Ancestor veneration in China
Ancestor veneration () in Chinese culture and ethnic religion is the practice of living family members and Chinese kins to pay honour and respect () to their progenitors and ancestors. Ancestor worship developed by the Late Neolithic Period in China. (1957 ) Emphasised in Confucian philosophy, paying respect to one's ancestors is an aspect of filial piety () and is deeply rooted in Chinese culture; it is believed that the relationship and obligations of children toward their parents remains intact even after death.
Each Chinese kin maintains its own network of ancestral temples, where the godly progenitors and other ancestors of the lineage are worshipped. At these temples, ceremonies can be performed either by elders of the lineage, Taoist clergy, or, more rarely, Buddhist monks. Thus, rituals for ancestral worship are found in the practices of both Taoism and Chinese Buddhism.〔ReligionFacts. (2005, June 2). ''Ancestor Veneration''.

In Chinese folk religion, a person is thought to have multiple souls, categorized as ''hun'' and ''po'', commonly associated with yang and yin, respectively. Upon death, ''hun'' and ''po'' separate. Generally, the former ascends into heaven and latter descends into the earth and/or resides within a spirit tablet; however, beliefs concerning the number and nature of souls vary.〔Roberta H.
