Father
God as personal, caring Father. Distinguish from ancestor veneration (拜祖先), still actively practiced through village ancestral halls (祠堂) and the Ching Ming (清明) and Chung Yeung (重陽) grave-sweeping festivals central to Cantonese/Pearl River Delta family life — venerated ancestors are cared for by descendants, the reverse direction of the biblical Father who cares for his children.
