Each person who made an offering lighted the incense, put it in the incense holder, poured rice wine into a bowl, waved the bowl three times in circles through the smoke of the incense and then bowed twice(head to the ground).  Then paper bills would be stuck into various holes of the pig's head.  Soon it looked like the pig had a real smoking addiction
