Ancestor Veneration
Veneration of the dead is based on the belief that the deceased, often family members, have a continued existence and/or possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living.

How Heathens Correct a Wrong
In the Christian culture, you ask for forgiveness and you receive it. Admitting fault and saying “sorry” puts the wrong in the past. The Christian god just wants his followers to ask forgiveness, and he gives it. And Christians are told to grant forgiveness to other people, in much the same way.
