Lee Wook et al.: How to perform ancestral rites

The essence of ancestor sacrifice is in the'repair of my source.'. Returning to my source means returning to my own ancestors, as we say in a short time, “all things are rooted in heaven, and man is rooted in ancestors.”. And this is possible only through the ancestor sacrifice. Whenever we discuss modern successions of traditional cultures, the culture of custom is always at the center. Because the ancestral sacrifices are thus established as a national traditional culture. This is a steady discussion of the necessary succession of ancestral sacrifices, which means that they have become the ‘hot potato ’ of our society. The ancestor sacrifice, associated with ‘my ancestors ’ which represent the orthodoxness of descent, is considered to be a basic obligation to be carried out as a ‘soned ’ city, rather than self-selectively making a tradition, as is other traditional culture. This is why the search for change is not so easy, but it is a major reason why ancestor sacrifices have become the hotst wave of our society.
