Ancestor Worship
Ancestor worship is a grand folk activity that occurs during Spring Festival. On New Year’s Eve, all families gather around shrines and worship ancestors by placing pictures of ancestors and memorial tablets in their largest room (which typically faces south) upon an altar where offerings are similarly placed. Ancestor worship originates from the Shang Dynasty and was handed down from generation to generation. People would hold sacrificial ceremonies every New Year’s Eve to worship their ancestors. It is a time for reflecting on memories and praying for good fortune.
