What does the ancestor worship ceremony mean?

Sacrificing ancestors is a grand folk activity.

New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Double Ninth Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival (except, Qing, Jiu and Yu) are the four major festivals for ancestor worship in Chinese traditional festivals. Due to different local customs and habits, the forms of ancestor worship are also different. In some places, while offering sacrifices to ancestors, they also offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth.

The offerings mainly include three sacrifices, three teas and five wines. At the ceremony, parents light three incense sticks, bow down, pray for a bumper harvest, and finally burn paper, commonly known as "giving money to food".

Ancestor worship is an ancient festival with far-reaching significance, which has existed for thousands of years. Offer food and flowers to the deceased elders to express their feelings, offer sacrifices, burn paper and set off firecrackers. Miss the lost elders, and pursue the distance with caution.
