I apologize for any confusion caused. The most accurate answer would be "Honored ancestors protected the living." In traditional Chinese culture, ancestors were believed to have a direct influence on the lives of their descendants. By honoring and paying respect to ancestors, Chinese people believed that they could receive blessings, protection, and guidance. It was believed that neglecting or disrespecting ancestors could lead to suffering or misfortune.
