CONFUCIAN CORNER

"He sacrificed to the Dead as if they were present

He sacrifice to the spirits as if they were present."

-Confucius

This is one of the best characteristics of being a Chinese. Firstly, honouring our forefathers with small blocks of tombstone in our homes and sacrifice and burn things to them as if they were present. As a Chinese, it is our virtue. 

Our forefathers and our great ancestors is the reason why the family is still alive and around. So honouring them is like honouring their greatness and their dignity as part of our family, You can see us Chinese going to temples, 祠(ancestral chamber) because we have the duty to remember them and thank them for the blessings and guidance they have done for us.
