"Banh Chung" (Chung cake) is one of the most popular and delicious traditional Vietnamese dishes. According to the legend, Chung cake was invented by Prince Lang Lieu - the 18th Prince of Hung Emperor, in the contest of looking for new Emperor. It has become an irreplaceable cake of Vietnamese people at Tet and King Hung's anniversary (10th March of the Lunar calendar).

Chung cake is made from sticky rice, pork, green beans, pepper and onions. It is wrapped in dong leaves (lá dong). The cake will be boiled for about 12 hours over a wood burning stove.

In Vietnam, the process of making Chung cake is the opportunity for family to come together. All members in the family often make Chung cake together and then sit around the warm fire to boil it. Nowadays, in some big cities, the busy life of modern society prevents people from preparing the cake, however, the habit of worship ancestors with Chung cake never changes.

Vietnamese people don't make Chung cake to worship ancestors any more.

III. Read the passage about ancestor worship, and do the tasks that follow.

Ancestor Worship

            Ancestor worship is a religious practice based on the belief that one's ancestors possess supernatural powers, such as gods, angels, saints, or demons.

            Ancestor worship in some cultures honors the deeds, memories, and sacrifice of the deal. Much of the worship includes visiting the ancestors at their graves, making offerings to them to provide for their welfare in the afterlife.

            Spirit money (also called Hell Notes) is sometimes burned as an offering to ancestors as well for the afterlife. The living may regard the ancestors as“guardian angels” to them, perhaps in protecting them from serious accidents, or guiding their path in life.

            Families burned incense every day on the domestic ancestral altar. In China, the family altar house the family spirit tablets. On the outer surface of the spirit tablet is engraved the year of the death, his full name, and the name of the son who erects the tablet.

            Anniversary rites take place the death date of each major deceased member of the family every year.Sacrificial food is offered, and living members of the family participate in the ceremony in ritual order based on age and generation.
