How to worship relatives during the Ghost Festival?

If we want to correctly commemorate our deceased relatives, we mainly need to analyze the three aspects of time, place and sacrifice.
1. Introduction to the correct time to worship relatives
The correct time to worship deceased relatives is after 2 p.m., and the best time is actually between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. (on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month). If there are ancestral tablets at home, the time for worship is from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the same day. If you need to burn paper money or something like that, you need to do it after dark, because ghosts are afraid of sunlight.
2. Introduction to the correct place to worship relatives
The place to worship deceased relatives should be chosen in front of the tablet.
3. Introduction to the correct way to worship
The correct way to worship is as follows: place chopsticks on the altar; burn incense and pray, the number of incense sticks is the number of offerings plus three; after burning incense, insert one offering into each incense stick, and for the extra incense sticks, two sticks each for staple foods such as rice, noodles or cakes. After the incense sticks are burned out, put away the incense sticks, bow with both hands and pray, declaring the ceremony over.
