In ancient times, this custom was very popular. Due to different customs in different places, the forms of ancestor worship are also different. [1] Chinese people have a tradition of respecting the dead and remembering their ancestors, and they never forget to worship their ancestors during festivals. While offering sacrifices to ancestors, some places also offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth. The main offerings include three kinds of meat, three kinds of tea and five kinds of wine; the head of the family presides over the ceremony, burns three incense sticks, kowtows, prays for a good harvest, and finally burns paper, commonly known as "sending money and food". The custom of ancestor worship has been passed down for thousands of years and is an ancient custom with profound significance. A person's fortune changes every ten years, so there is the saying "Ten years in the east, ten years in the west".
