Malaysian Chinese have generally maintained Confucian funeral traditions since the Ming Dynasty, emphasizing the inheritance of the ritual outlined in the 'Li Ji ? Three-Year Mourning' which advocates the transition from mourning to burial, from burial to sacrificial rites, and from white affairs to red affairs over a period of twenty-five months for a three-year mourning period. This process adheres to a series of ritual norms, completing the rational and emotional integration of family and friends. It transforms the mourning process from grief to respect, enhancing the commemoration of the ancestors' virtues and presence. It facilitates the spiritual return of the deceased to the family, lineage, and community, thus becoming a narrative point for later generations to recount the ancestors or virtuous heroes. Consequently, all commemorative spaces perpetuate the existential meaning of past generations, serving as public domains where the dialogue between the living and the dead, as well as the historical and cultural discourse, continues during festive occasions. This fulfills the profound and distant pursuit of spiritual civilization, affirming the ethnic sentiment in territorial sovereignty, authentically and meaningfully.
