What is the importance of ancestors in Chinese culture? Which ancient Chinese belief do you agree with most? Why?
@Shayla
I can help with the first question but the second one is based off your opinion lol not mine :)
Chinese religion is founded on veneration of ancestors. Ancestors are believed to be a means of connection to the supreme power of Tian as they are considered embodiments or reproducers of the creative order of Heaven.
Being an important aspect of the Chinese culture, the social or non-religious function of ancestor worship is to cultivate kinship values like filial piety, family loyalty, and continuity of the family lineage. https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/Chinese_Customs/taoism_ancestor_worship.htm#:~:text=Being%20an%20important%20aspect%20of,continuity%20of%20the%20family%20lineage.
