Theresa Banghart on 04 Jan 12Food offerings are a prayer or a wish and can be addressed to ancestors and other beings such as the Jade Emperor and The Kitchen God. The offering of food serves to bring ancestors and other beings in the other world closer to oneself.

haiyun lu on 04 Jan 12This is a really good site with abundant information! I think we can talk about in class to select the ones both Chinese and Americans would like to have. Remember, we don't want to present something so outrages to turn people off. We are the bridge among cultures.
