Chapter 1980
Therefore, as the head family of the clan, it is necessary to use the ancestor worship ceremony to summon people from the side families every once in a while.
After everyone gets to know each other, becomes familiar with each other, and worships the common ancestors together, the blood connection will be strengthened.
This is also a necessary way for a large family to maintain strength.
Therefore, the Ye family not only holds an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years, but also revises the entire Ye family genealogy at the ancestor worship ceremony. The fastest update
Between this twelve years and the previous twelve years, new heirs will be born in each family, older generations will die, and young adults will marry.
Therefore, every twelve years, numerous branches of the Ye family have to report their family's population changes in the past twelve years to the clan head family.
At that time, the patriarch's family will select a respected old man to personally renew the genealogy and write down the names, deeds, etc. of these people one by one.
The existing genealogy of the Ye family records the names of millions of descendants of the Ye family, as well as the names of millions of their spouses. For example, a son of the Ye family married a daughter of a certain family, and another example is the name of the Ye family’s son.
The daughter married the son of whose family so-and-so.
Every time the family tree is revised, it is also very grand.
The mother copy of the family tree is stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and is only brought out by the descendants of the Ye family every time they worship their ancestors.
Please come out and after worshiping, you should immediately and respectfully invite the mother back.
Then, renew the new genealogy.
After the new genealogy is renewed, the new genealogy should also be ceremoniously taken back and kept together with the countless previous mother books.
All the Ye family members regard the genealogy as a sacred family object, which is sacred and cannot be desecrated.
The clan head family is the only family that has the right to retain the family tree, so every time a collateral family comes to worship their ancestors, in addition to bowing and bowing to the family tree, they will also have a natural sense of belonging to the clan family.
This is like the ancient emperors and ministers who used complicated etiquette, rituals, strict rules, and inheritance to strengthen the ministers' loyalty to the emperor in their minds.
This is also a major source of support for the patriarchal family to make subordinate families surrender.
However, Ye Chen no longer had any impression of the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony.
The last ancestor worship ceremony was twelve years ago, when he was still in Jinling Welfare Institution;
The last ancestor worship ceremony was twenty-four years ago. He was so young at that time that he had no memory of it at all.
However, although he could no longer find the memory of the ancestor worship ceremony twenty-four years ago, he was still very clear about the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony. He knew that this was an extremely grand ceremony for the Ye family, and it was also a tribute to the ancestors.
The most grand worship ceremony for parents.
Therefore, Ye Chen couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.
He was not looking forward to worshiping the ancestors of the Ye family, he was just looking forward to worshiping his parents in a legitimate, dignified and grand manner.
The last time he followed Gu Yanzhong to pay homage to his parents, he had to pretend to be Gu Yanzhong's driver. He could not go to his parents' graves in an upright and honorable manner as Ye Chen, and this has always been a regret in his heart.
So, he said to Gu Yanzhong: "Uncle Gu, please tell my grandpa that I will go to the ancestor worship ceremony during the Qingming Festival!"
