How many times should I bow to my ancestors?

Pay attention to "knocking four times but not knocking three times" when worshipping ancestors, especially when sweeping graves. You must remember that you have worshipped four times, and it is taboo to miss one time, because the meaning of missing one time is completely different.

Ancestor worship procedures: burning incense, lighting candles, burning gold ingots and setting off a string of firecrackers. The whole family worships their ancestors in the order of seniority and age. Ancestor worship in upper-middle class families is always brightly lit and filled with cigarettes. Huizhou, Guangdong: The activities of sweeping graves in the Mid-Autumn Festival are related to the traditional customs in eastern Guangdong.
