What are the customs of ancestor worship?

1. To worship ancestors, a niche or incense burner is usually set up in the hall, and worship is continued during the annual festivals (eight festivals at the end of the year). The death anniversaries of recent ancestors are often marked with "worshipping taboos", but as time goes by and the number of distant ancestors increases, the "worshipping taboos" and festival worshipping are omitted and replaced with sacrifices on the "Spring Equinox" and "Autumnal Equinox" during the year, commonly known as the "Spring and Autumn Sacrifices".
2. There are also tomb-worshipping for ancestors. People usually worship their ancestors and sweep tombs on New Year's Day, Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice. The 15th day of July is the Ghost Festival, also known as the "Yulanpen Festival". People often burn "36 incense sticks" and "paper sticks" in the wild to worship the lonely ghosts.
3. In the western Sichuan region, the elders will lead men, women, old and young, with men on the left and women on the right, standing on both sides in neat clothes, burning incense, candles and paper towards the ancestral tablets. According to the order of seniority, people kneel down and worship their ancestors, offer wine, food and burn paper money. There may be some differences in other regions, which is a manifestation of regional cultural differences.
