Ancestral Tablets in Chinese Ancestral Worship Practices

Ancestral Tablets
Ancestral tablets, also known as ancestor tablets, spirit tablets, or memorial tablets, are sacred vessels that embody the spirit of one’s ancestors.

This tradition, deeply rooted in filial piety, dates back to the Shan Dynasty, with the practice being more codified during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It signifies respect and the enduring connection between the living and the departed.

The practice is attributed to a farmer named Ding Lan, a figure in early Chinese history who formalised the use of memorial tablets. Ding Lan’s mother, a revered matriarch, played a significant role in this tradition by inspiring the practice of honouring ancestors with dedicated tablets.

By venerating these tablets, families honour their ancestors and invite their blessings and protection into their homes, preserving a sacred bond across generations.

 Nirvana Memorial Garden
As society has evolved, so too has the practice. Ancestral tablets have adapted to modern lifestyles while retaining their spiritual significance. Nirvana Memorial Garden offers beautifully designed, air-conditioned halls for housing ancestral tablets, blending traditional reverence with contemporary comfort.

This evolution ensures that the practice of ancestor worship remains relevant and accessible, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.

House Your Ancestral Tablets at Nirvana Memorial Garden’s Ancestral Hall

Traditionally, ancestral tablets (also called spirit tablet, ancestor pedestal or memorial tablet) were housed on family altars at home, but as times have changed and space has become limited, many families prefer placing ancestral tablets in Buddhist temples or memorial parks.

At Infinity Legacy, we recommend Nirvana Memorial Garden Singapore as an ideal alternative for enshrining ancestral tablets.

Ancestral Halls at Nirvana Memorial Garden

Nirvana Memorial Garden features eight ancestral halls, each carefully designed to blend spirituality with modern comfort. These halls are adorned with Buddha statues and carvings that depict the chanting of mantras, creating a deeply spiritual environment.

With air-conditioning and luxurious interiors, these halls provide a serene and comfortable space for families to gather and pay respects to their ancestors.

Ancestral Tablets

Our ancestral tablets are crafted from high-quality materials like crystal and jade, chosen for their durability and spiritual significance. Families can choose from a variety of designs, from classic styles to more elaborate ones with symbolic motifs, allowing for a tablet that reflects their devotion.

Customise Your Ancestral Tablet

We offer comprehensive services that include personalised inscriptions, the addition of photos, and ceremonial rituals for the installation of the tablets.

Once the design is finalised, our team will engrave the tablet, a process that can take more than 30 days due to its intricacy. Upon completion, we will coordinate with the family to arrange the installation ceremony with dignity and respect.

A Guide to the Ancestral Tablet Installation Ceremony

The installation (or rising) ceremony for ancestral tablets is a deeply symbolic ritual, rooted in filial piety and respect for one’s lineage. It signifies the connection between the living and their ancestors, a vital component of many Asian cultures.

Purification Ritual

The ceremony typically begins with a purification ritual.

This may involve the lighting of incense and the recitation of prayers to cleanse any negative energies and to prepare the environment. The purpose of this ritual is to create a serene and sacred space suitable for welcoming ancestral spirits.

Invocation by Religious Leaders

Next, a monk or Taoist priest usually leads the ceremony.

The religious leader guides the family in prayers and chants that are meant to invite the spirits of their ancestors to inhabit the newly created ancestral tablets. This invocation is a sacred moment that bridges the physical and spiritual realms.

Placement of Ancestral Tablets

After the spirits have been invoked, the ancestral tablets are carefully placed in their designated niches within the columbarium or memorial hall.

This step symbolises the ancestors taking their rightful place in the spiritual and familial hierarchy, ensuring their presence remains honoured and remembered.
