Incense, traditionally widely used to
worship gods with, has been a vital part for Chinese. It has been a significant
ritual for Chinese to burn incense at the end of a year to send their best
wishes to their ancestors. Home, to many of us, is synonymous with root; that
is to say, we Chinese stress the importance of managing our family and learning
to empathize with our own family members in the hope that we can have a solid
bond with each other and have a fulfilling life. Through burning incense, we
remember our ancestors, solidify our family bonds, learn to be grateful and
filial, and last but not least, learn to be loving.
