god(s) Explanation: Jìngxiāng (敬香 "offering incense with respect"), shàngxiāng (上香 "offering incense"), bàishén (拜神 "worshipping the Gods"), is a ritual of offering incense accompanied by tea and or fruits in Chinese traditional religion. In ancestral religious worship it's jìngzǔ (敬祖 "veneration of the ancestor") or bàizǔ 拜祖 ("worship of the ancestor"). It is observed by a devotee holding joss incense with both hands in front of an altar during the worship. For greater reverence or devotion, the devotee will kneel and bow before the altar during and after placing the incense inside the urn at the altar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingxiang https://hongkongfreetours.com/man-mo-temple/ |

major god Explanation: With all my respects, I guess the deity could be a major god, as compared with a minor god. For your reference only. |
