This is an altar with traditional Chinese meaning and special family characteristics. On this altar, the objects displayed more reflect the family's religious beliefs and memories of loved ones. Part of the emotion that is expressed in this altar is a genuine yearning for loved ones and part of the family's aspirations and expectations for something else. The censer is an essential part of a traditional altar, gold ingot represents a business family's vision for a prosperous business, tea has always been a favorite before the death of a loved one, and chrysanthemum is the most commonly used flower by many Chinese people when offering sacrifices to the dead. In general, it is both an altar to worship the dead and an altar to express the expextations of life.
