[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9755393, member: 360"]The first item is a shrine table or altar table. It's where you pray to your ancestors, and where you might place the shrine-cabinet (if you have one) or place a censer and stone name-tablets, etc (if you don't have a cabinet). As mentioned, these are still made today. The second piece looks like a shelving unit for housing & displaying decorative objects - porcelain, jade, etc. I'm not sure it has any real religious / familial significance.[/QUOTE]
