The Basket of Ancestors' Spirit

Piety to the spirit of ancestors is central to Ita Thao's religious beliefs. Every family has a basket of their ancestors' spirit, in which the clothes of ancestors are reserved, representing the existence of the spirit. During important festivals such as the Sowing Festival, the Eel Festival and the Harvest Festival, people always hold religious services to the basket. They offer the ancestors wine and rice while delivering their prayers.

公媽籃
伊達邵宗教信仰的核心是祖靈信仰。每戶人家都有一只公媽籃(祖靈籃),籃內盛著祖先遺留下來的衣飾,以代表祖靈的存在。拜公媽籃是伊達邵主要的宗教及巫術的呈現對象與方式。凡是族中的重要祭儀,諸如:播種祭、拜鰻祭、豐年祭等,都以公媽籃為供奉的對象,族人備有酒、飯等獻品,用以祈告祖靈。
