Tzu
Tzu (Chin., ‘ancestor’). Respect for, and sustenance of, ancestors is as central in Chinese religion as in any other. They are commemorated on plaques, before which food and offerings are left, and with which conversations are held, so that ancestors remain a part of the family. For the importance of sustaining ancestors in appropriate ways, see HUN; KUEI.
