Frequently Asked Questions
- When are the major ancestral ceremony days in 2027?
- Qingming (early April), the Ghost Festival in the seventh lunar month (August 2 – August 31, 2027), and the winter solstice in late December. Within those windows, families pick a specific day using the almanac.
- What happens during a jìsì ceremony?
- Families clean the altar or gravesite, present food and incense, and bow in order of seniority. The date matters, but so does doing it together — the ceremony is as much for the living as for the ancestors.
