Ancestral Tablets at Shuntak Association Taiping

ANCESTRAL TABLET

It is the practice of Chinese worldwide to remember the deceased by erecting a memorial tablet or by displaying the photograph of the departed.  It signifies the observation of filial piety by way of ancestral worship. 

At Shun Tak Association Taiping , there are a total of 305 tablets dating back to the 1800’s.  It is interesting to note that a piece of wood is wedged at the back of the tablet detailing the date of birth and death as well as the village of origin.

At a later stage, it is our hope to document every single piece of tablet and to methodically arrange them so that the descendants  can trace their roots.  

  

 

在中华文化中，华人是以立牌位及相片纪念祖先。立牌位祭祖是后辈尽孝道的方式。

始于1800年，太平顺德会馆设有305座牌位。每座牌位后方备有先人生辰、仙逝日期及籍贯。

我们希望通过系统化的资料管理，让后辈追寻其根源。
