Why do you want to put portraits of your ancestors at home during the New Year?

In the past, not only many ancestors (that is, grandfathers) invited the dead old people home for the New Year, but also (that is, my father) was religious. The word "family hall" should be explained here. Family hall generally refers to the main room in the family. In this question, it refers to the ancestor's god. ? In the past, Chinese New Year was not only a family matter, but also a family tree. ? Some people's genealogies are packed in wooden boxes and put in shrines, which will be displayed during the Chinese New Year. Others put it in their rooms for collection. This kind of genealogy is generally old and tattered, but it is very valuable and should be displayed during the Chinese New Year. ?

In most parts of China, families and genealogies are usually placed before the 3th Sacrifice, and they will be put away on the first night of New Year's Day. ? Why? Because on the second day of the lunar new year, the married daughter will go home to pay a New Year call, and they can't see it. ? The folk saying is that when a married woman comes home and sees her family and genealogy, the gods of her ancestors will follow her to bless her, regardless of her son. ? This is of course a superstition at that time. The idea of son preference is deeply rooted, but the married daughter is afraid of getting benefits. Even the dead ancestors had to compete with married women. ? It looks ridiculous today, but it is a folk custom of the past. ? There are also some places in China where this custom does not exist. Ancestral halls and genealogies were kept until the 15th day of the first month, and they were put away after they were sent to God in the evening and the doormat paper was burned. ?

At present, some families hang up family emblems and show less genealogy during the Spring Festival, mainly because of some buildings in the city, and the crowd is mainly young people. ? Limited by conditions, the building is really difficult to hang. ? Some people don't bring these things into the building at all, or even like them. It seems inappropriate to hang them in a modern and fashionable house. ? So these things are kept in my hometown or in my old house. ? Although some young people keep saying that these things are feudal superstitions. If you really put your family in a fashionable home, they can't even sleep well because they are really afraid of ghosts. There has been no separation between ghosts and gods in China since ancient times. To be exact, the dead relatives have become "ghosts". ? When they are afraid, they don't feel it at all. In fact, this fear is the real superstition. ? This is ridiculous and insincere. ?

however, where there are halls or halls, the phenomenon of hanging homes has not decreased. On the contrary, some families now hang portraits of dead old people on the other side of the shrine all the year round. Some of them took portraits of old people since the popularization of photography technology in China, and many of them hung portraits of three generations. ? Ancestor worship, ancestor worship, and respect for propriety and righteousness have not decreased among China people. ? There is another phenomenon among the people in China. When people are young, they feel that their ancestors are not important. When you reach a certain age, you will naturally miss your ancestors, respect them and think of worshipping them. There are many examples around me. ? Therefore, we should not blame young people, they will get old one day. ?
