Chinese Taoism and the Dead

In Chinese Taoism, although known more as a philosphical worldview than a religion, it does contain belief in gods, ghosts and ancestral spirits.
The "gods" are good and help the side of good on earth.
The ghosts are bad and need to be appeased through either sacrifices or name control. Especially during the Chinese ghost festival.
The ancestral spirits are honored by rituals. They trace through the male ancestral line.
But what does God say about the dead?
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52
