What etiquette should I pay attention to when I go to Taoist temple to burn incense?

When entering the Taoist temple, many laymen and believers worship their ancestors first and then burn incense, which is not in line with the traditional Taoist etiquette. First of all, dress neatly (avoid exposing your shoulders and legs), properly collect your belongings, wash your hands, and then ask for incense. Light a candle before burning incense, which means "the silver lamp is bright, the sky is bright, and the silver rainbow is bright." Vegetarians sincerely offer some gifts, and gather together to welcome the details. " Then burn incense, and three sticks are a column, which means "three treasures of incense". Burning incense Taoism is called "making incense", which means "pure moral incense, offering an empty emperor, driving auspicious light far away, and wishing disciple (believer) XXX good health and good health." After "adding incense", use your left hand to incense, because the left hand is generally called the lucky hand and the right hand is the murderer; And China tradition, the left is big. First, insert a incense stick in the furnace, which means "Daobaoxiang", then insert it on the left side (right side of the incense burner, left side of the founder icon), which means "Jingbaoxiang", and then insert it on the right side (left side of the incense burner, right side of the founder icon), which means "Shibaoxiang". The three sticks of incense are required to be about one inch apart, which represents the heart of the inch. They should be horizontal and vertical, and cannot be skewed. Finally, "turning paper into paper" means "today shows the true spirit, is sincere to heaven, seeks the eternal future according to one's own will, does good without regrets, and lives a long life." If you pay homage to an old friend, you should burn "gold bricks", "silver" or "paper money" or "mingbi", which means "Qian Bao pays tribute to the first spirit, sincerely respects the sky, seeks a happy and eternal future, and does good deeds without regrets." Lightly wax, incense and money (paper), and then enter the temple to pay homage to the ancestors.

Don't kneel to the front of the futon, so your hips are higher than your head when kowtowing, which is neither elegant nor respectful, and your body is not smooth, which is not in line with the purpose of "keeping in good health".
