East Asian Funerary and Ancestral Rites

Funerary rites of China, Japan and Vietnam that tie the dead to the family line: the Chinese five grades of mourning dress called wufu, the Daoist and Buddhist gongde merit rites, the Shinto funeral of shinsosai and the Vietnamese ancestral funeral rites. A ritual belongs here when its cited article describes a funeral or mourning rite of an East Asian people. It excludes rites of other regions. Examples in the atlas include Wufu Mourning Grades.
