In the case of burying the dead, leaving the coffin in temples and other places for future burial can also be called stopping the spirit. Wake: During the wake, relatives and friends who have been present, especially the younger generation of the deceased, take turns to guard the deceased in the mourning hall and accept the condolences of the mourners. During the whole funeral, the younger generation (called dutiful son/dutiful daughter) close to the deceased wore white coarse linen clothes or jackets without seams, tied with straw ropes or hemp ropes at the waist and sandals at the feet, which was called mourning clothes. Big coat: in front of family members, move the deceased into a coffin with a mattress, cover it with a quilt, and nail it to seal the coffin. Wealthy families may use an inner coffin and an outer coffin for placing funerary objects. Funeral and burial: send the coffin to the cemetery for burial. The sign of the beginning of the funeral is that the dutiful son will break a earthen basin, which is called "throwing the basin". Led by a dutiful son holding a "spirit guide", a band played and distributed paper money to the cemetery along the way. The burial ceremony was assisted by Feng Shui master. Burning Seven: After burial, relatives and friends visit the cemetery every seven days and burn paper money, seven times a day * * * for forty-nine days. There are similar activities such as calling souls and burning paper money, which are called "doing seven". The ceremony on the 49th day is called "Breaking Seven", which is the end of the formal funeral. Filial piety: According to the tradition of Confucianism, the dutiful son should be guarded around his parents' graves for three years, during which he should avoid entertainment, drinking and eating meat, and sharing the same room with his husband and wife. Memorial tablet: Family members sacrifice incense sticks to a memorial tablet with the name of the deceased written on it. Grave-sweeping: relatives and friends repaired and cleaned the cemetery during their stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Edit this paragraph China funeral customs.
Funeral etiquette is a special culture handed down by China for 5,000 years. There is a big gap between different regions, even in villages with dozens of miles of sunshine, some speeches and practices are not the same. The following etiquette should be popular in Houcun Town in Lanshan District. I don't quite understand some of these statements, and I hope those who know these etiquette can correct me. If someone dies in someone else's home, you must give someone some money to apologize before moving the body. Even if the house belongs to the son-in-law, you don't have to give money only when your immediate relatives die (immediate relatives refer to sons and grandchildren), and the money doesn't care how much. Nowadays, many people who have died are in hospitals. Generally, the remains do not need to be moved home and sent directly to the funeral home. There is no question of who to give money to. In short, the less the remains move, the better. When the body is moved, the children directly under it are usually beside to comfort the body, for example, don't be afraid of so-and-so, everyone will take you to your new home, etc., which depends on people. If you die at home, you need to summon the soul when the body moves. The method is to take a burning note and move it around the wall. If the burning note is fixed in that place, it means that the soul of the deceased is there. Then use the burning note to collect the soul, hand it out from the window, put it next to the body, and enter the cremation furnace with the body. Paper banners, people who have a funeral, should be pasted and cut on a wooden stick with burning paper and placed in front of the mourning hall. The wooden stick should be made of willow (what does it mean to have burning paper on the wooden stick? ), a burning paper is posted on the door leaf, which means that someone in the family has died (it should be a burning paper posted on the man's death and a white paper posted on the woman). The dutiful son can't go in and out of the house freely, and all foreign affairs activities must stop. (For these, many people have been asked, but they don't understand. Those who understand are welcome to correct me.) The mourning hall is a temporary residence for the dead, which is temporarily used for future generations or younger generations to visit and support. Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards, the remains in cities are generally not kept at home, (in rural areas, they are still mostly kept at home. ) put a funeral at a table.
Just a portrait, a tree in front of the portrait, folded in white, written on it, how old and how old he died, and so on. The table must be square, and then put four kinds, which are fish, meat, eggs and noodles, and fruit, but peaches are not allowed in the fruit (what are the meanings of the four dishes? Why can't peaches be served? ）。 At the front is a furnace of incense and an ever-burning lamp (the lamp should be made from a plate, first find a plate, pour peanut oil into it, and then rub a slender wick with cotton and ignite it. The cotton wick should burn for three days). From then on, the incense and the ever-burning lamp can't be extinguished, only when the body is moved out or the coffin is taken away. It can't be extinguished by human beings, and it will spontaneously extinguish itself. Put a jar in front of the table, called cornucopia (there is a vulgar name, called Laopen). All the burned "money" is put in this jar and broken at the time of funeral. The detailed time is when the coffin is lifted by "weightlifting". Send the disc field (sound meaning, personally think it should be to send the travelling expenses. ), on the evening of the second day after his death, (there is also a third day, usually no more than three days), when he saw me off, the eldest son held the coffin, and the male directly under him took a cane (that is, the wooden stick stained with burning paper mentioned above) to make the old man walk (be sure to lean on the cane with both hands and arch his waist). ), (if the deceased is a male elder, a female elder or a younger generation, I don't know how to behave) The rest of the descendants followed, whispered prayers, and called the deceased to take money and send it to the crossroads. After burning money, draw a circle to show that the money does not overflow. After the burning, the relatives walked home crying. After returning to the mourning hall, he continued to cry about his portrait and coffin. At this time, the general men were inside the house and the women were outside. Then continue to the crossroads and burn paper horses (male elders burn paper horses, female elders burn paper cows, and the younger generation doesn't know what to burn? ) cry bitterly after falling to the ground, and then go back to the mourning hall in the order you came. Bow down, bow down in the mourning hall is generally four heads, and the children who died are around the mourning hall. After coming, others kowtow a few heads, and the children who died must respond to several heads. The so-called return gift on behalf of the elders (usually the eldest grandson is the gift, directly under the male and directly under the female. ）。 I don't know how many heads are kowtowed in other places. There are three and four. The etiquette there is to kowtow to four heads, which means three gods and four ghosts, three kowtows to immortals and four kowtows to ghosts. In the coffin shed (that is, the coffin shed built before the funeral, not the mourning hall). You don't have to build it. The place is generally fixed, and every village has a fixed place. ), there are nine kowtows. At this time, it is generally the son-in-law of the deceased who kowtows with the in-laws of the deceased. At this time, it is a bow and a bow, and four kowtows are four diligent, and the children of the deceased also bow and bow with the bowing people (usually grandchildren, nephews metabolism. ), and then go forward three steps, bow down again, hold incense in the air first, and then toast three cups (women don't know if this is the case. ), and then take three steps back, bowing four times and kowtowing four times, which is four laziness. There are nine * * * before and after, which is in line with the saying of three worships and nine kowtows. When others go to worship, the son and grandson return the gift, and the daughter usually cries at the table. The meaning of "Four Diligences" means "one bowing and one prostrating", "Four Lazies" means "one bowing and four prostrating", and there is a gap between them. In Rizhao's view, it is called "Four Diligences and Four Lazies". Filial piety is divided into filial piety and filial piety. Filial piety means children, sons, daughters, grandchildren, etc. Filial piety means a white coat and white shoes for men, and white trousers and white shoes for women. If grandchildren and sons are not married, they just need to wrap their heads. If they are married, they need to wear a white coat and be filial. Filial piety is a son-in-law, a consort, who only needs a white cloth around his waist. Wrapping the head is also very particular. If the deceased is a male, the knot is on the left; if the deceased is a female, the knot is on the right, provided that there is still an elder alive, such as grandpa and grandma. Grandpa died and grandma is still alive, so the knot is on the left. If grandma died later, there is no need to tie the knot on the left, just in the middle. Knowledgeable people generally know who died and who else is at home when they look at the mourning clothes and knots. At the funeral, the son, daughter and grandson were in front, and they used to hold the coffin. Now they usually take photos and walk in front, followed by the coffin bearer. The filial son, daughter and grandson turn around and kowtow to the coffin to show their respect for their elders. In ancient times, funerals were very grand, but now it seems that there are not many sayings. Generally, the children or family members of the deceased can put a few tables at home or in a restaurant. Weightlifting is the person who carries the coffin. Generally speaking, these people don't need to be paid, as long as they are invited to have a drink together when they are buried. Round grave, on the third day after his death, got up early in the morning, went to round grave and renovated it, because on the day of burial, it is usually enough to add the hole. The three-day grave should be early, so-called three days early and seven days late (why three days early and seven days late? ）。 Circle the grave, that is, under the leadership of the eldest son, everyone around the grave, holding a hook, turn left three times, from turn three times, which generally means to circle the wall for the dead. I don't know much about funeral, mourning, round grave and circle grave. Welcome to correct me and give me reference. I hope you can correct me.
