情報簡介
．
每年農曆四月、春分或清明節，農曆九月、秋分或重陽節，都是祭祀祖先的日子。不少宗族如新界鄧族、文族、廖族、九龍竹園的林族等，會於祠堂內或前往祖先墓地前進行祭祀，以表孝道，慎終追遠。
祭祖儀式中，宗族成員會使用圍頭或客家話誦讀祝文、吹奏嗩吶、成員依輩份向祖先上香、奠酒，獻上燒豬、白飯、白酒等祭品，再領豬肉錢等，繁複的儀式全為表達出後人對祖先的敬重。部份宗族至今更保留了「食山頭」習俗——墓祭時帶備炊具和原隻生豬到墓旁烹煮盆菜，供族中成員享用，感受祖先的恩澤。

Social practices, rituals and festive events
Intel brief
．
Every 4th lunar month, vernal equinox or Ching Ming Festival, as well as every 9th lunar month, autumnal equinox or Chung Yeung Festival, are all days for ancestral worship. Clans such as the Tangs, Mans and Lius in the New Territories and the Lams of Chuk Yuen in Kowloon, will hold ancestral worshipping ceremony in their ancestral halls or visit the graves of their forefathers so as to observe filial piety and to pay tribute to their ancestors.
In an ancestral worship ritual, the clan members will use Wai Tau or Hakka dialect to read the oration and play the suona. The clansmen will, in the order of their seniority, worship their ancestors by offering incense sticks, wine and sacrifices including roasted pork, rice and wine. The descendants will also receive ‘pork money’ (money distributed by the clan). These complicated rituals are all there to show respects of the offspring to their ancestors. Some of the clans still follow the custom of ‘Sek Shan Tou’ (Eating on the Hillside). They will bring along the cookware and a whole uncooked pig to prepare punchoi (basin feast) for the clan members by the grave, signifying the sharing of blessings of ancestors.
