Ancestor veneration in China

Ancestor veneration is like saying thank you to your grandparents and great-grandparents who are no longer with us. In China, people believe that their ancestors can still hear them and give them good luck if they show respect and honor to them.

So, to honor their ancestors, people in China make offerings like food, incense, and burn paper money or other things that their ancestors might like. They also pray and bow to their ancestors' pictures or tablets.

It's like having a big family reunion every year to celebrate the lives and stories of your grandparents and great-grandparents. It helps people feel connected to their roots and traditions while also expressing gratitude and love for those who came before them.
