Spirit tablets

Spirit tablets are a form of communication used in Chinese tradition, particularly in ancestor veneration and various spiritual practices. They are typically made from paper or other materials and are inscribed with requests or messages for deceased relatives or spirits. During ceremonies, these tablets are burned as an offering, symbolizing the transfer of the messages to the spirit world. This act is believed to honor the deceased and seek their blessings, guidance, or help in the everyday lives of the living. Overall, spirit tablets serve as a tangible connection between the living and the spiritual realm.
