The Arthur family's ancestor worship is the most grand family ceremony in the entire Arthur family.
huge families value ancestor worship, especially huge families with a long history like the Arthur family, which have a fundamental history and many branches, and they attach great importance to ancestor worship ceremony.
In fact, many wealthy families really want to engage in special ancestor worship ceremonies, but the real ancestor worship ceremonies are definitely not something ordinary families can do.
Some nouveau wealth families want to hold an ancestor worship ceremony but can't hold up this stage.
Because these people's ancestors may have buried the ancestors of the last 3 or 4 generations in total, and when it comes to their identities, they may all be farmers in the previous generations. There is no tall story to tell for future generations.
Although the peasant class is also very worthy of respect, but in these upper-class societies, the ancestors did not have a strong enough identity background, and it is indeed somewhat ineffective.
Especially in the upper class of Cliffspring.
In addition to comparing money and power, it is the family origin and heritage.
In Cliffspring, there were many elders and children who were in power during the Manchu and Quiznosang dynasties. When the ancestors of these families were in the Quiznosang dynasty, they were all nobles. It was not which elder brother, which Gege, and even the first-rate elders in the dynasty was a member.
Such a family has a strong foundation. When the ancestor worship ceremony, if you take out 2 or 3 ancestors' deeds and read it out, you can immediately give people a feeling of bullying.
The ancestors of the Arthur family were also imperial officials. The ordinary family and the ancestors of the ancestors could not wait to build an ancestral hall for this ancestor in his hometown. However, the Arthur family, the ancestors of the ancestors were awarded 100s of scholars and 10 of the champions. The top 3, including the champion, made a total of 31.
With a history of nearly 300 years in the Quiznosang Dynasty, there were 112 examinations in the imperial ways.
In these nearly 3 hundred years, a total of more than 20 thousand scholars and 114 champions were awarded.
The great Arthur family accounted for nearly one-tenth, which was an extremely remarkable achievement.
It is precisely because of the talents of the ancestors that the Arthur family can continue to exist for 100s of years, and it has always been quite strong. Even in the era of war, it was at least a formidable one.
The Arthur family has opened branches and leaves for so many years. There are at least tens of thousands of Arthur family descendants all over the world, and a considerable number of them have gone overseas.
Their ancestors, going back 100s of years, are the ancestors of the Arthur family.
It's just that in ancient times, the eldest son inherited the mantle, and the other sons and daughters had to separate their families. Therefore, more and more Arthur family members were reduced to collateral families, leaving only the descendant lense as the real Gallion family.
It's like Chris's father has 3 brothers. According to the ancient rules, after Chris's father's death, the 3 sons of the Arthur family will be separated. By then, the eldest son, Oxwald, will inherit most of the family business and residence.
The 2nd and 3rd sons should leave the original Arthur family mansion with their family members after 3 years of filial piety for their father, and start another family by themselves.
In this way, the 2nd son and 3rd son's 2 families will become Arthur family's collateral family.
At this time, the 2 collateral families were still relatively close to the Gallion family. After all, the 2nd, 3rd, and eldest brothers were still the brothers of the main one.
But by the time of Chris's generation, it was Chris's cousin who inherited the mantle of the Gallion family, so the relationship between the 2 collateral families and the Gallion family is separated by another generation.
By the time of the 3rd and fourth generations, these 2 collateral families have also derived several more detailed collateral families, so they are farther away from the Gallion family.
If it lasts for or generations, the span may have been more than 100 years.
At that time, they probably don't know each other at all, and they could only find the names of descendants of other collateral families on the genealogy.
