The complete sentence is "I'd rather borrow someone to stop the funeral than borrow someone to become a pair", in fact, the meaning of this sentence is that I would rather lend the house to others for funerals, and I can't let the little couple go home to live together, even if the aunt and girl go home, they can't live togetherThis phenomenon still exists in some rural areas, because if you lend it to someone else for funerals, it will also take away the bad luck of the family, but if the house is lived in by other people's young couples, it will be more unlucky.
In fact, in the past, people did not mind lending their houses to others for funeralsBecause if there is an old man in the family who dies, then it is generally necessary to do it for a few days, and this process is to let the children of other places come back to see the elderly, but often there will be a lot of relatives and friends, but in the past, people's houses were relatively small, so it was difficult to accommodate many people, so they generally asked neighbors to helpThey will borrow the neighbor's house for a funeral or something, and the neighbor will generally not refuse, because in the past, people thought that the funeral was more auspicious and could take away the bad luck of the family, and people thought that the deceased would take away bad luck, so basically people would be willing to help.
In fact, the most important point is that the deceased is the greatest, because people are often helpless when they ask others to borrow, so it is also to be able to bury the deceased as soon as possible, so they will be willingAnd people think that if a very old person dies and borrows his own house, he will think that it is a good thing, because it will also indicate that the family members will also become very longUnlike now, when people think that funerals are more unlucky, it can only be said that people in each era think differently.
Another saying of "not to keep a pair" is "unwilling to borrow people into pairs", which means that the house cannot be used by other couples or couples to live togetherEven if you want to live with each other, you need to be separated, because if two people sleep together, then it is likely to have sex, which is not only disrespectful to the owner, but also very unluckySo in the past, even if the girl and her aunt went back to their parents' house, they needed to let them sleep separately, although now the society does not pay much attention to these, but in some traditional rural places, there is actually still this practice, so it can only be said that the tradition is different in each place.
Sometimes ancient temples are indeed more dangerous than deserted tombs, and there is some truth to this sentence.
