Definition
供品 refers to items placed on an altar or shrine as offerings to gods, deities, or ancestors — typically food, incense, candles, or paper money. This is a culture-specific term rooted in Chinese religious and folk traditions; the English 'offering' captures the concept but lacks the ritual context, so you'll hear it in discussions about temple visits, ancestor worship, and festivals like Qingming.
