How's the connection between generations influenced by the worships for their ancestors?

Early in the morning,some students from the village Xiadi gather in front of the Ancestral Hall for the traditional music performance to worship their ancestors.

It is the elder who organizes such an activity once a year. In this way, the activity  acts as a bridge between the elder and the young generation in the village.

Another actvity is to go to the temple to light up the lanterns for the family. In Chaoshan area, lantern carries the best wishes for the future generations.

Usually people would go with their family and take the light with hope  back home.

Whenever there is an important activity in the village, such as the worships, some old people would make and sell traditional food on the street, which might be typical of the childhood for adults.

By talking with the elder in the village, some students from Shantou University were collecting the  stories about their ancestors which were shared online later and have touched many young people who grew up in the village but knew little about its history.
