Praying to the ancestors in Qing Ming Festival is not only to cherish the memory of the ancestors, but also to share with the next generations the kindness of the ancestors. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have never stopped respecting and remembering their ancestors. To worship our ancestors during the Qing Ming Festival is to recall where our root origin comes from. This is also a beautiful time for gratitude and remembrance to talk about filial piety. It also reminds us that without ancestors, there would be no us.
Praying to the ancestors during the Qing Ming Festival is actually a great day, and it is the duty of our descendants to embody filial piety. If the ancestors see the family of filial sons and grandchildren come to do their filial piety, the spirit of heaven will definitely be deeply gratified and give unlimited blessings to the children and grandchildren.
The Qing Ming Festival commemorates the life of the departed in an elaborate set of rituals often mistranslated in the West as ancestral worship. It is a Confucian form of posthumous respect and filial piety offered to a Chinese person’s ancestors, departed relatives, or parents.
