Ancestor worship (Confucianism/Folk Religions) vs. Reincarnation

you wot m8

it's simply tradition that has gone on for so long it's become "religion"

you don't really think about it, you just *do it* because it's muh tradition

nobody really knows what it all means

>Is ancestor worship consistent with believing in reincarnation?

Yes. This is not a problem for the Chinese because they don't believe in reincarnation, except for the Buddhists amongst them, and the Buddhist Chinese don;t practise ancestor worship.

However they seem to have Buddhist iconography in the same place where they have Confucian statues.
I've seen it in Sanggar Agung temple, though I suppose it may be because it is a common religious place to all Chinese diaspora in Indonesia.

But... does this religious "shared" places exist also in China?

Not consistent, but even so many people continue to believe in both at the same time despite being contradictory.
