Generally, the "Jinlan Pu" is required for sworn worship. The general reference size of "Jinlan Pu" is 16 centimeters long, 9 centimeters wide, and has 6 pages. Each page is printed with a vermilion "sea orchid" picture, and a poem is printed on the title page: Taoyuan alliance, loyalty, Lingxiao, Guan Bao, Wangji, old rain, joint, hanging sword, Jizi, Zou Nan, Qianjiao, Ziqi, Zhiyin, Pingzhongjiu, the former virtuous, the late, the late. Continuing from Diao Deng Ji’s four chapters, we offer condolences to each other like pines and bamboos. When the weather is cold, there is nothing to wither. There is a virtuous heavenly guide. Kong Zhao. In the following pages, the name, age, birth date, place of origin, occupation of the sworn person, as well as the great-grandfather, grandfather, and father in the family are written. The names of several generations such as sworn brothers, sons, etc., and finally the signature of the person who made the sworn vows and the time and place of the sworn vows. The classic Chinese novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes a story about Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei becoming sworn brothers in the Taoyuan. Their sincere friendship of "not wanting to be born in the same year, same month, same day, but wanting to die in the same year, same month, same day" is regarded as a beautiful and precious friendship, so it is likened to a fragrant orchid, which is taken from the "Book of Changes" "When two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can break through metal; when they say something sad, their stench is like orchid." It shows that the custom of worshiping golden orchid originated as early as the pre-Qin period. According to relevant records in "Xing Wu Lu", Volume 407 of "Taiping Yulan", it can be speculated that the custom of worshiping Jinlan had already begun to spread at least during the Three Kingdoms. In the Tang Dynasty, more elaborate sworn worship ceremonies appeared again. "Yunxian Miscellaneous Notes" of the Tang Dynasty says: "One of Dai Hongzheng's close friends wrote on Bo slips and burned incense to inform his ancestors. He was named Jinlan Bo." Here, the "Jinlan Bo" that Dai refers to may be the "Jinlan Pu" It was an early prototype, but it was used to "burn incense to report to ancestors" and was not used as a certificate for mutual exchange. After it was clarified, a very elaborate ritual of sacrificial post exchange gradually formed among literati and officials. During the sworn ceremony, each person must write a written contract, usually using red paper folded into the size of an envelope and folded several times, with "Lanpu" or "Golden Orchid Pu" written on the cover, and his or her genealogy written inside. After worshiping their respective ancestors, they exchange this message with each other, and they will treat each other as brothers from now on. Ordinary people generally do not need to change their sworn vows. They usually inform each other of their names, ages, and birthdays and then treat each other as brothers.

But now many etiquettes have been omitted. Just rub the soil to make incense, pray to heaven and earth sincerely, and the ceremony is complete! ~
