Family Sacrificial Rites,Customs Interaction and the Spiritual World of the Han People——A Case Study of the Han Family Sacrificial Activities in Tengchong
The family sacrificial rites of ordinary people represent a ceremonial practice with inherent ethical spirit,re-lated to social governance,establishing everyday life order,and fulfilling spiritual needs.In an attempt to explore the rela-tionship between Confucian-style family sacrificial rites and the norms and practices of daily life,the paper studied the so-cial composition and ethical implications of Han people's family altars in Tengchong,Yunnan.The activity of worshipping"Heaven-Earth-Sovereign-Parent-Teacher",Household deities,and ancestors is a product of the interaction between the national ritual system,Confucian norms and ethics,and folk beliefs.Although this belief system is full of religiosity,its es-sence still lies in personal morality and family ethics,because the communication with Gods and ancestors is arranged by ordinary people."Jia",has become the sole temple in the daily lives of traditional Chinese people,and serves as the dwelling place of social life.As the most vibrant means of ritual and education,family sacrificial rites continue to be an in-dispensable research issue in rural revitalization and grassroots governance.
