To bring back to the past and reciprocate for the origin is rewarding to favor of ancestors, that is to say the role of propriety. A ritual is eventually the social and cultural mechanism to look back into where I came from. Thus the purpose of sacrifice in the Confucianism is primarily in the gratitude and reward for the origin of life, the goal of Ancestral rites can be said to achieve unity with ``spirit`` that is the root of life. Procedures of all sacrifices show that completing the sacrifices by performing a ritual that humans start from the rite of Ying-shen(迎神) meeting the spirit and hold the rite of Song-shen(送神) seeing it off.

The reason that people are arguing is because they are forgetting what we are all one, quarreling with colleagues or friends as well as we an uncertain person and finally arguing with brothers. When this happens, if brothers hold a memorial service for their parents well, what they are one and the same is confirmed by their parents. When it comes down to the moment that is the one, the brothers can live in union. In particular, today there are many families living scattered all over, even if they would like to meet in one place, it is not easy to fix a date. In such a case, they set a date when they can meet everyone at least once a year, the best date might be the anniversary of death. When it comes to the moment to verify the fact that I came from the body of my parents, it turns out to be the truth my parents and I are also in one body. If the scope is widened to not only brothers also cousins, second cousins and third cousins as the opportunity to becomes one with parents, it can be known as all existing things of the world are not different from me. When all the people of the country is one of the mind such as the family, the president is same as our parents and people is valuable such as my children. When the government ruled the country with that in mind, it is downhill all the way to govern a country. It is considered the section that the head of politics deeply has to ruminate today. It is important to understand correctly the type of sacrifices, but things to be more prioritized is to figure out the inherent spirit of sacrifice applying to the real life that we are living and look to the future direction rather than clinging to the past.
