. My uncle's homonym is "save", which means I hope my uncle can save the child's life, get him out of his misery and grow up healthily from now on. This answer is for reference only. Don't be blindly superstitious.
