Chinese funerary practices are deeply rooted in cultural beliefs and traditions. They often involve rituals that honor the deceased and ensure a peaceful transition to the afterlife. Common practices include preparing the body, holding a wake, and conducting a burial or cremation. Families may also offer food, incense, and paper money to ancestors, reflecting the importance of filial piety and respect for lineage. In many regions, the use of feng shui principles guides the selection of burial sites, emphasizing harmony with the environment. Additionally, festivals like Qingming (Tomb-Sweeping Day) allow families to pay respects, clean graves, and make offerings, reinforcing connections with their ancestors.
