After 3 pm, bring incense, candles and paper to the ancestral graves to kowtow to the ancestors. When you get home, before the ancestral tablets of the past dynasties, you will offer them rice, wine and fruit (as is the case everywhere in the countryside), and you will sincerely invite your ancestors home for the New Year by lighting incense and candles.
From the beginning of the New Year's Eve, before meals, the ancestors are provided with food at the memorial tablet in the morning and evening, and incense is offered in the morning and evening, until the 16th day of the first month, when they burn incense and paper, and then they are sent home as gifts.
Sacrificing ancestors on New Year's Eve represents filial piety and etiquette. It is Yang filial piety to support living parents and Yin filial piety to sacrifice deceased ancestors, which are indispensable. According to geomantic omen, the first month is offered to ancestors, which can protect the descendants of the family from being separated or abducted easily, and prevent the children from getting lost. Ancestors bless their families to be safe and less sick, their children to be filial to Sun Xian, to be successful in their studies, and to have a prosperous family.
