While offering sacrifices to their ancestors, some places also offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and land, while other places also kowtow to the Jade Emperor (the highest god in Chinese folk beliefs) and the Queen Mother (the wife of the Jade Emperor). Sacrifices are divided into two categories: worshiping ancestors and worshiping various ghosts and gods. Sacrifice originated in the Shang Dynasty. The Shang people believed that ghosts and gods had great authority and could decide people's fate, so they revered ghosts and gods very much. They divided ghosts and gods into three categories: gods of heaven, gods of earth, and human ghosts, and human ghosts - ancestors were the main objects of worship. They believe that although their ancestors are dead, their souls still exist and can bring blessings or disasters to their descendants, so they make daily schedules to perform pious sacrifices. This concept of ancestor worship has continued to this day and has formed the characteristics of our country's culture. The sacrificial rituals include burning incense, reading prayers, offering rice soup, serving tea, offering silk, offering wine, offering food boxes, offering sacrificial meat, offering blessings, burning prayers, and bowing to the gods. In some places, when burning silk and paper money, the main priest will offer a cup of wine in front of the god, and then a ritual attendant will take it to the place where the silk is burned and pour the wine on the silk. When pouring, the wine will be dripped into the shape of a "heart" to show the piety of the priest in offering the money and paper. During important stages of the sacrificial process, gongs, drums or string music accompaniment are played several times to add to the lively atmosphere of the ceremony. After the ceremony, pork, mutton and other offerings were distributed to the participating representatives. Summary: The above is [How are those who died during the Spring Festival?
