There are many reasons why the coffins of ancient kings were left for several months before they were buried, but let's briefly talk about some of them.

The first reason is that the ancient kings had to accept the condolences of the clan and ** after their deaths, and many distant dignitaries and dignitaries need a certain amount of time to arrive, and their burial in a hurry will affect the mood of the mourners. We all know that communication and transportation in ancient times were not developed, and the news after the death of the king could not be transmitted to all parts of the country at the first time, and it took a certain amount of time for the clans and ** to rush to the palace to harass and shout condolences to the king after receiving the news of the king's death. Therefore, the burial of the king's coffin after a few months is also to facilitate the opportunity for dignitaries and dignitaries who came from afar to pay their respects to the king.

The second reason is that the tombs of ancient kings are very large, and the burial goods are also very rich, and the main reason for placing their coffins for a few months before burial is to have more time to arrange their tombs. After all, as the richest man in ancient times, the king began to build a mausoleum for himself since the day he ascended the throne, and by the time of his death, the tomb of Ling Zhao Li Bar may have been built very large, so it will take a certain amount of time to decorate it. If the decoration of the mausoleum and the burial goods were not properly arranged, the king's coffin would not have been buried.

The third reason is that ancient people were very particular about etiquette and wanted to choose a better day for the king to be buried. In fact, according to the regulations of the Zhou rites, the king must park the coffin for three months before it can be buried, so many dynasties that follow the Zhou rites will place the king's coffin in accordance with the rules of the Zhou rites. Moreover, the ancients believed in those feng shui metaphysics, I Ching gossip and the like, especially in the matter of the king's funeral, they were more cautious, and they could not be sloppy at all.

Immediately after the death of the king, the relevant authorities will check the most appropriate day of the following year and designate that day as the day on which the king's coffin will be laid.

The reason is that these emperors still need to accept a lot of condolences after their deaths, and some of them are far away and cannot be reached at the first time, and it is also because there are a lot of burial goods in them, so they also need to arrange the mausoleum.

This is because after the death of the ancient king, it is necessary to accept the condolences of some court ** and the clan of the Zong Trembling Hand, and then the funeral goods of these ancient kings are also very large, and the scale of the tomb is relatively large, so it takes some time to arrange.

Because you need to find a suitable day, and the ancient people paid more attention to feng shui, and Lu Liquid also paid more attention to customs and taboos, so it will drag on for a long time. Respectfully.

Contraindications for the burial of the deceased.

1. The deceased's clothing is taboo to use satin fabrics.

The old people used to call the clothes they wore after death "shroud", and after the age of 60, some old people began to prepare shrouds.

The number and texture of the shroud are very particular. The number of pieces is generally.

singular numbers such as five, seven, nine, etc., not even numbers; The material is mostly silk, because "silk" and "thick" homonym, implying that future generations have many children and grandchildren, and it is taboo to use satin, because "satin" and "broken" homonym.

2. Willow wood is taboo for coffins.

Willow wood is taboo for coffins, and according to legend, it is because willows do not bear seeds, and they are worried that they will be extinct.

2. The date of the funeral should not be chosen on the day of the funeral.

Heavy mourning, heavy and repetitive, double meaning, meaning more than one funeral, refers to the situation that within 100 days after a person's death, or about a year after the death of a person, and someone in the family or relatives has passed away one after another.

The custom is exquisite, and the day of the funeral must avoid the heavy mourning day, so as to avoid the death of a loved one in the family.

3. During the period of filial piety, it is taboo to visit relatives and friends, especially to participate in happy events.

Within 100 days of the death of an immediate family member, it is best to stay at home and do not travel, visit relatives and friends, etc., unless it is necessary, so as not to bring your own sadness to others.

Especially weddings, business openings, celebrations of the birth of a baby and other happy events, it is best not to attend.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature. For the deceased, people in particular give due respect, and this respect is mainly reflected in the funeral rites. Funeral customs are a reflection of social politics, religion, economy and culture, and are an important part of folk culture.

For example, most of the Han people practice burial, and the deceased pay attention to "entering the earth for peace".

Before the burial, relatives will also gather together to hold various forms of "farewell" and "prayer" for the deceased, although the customs vary from place to place, but in ancient times, the deceased generally waited until seven days had elapsed before being buried in the earth. In the face of this custom, people are easily reminded of the "burning seven", that is, after the death of a person, a spiritual seat is set up from the "first seven", and sacrifices are made in the morning and evening, and a Buddhist service is done every seven days, and fasting is set up to pay tribute, and the spirit is removed on the 49th day of the "seventh seven".

There is also a saying among the people that the deceased "returns to the soul in seven days", which should be all a rhetoric. The reason why the body is placed for seven days before burial is not the so-called superstition, but from the case of a miracle doctor in ancient times. This miracle doctor is Bian Que during the Warring States Period.

There is a legend that one day in a certain year, Bian Que came to the country of Yu in the area of Henan and Shaanxi, and heard that the prince of the country suddenly died violently. After inquiry, Bian Que thought that the prince was suffering from a sudden fainting and unconscious"Cadaver syncope" syndrome, and not really death. The doctor is benevolent, and Bian Que, who learned the news, entered the palace as the crown prince after obtaining the consent of the monarch.

After treatment, the prince miraculously woke up from death. Bian Que prescribed medicine to the prince again, and asked him to continue to adjust yin and yang, and within a few days, the prince was cured.

Since then, Bian Que's fame has become even greater, and he is also known as a miracle doctor who can bring people back to life. Bian Que said: "I can't save the dead, it's just that some people are fake deaths, and ordinary people can't see it."

Since then, in order to prevent people from being buried due to fake death, the custom of leaving the body for seven days has been formed.

The ancients had many notes**, there were descriptions of the plot of fake death, some people died violently, were buried in a hurry, and as a result, the tomb was robbed and tossed alive, because of the misjudgment caused by fake death. Therefore, the ancients placed the body for seven days before burial, not because of superstition, but to prevent the occurrence of tragedy caused by fake death.

In ancient times, the deceased generally waited until seven days had elapsed before they could be buried in the ground. It is also said that the body was placed for seven days before being buried, not because of superstition, but to prevent the tragedy caused by fake death.
