How do you say to send your ancestors after the Chinese New Year?

It should be said that ancestor worship is to seek the blessing of ancestors, hoping that ancestors will protect their children and solve difficulties for their children.

Sacrifice is divided into ancestor worship and all kinds of ghost worship. Sacrifice originated in ancient times. The ancients believed that ghosts and gods had great authority and could decide people's fate, so they respected ghosts and gods very much.

In the process of historical evolution, the family concept and ancestor worship in many places have become increasingly weak. Lingnan attaches importance to traditional customs, and the custom of ancestor worship is still popular today. China has inherited the tradition of ancestor worship for thousands of years, which has multiple psychological functions, the most important of which is to drink water and think of the source, and to worship ancestors because of filial piety. This concept of ancestor worship has continued to this day, forming the characteristics of our culture.

Ways to worship ancestors in various places:

1, Kaifeng, Henan Province: In the fifth watch, people who keep watch for the new year should first wash their hands, wear dresses and hats, put sacrifices on the altar, burn incense and set off firecrackers, and the family will continue to bow down to their ancestors according to their generations and wish "Happy New Year".

2. Luotian, Hubei: On the morning of the first day of Xinzheng, I went to the ancestral temple to pay homage to my ancestors and pay a New Year call. The guards of the ancestral temple have already prepared sacrifices and set off firecrackers on the long pole in front of the ancestral shrine. After the arrival of the clansmen, they were lit and set off to show their welcome to pay homage to their ancestors. After the ancestor worship ceremony, they will get fruit boxes, refreshments or a hearty breakfast.

3. Shandong and Northeast China: On the first day of junior high school, people of all ages put on new clothes, hats, socks and shoes to worship their ancestors. In front of ancestral shrines, they light candles, burn incense, burn paper and shoot guns, and future generations bow down like musical instruments, which is called "paper inoculation".

4. Guangdong and Guangxi: At five or six o'clock in the morning of the first day, in front of the ancestral hall, the whole family, men, women and children, put on new clothes and bowed down to their ancestors in the order of generations.
