The differences are as follows:

1. Worship, weeping, and worshiping are words used when writing in the lower part of the ribbon, expressing feelings for the deceased, and they are used differently for different generations.

2. If you are a close relative such as the son or daughter of the deceased, you should write "son" or "female" before the name, and then use "kneeling", "weeping" or "mourning" after the name; The younger generation of relatives should use "knocking and holding" or "worshiping and holding"; Peers, colleagues and friends use "respectful arm".

3. If it is presented by the elder for the younger generation, it should be written as "Painful Holding"; "Wan" means to retain, which means to miss and mourn. Either way, it shows the world's respect and nostalgia for the deceased.
