Note 193 — Chapter XI · FAMILY GRAVEYARDS
Reading edition
Expressions such as pai sao (the extended meaning of which is "to make obeisance to the ancestral spirits and to sweep the tombs") are also well known. In southern China (e.g. at Canton) perhaps the commonest term is pai shan, "to worship (at) the hills"—where in that part of the Empire the majority of the graves are situated.
