The ancients believed that the person might have fate falling. So, to perform the ritual is to encourage the sick. Sacrifice offerings include: sour soup, sweet soup, pounded rice, flowers, incense, candles, silver and gold candles. The person who is prolonged the fate must take a bath, wash his body and put on new clothes. After that, the master of ceremonies will recite the spell for prolonging his or her fate.
