Mùyù (Ritual Bathing)
Ritual purification bathing, referring to cleansing the body before a sacrifice or important ceremony, not daily washing.
Specifically refers to the purification ritual of cleansing the body with clean water before performing a sacrifice, ceremony, or coming into contact with sacred objects. This is not for daily hygiene, but carries symbolic meaning of purifying body and mind to demonstrate reverence. Traditionally, the timing for performing such rituals had specific requirements, needing to align with auspicious days and favorable hours. In modern times, before participating in certain religious or traditional ceremonies, a similar concept of purification is still maintained.
