Abstract
In the article, based on the analysis of traditional culture, the features of memorial and traditional rites reflecting the semantics of the cult meal of the Kazakhs are revealed, which corresponds to their religious and moral worldview and spiritual and practical development of the surrounding world. Recognition of the law - norms, principles, ideals that act as moral criteria proper, means that economic, political, ideological and other specific tasks not only do not predetermine the solution of each individual moral problem, but on the contrary, the ways and methods of implementing these tasks are assessed by morality, from the point of view of the criteria of goodness, justice, humanity, honesty. Within the framework of the cultural-philosophical approach, the established system of real and symbolic family ties determines the mechanism of human adaptation to the social environment, where tradition is perceived as direct communication with ancestors who are no longer among the living. This system, first of all, reflects the ancient religious worldview based on the belief in the patronage of good spirits. Ancestors in our historical memory are always associated with good spirits.
