Chinese Ancestor Worship
Chinese Ancestor Worship is a traditional practice in which individuals honor and pay respect to their deceased family members. This custom is rooted in the belief that ancestors continue to influence the lives of their descendants. Families often create altars at home, where they place offerings such as food, incense, and other items to show reverence and seek blessings.
During important festivals like the Qingming Festival, families visit graves to clean them and make offerings. This practice reinforces family bonds and cultural identity, emphasizing the importance of lineage and respect for one's heritage in Chinese culture.
