What are the customs of ancestor worship during the Spring Festival in various parts of my country?

1. On the first day of the first lunar month, people in Ningbo, Zhejiang, will light incense and candles, and offer glutinous rice balls, cakes, biscuits and fruits in front of the ancestor's portrait, and family members will kneel down in worship in turn. Some people also enshrine the portraits of their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and the family members go to the ancestral hall together to perform ancestor worship rituals.
2. During the Spring Festival, most families in Dongguan, Guangdong, choose an auspicious time from the calendar to hold a ceremony to worship their ancestors. The offerings are tea, wine, rice, boxes, fruits, Rulong (rice cake), Lu Dui and vegetarian dishes. The procedure for ancestor worship is: burning incense, lighting candles, burning gold ingots, and setting off firecrackers. The whole family worships the ancestors in order of seniority and age.
3. When people in Kaifeng, Henan stay up until the fifth watch, they wash first, put on formal dresses and hats, place offerings on the altar, light incense and candles, set off firecrackers, and the family members kneel down and pay homage to their ancestors according to their age and seniority, wishing them a "good year".
4. Northeast China: At the midnight on the first day of the new year, everyone, young and old, put on new clothes, new hats, new socks and new shoes, and worship their ancestors. In front of the ancestral tablet, they light candles, burn incense, burn paper, and set off firecrackers, and the descendants kneel down and worship as usual, which is called "paper distribution and inoculation."
5. When Taiwanese people turn from New Year's Eve to the Spring Festival, at three o'clock in the morning, the first important thing to do is to worship gods and ancestors. At that time, red candles were lit brightly, and tea, red beans and other offerings were offered to the deceased. People were solemn and respectful. After worshipping the gods, people kowtow to their ancestors, which is called "the beginning of spring". Welcoming the New Year is also called "Kaizheng". At the end of the ceremony, gold paper is burned as a tribute to the ancestors.
