Ancestor worship was an integral part of Chinese culture for many centuries. It played an important part in each family's clan life.
Ancestor figures were cherished and honoured daily with an offering of incense. This was believed to protect the home and family members.

Chinese "kin", lineage, is also known as a "clan". These are families of direct male descendants sharing the same surname.
Clans are still most active in the southern and eastern provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Jianxi, and Zhenjiang, where they were historically the strongest, but are also found around the north.
