The Ye Family’s ancestor worship is the most grand family ceremony in the entire Ye Family.
Large families value ancestor worship, especially large families with a long history like the Ye family, which have a profound history and many branches, and they attach great importance to ancestor worship ceremony.
In fact, many wealthy families really want to engage in special ancestor worship ceremonies, but the real ancestor worship ceremonies are definitely not something ordinary families can do.
Some nouveau riche families want to hold an ancestor worship ceremony but can’t hold up this stage.
Because these people’s ancestors may have buried the ancestors of the last three or four generations in total, and when it comes to their identities, they may all be farmers in the previous generations. There is no tall story to tell for future generations.
Although the peasant class is also very worthy of respect, but in these upper-class societies, the ancestors did not have a strong enough identity background, and it is indeed somewhat ineffective.
Especially in the upper class of Orgeyon.
In addition to comparing money and power, it is the family origin and heritage.
In Orgeyon, there were many elders and children who were in power during the Manchu and Qing dynasties. When the ancestors of these families were in the Qing dynasty, they were all nobles. It was not which elder brother, which Gege, and even the first-rate elders in the dynasty was a member.
Such a family has a strong foundation. When the ancestor worship ceremony, if you take out two or three ancestors’ deeds and read it out, you can immediately give people a feeling of bullying.
The ancestors of the Ye family were also imperial officials. The ordinary family and the ancestors of the ancestors could not wait to build an ancestral hall for this ancestor in his hometown. However, the Ye family, the ancestors of the ancestors were awarded hundreds of scholars and ten of the champions. The top three, including the champion, made a total of 31.
With a history of nearly 300 years in the Qing Dynasty, there were 112 examinations in the imperial ways.
In these nearly three hundred years, a total of more than 20,000 scholars and 114 champions were awarded.
The great Ye family accounted for nearly one-tenth, which was an extremely remarkable achievement.
It is precisely because of the talents of the ancestors that the Ye family can continue to exist for hundreds of years, and it has always been quite strong. Even in the era of war, it was at least a formidable one.
The Ye family has opened branches and leaves for so many years. There are at least tens of thousands of Ye family descendants all over the world, and a considerable number of them have gone overseas.
Their ancestors, going back hundreds of years, are the ancestors of the Ye family.
It’s just that in ancient times, the eldest son inherited the mantle, and the other sons and daughters had to separate their families. Therefore, more and more Ye family members were reduced to collateral families, leaving only the descendant line as the real suzerain family.
It’s like Marven’s father has three brothers. According to the ancient rules, after Marven’s father’s death, the three sons of the Ye family will be separated. By then, the eldest son, Andrew, will inherit most of the family business and residence.
The second and third sons should leave the original Ye family mansion with their family members after three years of filial piety for their father, and start another family by themselves.
In this way, the second son and third son’s two families became Ye family’s collateral family.
At this time, the two collateral families were still relatively close to the suzerain family. After all, the second, third, and eldest brothers were still the brothers of the main one.
But by the time of Marven’s generation, it was Marven’s cousin who inherited the mantle of the suzerain family, so the relationship between the two collateral families and the suzerain family is separated by another generation.
By the time of the third and fourth generations, these two collateral families have also derived several more detailed collateral families, so they are farther away from the suzerain family.
If it lasts for five or six generations, the span may have been more than 100 years.
At that time, they probably don’t know each other at all, and they could only find the names of descendants of other collateral families on the genealogy.
