A Complete Collection of Chinese Sacrificial Rituals and Customs

"The Encyclopedia of Chinese Sacrificial Etiquette and Customs" explains Chinese sacrificial culture from the perspective of folk customs, explores the roots of Chinese spirituality, uses the beacon of history to illuminate the road to the future, and guides people's spiritual world. Sacrifice is a unique phenomenon that has existed in China for three thousand years and has been passed down from generation to generation with continuous incense. Behind it lies the Chinese people's philosophy of life of respecting heaven and ancestors and pursuing the future with caution. It is not only the inheritance of traditional culture, but also the construction of social order; not only the catharsis of individual emotions, but also the code of civilization inheritance. In this book, ancient documentary records and contemporary folk customs are combined in an effort to restore various sacrificial scenes to show the unique romance and ritual sense of the ancient Chinese.
