Spirit tablet

A Spirit tablet is a small, wooden plaque used in Chinese religious practices to communicate with spirits, gods, ancestors, or deities. Practitioners inscribe the name or wishes on the tablet, often during rituals or ceremonies, to seek guidance, protection, or blessings. These tablets serve as a spiritual link between the physical world and the spiritual realm, allowing practitioners to honor or invoke spirits. They are commonly placed on altars or in temples, functioning as a respectful and tangible means to maintain spiritual connections and convey prayers.
