The living wished the ancestors were able to continue to live in the same house with them, and bless them in cases of disasters. The tabernacles, indifferent shapes, all look like inhabitable houses, with frames, eaves, gate and windows, and characters which mean blessing, fortune, age, joy and safety. When the ancestors and deities were satisfied and pleased would the living be blessed with ample food and clothing.

生活着的人希望先人们仍与她们共同生活,共同居住,共同抵抗灾难。 因此,不同形式的神龛都象一座座居住人的房屋,有屋架,有房檐,有门窗,还有福、禄、寿、喜、平安。 总之,祖先幸福了,神高兴了,活着的人们才会丰衣足食。
