THE VENERATION OF ANCESTORS

Many people know that the Chinese since ancient times, great attention is paid to the veneration of ancestors. This is reflected not only in a single visits the temples, but in the burning of ritual money, which can often be seen in the evenings on the streets of Chinese cities. So my mother-in-law bought the money and burn them in the yard, watering the vodka.

However, there is another form of worship. Many Chinese people kept on their balconies some kind of box. Inside of this kind of altar is a small vessel where you have to light incense sticks. Is this box we have. The fact is that 5-8 years ago my grandmother died. She is dedicated and this altar. Inside has a sheet of paper on which is written the hieroglyphs.

This piece can be purchased at the temple. This altar-in-law periodically puts a plate with 1-2 dumplings or any other food. Sometimes he also puts back a shot of vodka.

The Chinese are taking it pretty seriously. They proudly claim is our religion. In addition, in no event it is impossible to point the finger at the altar, and subjects in Buddhist temples. Here and so.
