銅關公像的供奉禁忌和講究

關公是自古以來在民間深為信奉的人物，備受尊崇，而銅關公像在銅像人物雕塑中占據了很大一部分，其造型多樣，寓意不同，那么在家中供奉關公銅像，有哪些供奉禁忌和講究呢？

Guan Gong is a figure deeply believed in by the people since ancient times and is highly respected. The bronze statue of Guan Gong occupies a large part of the bronze figure sculptures. Its shapes are diverse and its meanings are different. What are the taboos and stresses of worshipping Guan Gong in the home?

1、武財神關公是迎財神，必須朝向大門才可以將財運引入門，所以，關公的供奉一定是朝向大門的方向。

1. Guan Gong, the God of wealth, is the God of wealth. He must face the gate before he can lead wealth into the gate. Therefore, Guan Gong's worship must be in the direction of the gate.

2、家里擺放武財神關公像時，不能與祖先并排擺放，因為祖先是家神，不能與天神平輩，但可將祖先排位放于天神前面或底下一點，這樣就可以達到招財進福保平安的作用。

2. When placing the statue of Guan Gong, the God of wealth, at home, it cannot be placed side by side with the ancestors, because the ancestors are the gods of the house and cannot be on the same level as the gods of heaven. However, the ancestors can be placed in front of or below the gods of heaven, so as to achieve the function of Attracting Wealth, bringing happiness and ensuring peace.

3.在供奉關公像之前，一定要請大德的師父給關公像開光，這樣才能有庇護和招財的靈氣，否則只是作為工藝品，無法實現庇佑的效果。

3. Before worshipping the statue of Guan Gong, you must ask the master of Dade to open the statue of Guan Gong. Only in this way can you have the spirit of protection and fortune. Otherwise, it can only be used as a handicraft and cannot achieve the effect of protection.

4、在請關公像前要先準備三個果盤，連續早上上三天香，之后可以根據自己的時間上香，條件允許每天早上三支香，條件不允許的話初一十五早上各一次。往香爐上插香時，最好插在香爐的中心位置。如上三炷香，先插中間，后插左右兩邊，中間的香燭要稍高一些。寓意是心中福佑。跪拜時，要五體投地；平身時，要端正身軀，此舉以示虔誠。

4. Before inviting Guan Gongxiang, you should first prepare three fruit trays and serve incense for three consecutive days in the morning. Then you can serve incense according to your own time. If conditions allow, three incense sticks in the morning. If conditions do not allow, one in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year and one in the morning of the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. When inserting incense into the incense burner, it is best to insert it in the center of the incense burner. As for the above three incense sticks, first insert them in the middle, then insert them on the left and right sides. The incense candles in the middle should be slightly higher. The moral is that the heart is blessed. When kneeling down, you should throw yourself to the ground; When flattening, straighten your body to show piety.

5、供品3天左右換一回，要保持新鮮，水果、點心都可，撤下來的供品可以給家里人食用，祛病免災，是很好的。

5. The offerings should be changed once every 3 days or so, and they should be kept fresh. Fruits and snacks can be used. The removed offerings can be eaten by the family, and it is very good to cure diseases and avoid disasters.

6.關公神像不可被外人觸摸，尤其是眼睛和關公刀，運氣不好的時候可以自己轉動刀柄能夠幫助轉運。

6. The statue of Guan Gong should not be touched by outsiders, especially the eyes and Guan Gong Dao. When you are unlucky, you can turn the handle yourself to help transport.

7、每周或半個月，要清掃一次關公像和祭壇,確保潔凈清新，保持供臺和神像的整潔，不能讓灰塵侵染，供臺經常打掃，四季供奉，才可以財源廣進，財運興隆。

7. Once a week or half a month, the statue of Guan Gong and the altar should be cleaned to ensure that they are clean and fresh. The altar and the statues should be kept clean and free from dust. The altar should be regularly cleaned and worshipped throughout the year. Only in this way can the wealth and prosperity of wealth be achieved.

值得提醒的是：供奉關公的同時，一定要以關公的“忠義仁勇”精神，作為自己為人處事的準則，誠實做人，誠信作事，以人為善，公平正義。只有這樣，才能夠得到關公的福佑和庇護，也才能夠逢兇化吉，萬事如意。如果心術不正，自私自利，欺騙狡詐，關公是不會福佑和庇護的。

It is worth reminding that while worshipping Guan Gong, we must take Guan Gong's spirit of "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and courage" as the criterion for our conduct. We should be honest and do things in good faith, be kind to people, and be fair and just. Only in this way can we get Guan Gong's blessing and protection, and also can we turn bad into good and everything goes well. Guan Gong will not be blessed and protected if he is dishonest, selfish and deceitful.
