Extended data:

There are three forms of ancestor worship:

(1) The more common way is to go to the grave in the place where the ancestors were buried (usually in the village cemetery), commonly known as "going to the grave". The time is mainly the anniversary of death and traditional major festivals (except Mid-Autumn Festival), such as New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival (July 15), October 1st and June 1st.

(2) Remote sacrifice: also called "please", because of the bad weather, you can't go out or go to the cemetery to worship in person, so you set up a sacrifice at home or near the field, burn incense in the direction of the ancestral cemetery in your hometown, and invite your ancestors to enjoy the sacrifice.

(3) Family sacrifice: instead of going to the grave, or going to the grave at the same time, the memorial tablet or genealogy map with the direct ancestors written on it is sacrificed in the main hall or "Family Temple", and the whole family or the whole people sacrifice together. The ceremony at home is called "Inviting Family Hall", which is very solemn.

Rural burial ceremony:

When going to the grave, people bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the grave, repair the grave, fold some fresh green branches and insert them in the grave, put some paper money on it, put bricks on it, let others know that there are descendants in the grave, and then kowtow to worship. ?

It is very important to visit the grave during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Because ancestor worship and filial piety are tied together. If you don't participate in ancestor worship, you are unfilial and forget your ancestors.
