Traditional culture in China.

Weddings, funerals, and ceremonies have their own rules. On such an important day as the Spring Festival, these rules will change. When an elder in the family passes away, what should you pay attention to during the Spring Festival in the first year?

No red couplets are pasted.

Red is a symbol of festivity, and in order to express mourning and respect for the deceased elders, red couplets cannot be pasted on the Spring Festival in the first year. Generally, the first year is not pasted couplets, if you want to paste, you can only paste white, until the fourth year of the Spring Festival can be pasted red couplets.

At the same time, firecrackers should not be set off, and the clothing should be simple and plain, and bright clothes should not be worn. In some places, the time is staggered, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten in advance on the 28th day of the lunar month.

Don't go to lively places.

The ancients said: "Filial piety comes first, and the Chinese attach great importance to the matter of keeping filial piety." When an elder in the family has passed away, the family should be as quiet as possible during the Spring Festival in the first year and avoid laughter.

During the festival, you should not attend gatherings with friends, try not to go to public places, and avoid crowded places when you go out. In addition, it is not possible to go to the temple and Buddha hall, because these two places are taboo for the deceased, and going to the gods and Buddhas will be offended.

Sacrifices are not red.

In the first Spring Festival after the death of the elders, the sacrificial items should not be as red as in previous years. The chopsticks offered should not be red, all kinds of dishes should not be dyed red, and all kinds of cakes containing red for the New Year.

It should be replaced with white, such as the jujube dumplings dyed in the past, and the bald dumplings similar to steamed buns should be replaced. In addition, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is necessary to go to the cemetery to pay respects to the elders and bring the deceased elders home for the New Year.

Don't go around for New Year's greetings.

If an elder in the family has passed away, the Spring Festival of the first year should be closed.

Don't go to the homes of relatives and friends or pay New Year's greetings, otherwise you will be unlucky.

Take it to someone else's home. If you want to visit relatives, it is best to walk around during the wax moon, and you can't visit other people's sick old people. From the first to the third day of the new year, you can't go out, you can't participate in happy events, and you can't have personal contacts, because the traditional concept is that it is unlucky to meet someone with heavy filial piety on a big day.

This depends on the customs and habits of each place. In our northeastern region, when the elderly pass away, they cannot post Spring Festival couplets for three consecutive years during the Chinese New Year.

I won't post Spring Festival couplets, don't set off firecrackers, and don't go to other people's homes.

When the elderly in the family die, they don't post couplets during the Spring Festival, they don't set off firecrackers, and they don't go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings....

Life and death are a major event in the world, and when an elderly person in the family dies, you need to avoid doing some taboo things.

First: Don't touch the body of the elderly

Many family members, after learning the news of the death of the elderly, will become extremely excited, and it is easy to fall into bed and cry bitterly at this time, which is actually not good. After learning that the old man has died, it is not allowed to touch the old man's body for 8-16 hours, at this time, the old man's consciousness is detached from the body, and if he touches it, it is easy for the old man to feel pain.

Second: Don't cry and lose your normal judgment

Some people are prone to emotional crying after the death of the elderly, but in fact, it will disturb the normal judgment of the whole person at this time, which is of course not good for the elderly. After the death of the elderly, the house should be as quiet as possible, learn to say goodbye to the elderly, so that the elderly can relax with the living people and go to another world with peace of mind. Don't cry and tell the old man not to leave, this will only add to the pain of the old man.

Third: the death of the elderly needs to be filial piety

After learning the news of the old man's death, the family needs to keep filial piety. During the period of filial piety, do not go around, do not wear bright clothes, and do not go to entertainment places to have fun. During the period of filial piety, do not choose to kill, you can release the fish, which has a better effect on the deceased old man than doing things.

Fourth: Don't shave your hair

When an elderly person dies, don't shave their hair, don't call pregnant women to attend, and don't hold a happy event in the near future. Of course, there are also some families who say that they can do happy events, which can be regarded as a joyful event. In fact, human birth, old age, sickness and death are a natural phenomenon.

Don't be too sad, and don't dwell on it all the time.

For the old man who has just passed away, in fact, the customs that are passed down among the people are still different from place to place. And after the death of the elderly, the choice of clothes also needs to be specific. The clothes of the deceased are taboo clothes made of satin fabric, and the coffin is also taboo to use willow wood.

Do not attend weddings, business openings, baby celebrations, etc.

Setting off firecrackers and pasting couplets is an expression of joy

Of course, the grief in the hearts of the deceased relatives can not set off firecrackers and paste couplets, but if the elderly people in the family pass away, it is the so-called "happy mourning", which is to set off firecrackers and paste couplets, and there is also the mourning of the family, and the family does not pay New Year's greetings.

Celebrate the New Year as usual and do not mention anything related to the deceased.

1.All the things in the living room of the house were evacuated to other rooms and turned into a mourning hall.

2.Burn incense and light a lantern. It could not be extinguished for three days, and the family took turns keeping vigil.

3.When people come to the family to mourn, the younger generation and the parents have to kneel and kowtow three times with the guests, and the guests have to burn paper in the brazier.

4.The wreath is sent too, depending on personal wishes. There are also those who deliver accounts. Ask someone to blow suona or something.

5.When you finally go out to the funeral home, you have to scatter coins at home, and you have to scatter paper money and coins in the car all the time on the way.

6.After cremation, go home and cross the brazier, drink sugar water, and eat safe dry.
