Usually three or six dishes can be put in the tribute during the Spring Festival. If you have three dishes, you can put a plate of meat, a plate of heart in stock and a plate of fruit.

How many sacrifices were placed? Due to different local customs, the offerings are also different. For example, the sacrificial offerings of South Guangdong and Guangxi: a cooked chicken, a piece of cooked meat, six bowls of cooked noodles, two kilograms of raw noodles, a bowl of seasonal fruit, two kilograms of candy or biscuits, three cups of tea, three cups of wine, two kilograms of snacks and six bowls of rice.

Matters needing attention in ancestor worship in New Year.

The placement of bowls and chopsticks mainly depends on local customs. As the saying goes, a hundred miles of different customs, a hundred miles of different sounds. Sacrificing ancestors during the Chinese New Year is usually to cook a hearty New Year's Eve dinner, and then prepare some incense and chopsticks for these delicious foods. Another special way is to invite ancestors home for the New Year. This requires going to the graveyard to burn incense on the morning of New Year's Eve and respectfully inviting ancestors to go home for the New Year. Add a proper amount of incense after the New Year's Eve as a tribute to the ancestors.
