THE LI CHI, OR CLASSIC OF RITUAL 261 of millet,^ to produce the Yaag fragrance in the room.
While this mixture is burning the personator enters and is seated.
" The first prayer, the words of which are prepared beforehand, is offered in this room to the particular spirit to whom the sacrifice is being made, and to no other. It is offered at a particular place called Fang.
The Fang is inside the temple when prayer is made to the spirit at the time of offering, and it is outside the temple, besid...e the gate, on the day following the sacrifice, when the spirit gives his response. At the Fang, communion is held with the Bright Spirit.
Where the spirit is, no one knows — whether here or there, whether near or far. The name ' Fang ' means ' far,' and prayer is intended to show respect.
" The Sovereign manifests the greatest reverence when he cuts up the meat with his own hands, the Queen pouring out the spirits. The raw meat is placed on the dish, and set before the personator.
The carcass is laid outside the west gate of the hall, the head brought within the hall, and mats are laid for feasting.
