Buojun said in a cold voice, "I am already ready for Ye Changying's fate. After my parents move into Yelingshan, I will personally lift Ye Changying's bones and ashes in front of my parents' grave."...the ancestor worship of the Ye family is the most grand family ceremony of the whole Ye family.

large families all attach importance to ancestor worship, especially those with a long history like the Ye family, which have a profound history and many branches, and attach great importance to the ceremony of ancestor worship.

in fact, many wealthy families want to hold a grand ceremony of ancestor worship very much, but the real ceremony of ancestor worship is by no means something that ordinary families can do.

some nouveau riche families can't support this table even if they want to hold an ancestor worship ceremony.

because these people's ancestral graves may be buried in the last three or four generations of ancestors, and when it comes to their identity, they may all be farmers in the previous generations, and there are no noble stories that can be told for future generations.

although the peasant class is also very respectable, in these upper-class society, the ancestors do not have a strong enough background, so they are really unable to do so.

especially in the upper class of Yanjing. In addition to comparing money and power,

compares family background and heritage.

Yanjing has many old relics of the flag during the Manchu period. The ancestors of these families were all aristocrats in the flag during the Qing Dynasty. In terms of which elder brother, it was Gege, and even a senior member of the middle school at that time.

such a family has a strong heritage, and when it comes to the grand ceremony of ancestor worship, it can immediately give people a sense of arrogance when reading out the deeds of two or three ancestors.

the ancestors of the Ye family were also officials of the imperial court at that time. A scholar of the ordinary family wished to build an ancestral hall for this scholar in his hometown, while the Ye family had hundreds of them, ten of them, and 31 of them, including the top three.

the Qing Dynasty has a history of nearly three hundred years, and the imperial examinations have been held for 112 times.

in the past nearly three hundred years, there have been only more than 20, 000 Jinshi and 114 top performers.

the Guangye family alone accounts for nearly 1/10, which is an extremely remarkable achievement.

it is precisely because of the emergence of a large number of talents among the ancestors that the Ye family has been able to exist for hundreds of years, and has always been quite powerful, even in the age of chaos.

of the Ye family who have opened branches and scattered leaves for so many years, there are at least tens of thousands of descendants of the Ye family who have spread all over the world, and a considerable number of them have gone overseas.

their ancestors, dating back hundreds of years, were the ancestors of the Ye family.

it's just that in ancient times, the eldest son of Ye inherited the mantle, and other eldest sons and common sons had to separate their families, so more and more Ye's family degenerated into collateral families, leaving only a direct lineage as the true patriarchal family.

it is as if Ye Chen's father had three brothers. According to ancient rules, after Grandpa Ye Chen died, the third son of the Ye family would be separated. At that time, Ye Changkang, the eldest son, would inherit most of the family business and mansion.

the second son and the third son should, after three years of filial piety for their father, leave the original Ye family residence with their families and start their own families.

in this way, the second son and the third son have also become collateral families of the Ye family.

at this time, these two collateral families were still relatively close to the patriarchal family. after all, the second, third and eldest brothers were still brothers of their first-wife compatriots.

but when it comes to Ye Chen's generation, it is Ye Chen's cousin who inherits the mantle of the patriarchal family, so the relationship between the two collateral families and the patriarchal family is another generation away.

by the time of the third and fourth generations, these two collateral families have also spawned several smaller collateral families, so they are even further away from the patriarchal family.

if it lasts for five or six generations, the span may have passed for more than a hundred years.

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});

at that time, people may not know each other at all, and the names of the descendants of other collateral families can only be found in the genealogy.

therefore, as a patriarchal family, we must use the ceremony of ancestor worship to summon people from other families from other families from time to time.

people get to know each other, get to know each other, worship their common ancestors together, and then strengthen the connection between the blood lines.

this is also a necessary way for a big family to maintain its strength.

therefore, the Ye family not only holds an ancestor worship ceremony every 12 years, but also revises the entire Ye family tree at the ancestor worship ceremony.

between this twelve years and the previous twelve years, each family will have new children born, older generations will die, and young adults will get married.

therefore, every 12 years, countless members of the Ye family report to the patriarch family the changes in the population of their own family over the past 12 years.

at that time, the patriarch's family will choose an old man of high virtue to renew the genealogy and write down the names and deeds of these people one by one.

the existing Ye family tree records the names of millions of descendants of the Ye family, as well as the names of millions of their spouses, such as the son of the Ye family, the daughter of the Ye family, and the daughter of the Ye family.

every time the genealogy is revised, it is also very grand.

the maternal parent of the genealogy is stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and it is invited by the descendants of the Ye family every time they worship their ancestors.

Please come out and worship, and immediately respectfully re-invite the mother back.

then renew the new genealogy.

after the renewal of the new genealogy, we should also solemnly ask the new genealogy to go back and keep it with countless previous mothers.

all the Ye family members regard the genealogy as a sacred relic of the family, which is sacred and inviolable.

and the patriarch family is the only family that has the right to keep the genealogy, so every time the collateral families come to worship their ancestors, they not only worship the genealogy three times, but also have a natural sense of belonging to the patriarchal family.

this is like the ancient emperors and ministers, through tedious etiquette, rituals and strict rules, inheritance, to strengthen the minister's idea of loyalty to the emperor.

this is also a big dependence on which the patriarchal family bows its head to the sidelines.

however, Ye Chen has no impression of the ancestor worship ceremony of the Ye family.

the last ancestor worship ceremony was 12 years ago, when he was still in Jinling Welfare Home.

the last ancestor worship ceremony was 24 years ago, when he was too young to remember it at all.

however, although he can no longer find the memory of the ancestor worship ceremony 24 years ago, he is still very clear about the ancestor worship ceremony of the Ye family, knowing that it is not only an extremely grand ceremony for the Ye family, but also the greatest worship ceremony for their ancestors and parents.

therefore, Ye Chen can't help but look forward to it.

he is not looking forward to paying homage to the ancestors of the Ye family, he is just looking forward to paying homage to his parents in a proper, aboveboard, grand and grand manner.

the last time he followed Gu Yanzhong to worship his parents, he had to pretend to be Gu Yanzhong's driver, but failed to go to his parents' grave and kowtow in his true identity. This has always been a regret in his mind.

so he said to Gu Yanzhong, "Uncle Gu, please convey to my grandfather that Ching Ming Festival's ancestor worship ceremony, I will go!" he does not even have a chance to be an ordinary person, he will really fall directly into eighteen layers of hell from above nine days. He would rather die than end up like this.so he could only cho...
