In Chinese culture, burning candles in front of ancestors’ graves is usually a way of expressing sorrow and longing for the deceased loved ones.
In addition, some people believe that certain special phenomena during the burning of candles may also have some premonition. For example, a candle going out suddenly may mean that a loved one has been laid to rest. Candles burning very bright or for a long time may express that the spiritual power of the ancestors is very strong and will protect the family from all kinds of disasters.
In addition, if a candle suddenly burns and goes out, one might interpret it as a sign that ancestral spirits are going back and forth, communicating with the living.
