Therefore, as the suzerain family, it is necessary to use the ceremony of worshipping the ancestors to gather people from the collateral family at regular intervals.
After you get to know and get acquainted with each other, and after worshipping the common ancestor together, the connection between bloodlines will be strengthened.
This is also a necessary way for large families to maintain their strength.
Therefore, the Ye family not only holds an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years, but also revises the entire Ye family’s genealogy at the ancestor worship ceremony.
Between these twelve year and the last twelve years, each family will have a new heir born, an older generation will die, and young adults will marry.
Therefore, every twelve years, countless branches of the Ye family report the population changes of their family over the past twelve years to the suzerain family.
At that time, the suzerain family will select a respected Old Master to personally 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 Ye family descendants, as well as the names of millions of their spouses, such as Ye family’s son XX, whose daughter XX was married, or the Ye family daughter married to whose son so so and so on.
Each revision of the genealogy is also very grand.
The female parent of the genealogy is stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and is invited out by the descendants of the Ye family every time the ancestor worships.
They come out and after the worship, they must immediately and respectfully invite the mother back.
Later, renew the new genealogy.
After the renewal of the new genealogy is completed, grandly invite the new genealogy back, and keep it together with the countless parents.
All the Ye family members regard the genealogy as a family sacred object, sacred and inviolable.
The suzerain family is the only family that has the right to retain the genealogy. Therefore, every time a collateral family comes to worship the ancestors, in addition to three bows and nine worships to the genealogy, it will also have a natural sense of belonging to the suzerain family.
This is like the ancient emperor and ministers, through cumbersome etiquette, rituals, and strict rules and inheritance, to strengthen the Director’s mind, the idea of loyalty to the emperor is essential.
This is also a great support for the suzerain family to let the collateral family bow their heads.
However, Marven has no impression of Ye Family’s ancestor worship ceremony.
The last ancestor worship ceremony was twelve years ago, when he was still in Wrestvel Welfare Institute;
The last ancestor worship ceremony was twenty-four years ago. At that time, he was too young, so young that he has no memory of this incident.
However, although he can no longer find the memory of the ancestor worship ceremony 24 years ago, he is still very clear about the Ye Family’s ancestor worship ceremony. The grandest worship ceremony for parents.
Therefore, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
He wasn’t expecting to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ye family. He just expected to pay respect to his parents in a respectable, upright, grand, and pompous manner.
The last time he followed Philip to worship his parents, he had to pretend to be Philip’s driver, and he failed to walk to his parents’ grave with his true identity and kowtow. This has always been a regret in his mind.
So he said to Philip: “Uncle, please tell my grandfather that I will come to the ancestor worship ceremony at Qingming Festival!”
