What does it mean to put a tribute at the door?

Placing tributes at the gate is not only a traditional culture, but also a way for China people to respect their ancestors, offer sacrifices to gods and show their culture. Traditional offerings in front of the door include flowers, fruits, tea, candy and so on. In addition, there are some special areas or festivals where jiaozi, Zongzi and other products will be placed. Placing tributes is our respect for ancestors, our pursuit of traditional culture, and an important part of the continuous inheritance of Chinese culture.

In modern society, many people have gradually lost the habit of placing tributes. However, some cities and villages with cultural heritage and inheritance consciousness will still adhere to traditional customs, and will place tributes at the door every important festival, religious ceremony or important family activities to show their respect. This traditional culture is not only our precious wealth, but also an important part of China culture.

In the process of placing tributes, there are not only strict division of labor and steps, but also strict rules and etiquette. The process of cooking and the way of eating out have their own unique rituals. I remember my grandmother once taught me that before placing a tribute, I must burn incense at the door, worship the shrine, pray loudly, and then offer a tribute. In the process of placing tributes at the door, people are not only displaying traditional culture, but also inheriting and transmitting China's pure and touching spirit.
