Chinese Ancestor Worship - Ancestral Tablet
The cermony of Ancestral worship. A Chinese believes that he has three souls, and when he dies one goes to the other world, one into the tomb, and the thirs into the Ancestral Tablet which is treasured and worsipped by his surviving family. It is said that the Chinese spend 24, 000, 000 per annum on ancestral worship. (text fom card)
