 | | Ancestor worship (拜祖), also ancestor veneration (敬祖), is a religious practice based on the belief that one's ancestors possess supernatural powers. | | | Rather, ancestor worship involves the same sort of religious practices one sees when people appease or supplicate other entities thought to exist and possess supernatural powers, such as gods, angels, saints, or demons. | | | Ancestor worship in some cultures (such as Chinese) seeks only to honor the deeds, memories, and sacrifice of the deceased. |

| | Prior to "cracking the bones", the sacrifices to the appropriate ancestors for that day (each day was sacred to to particular ancestor or ancestor group) were made. | | | The diviner would repeat the process for all five bones, and if the king could not clearly discern an answer in the cracks, or if they indicated that other ancestors needed to be addressed, he would order an animal sacrifice be performed. | | | Religious rituals paying homage to the ancestors of the king played a very important role in the Late Shang, and pyromancy was the primary method of receiving communications from the ancestors. |
