Which four major festivals require ancestor worship?

In our country, ancestor worship is a very important matter. There are not only many rules to follow when worshiping ancestors, but there are also special festivals for ancestor worship.
1. Qingming Festival
Speaking of Qingming Festival, I believe everyone is familiar with it. As one of our traditional festivals for worshiping ancestors, it is natural to worship our ancestors on this day. During the tomb-sweeping ceremony, people remove weeds from the graves, add new soil, offer a roasted pig as a sacrifice, burn incense and drink wine, burn paper money and hold simple sacrificial ceremonies to express their remembrance of their ancestors.
2. Double Ninth Festival
The Double Ninth Festival is one of our traditional festivals for ancestor worship. In many areas, people need to worship their ancestors on the day of the Double Ninth Festival. Because the ninth day of September is pronounced as "Jiujiu", which is a homonym for "Jiujiu", which means long-lasting, people often worship their ancestors and promote respect for the elderly on this day.
3. Mid-July
The so-called Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Ghost Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival. The Mid-July Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year. It is called Ghost Festival. That day is also one of the four major festivals for ancestor worship. The worship ceremony is usually held in the evening before the end of July and is not limited to a specific day.
4. New Year’s Eve
In addition to the above three festivals, ancestor worship on New Year's Eve is also quite common. New Year's Eve, as the last day of the year, is of great significance in our country. Ancestor worship on New Year’s Eve is one of China’s traditional customs that has been passed down to this day.
Therefore, China's four major festivals for ancestor worship are Qingming Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and New Year's Eve.
