Why do people have to live five or seven after death, and why do they give five or seven to the dead

In the funeral, May Seven is an important day, and May Seven is dominated by daughters and nieces. Burn five seven except for paper money, offerings, mainly with paper goods.

One. Seven, twenty-seven.

Sanqi is mainly based on sons, and only Wuqi is mainly daughters, especially daughters who are married, and sons-in-law should use them to buy meals for the table, chicken, duck, fish, meat, meatballs and other large offerings, as well as eight kinds of fruits and snacks. The son's cornucopia.

Daughters are cash cows.

A few sons, a few cornucopias, a few daughters, a few cash cows. Then there are paper furniture, electrical appliances, cars, etc., and some even burn a few paper figures, which are sent to the deceased as servants. I also burned five sets of paper clothes, because I won't burn clothes anymore in three years, and I hope that the deceased will move to a new house and change into new clothes, so that he can live well there.

Legend has it that after death, the soul will not disappear within 35 days, reluctant to leave home, will always protect the home, until the 35th day, when you see your descendants wearing linen and filial piety to come to your grave, you will realize that you no longer belong to this world, and you will go to another world. On the day of the funeral, the date of May Seventh is announced by the respected old man in the village who is in charge, and relatives and friends will pay their respects on the date of May Seventh without further notice.

Before sunset on the afternoon of May 7, the family lined up in a row to cry and go to the grave to worship, and the sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law sprinkled a few handfuls of soil around the tomb to express that the deceased would rest in peace. After May Seven, the family will return to normal life, knowing that the deceased has been laid to rest in peace.

The reason why a person passes after death is that in traditional Chinese culture, the fifth seven after a person's death is an important time node, which is considered to be the period of the return of the dead and the sight of ghosts, also known as the "mourning period". During this time, families and relatives perform a series of sacrifices and rituals to express their condolences and respect for the deceased.

Traditionally, this period is considered to be the time when the soul of the deceased returns to the yang world, and in order to prevent the soul of the deceased from being disturbed or lost during this period, family members and relatives should protect and care for the soul of the deceased as much as possible. Therefore, May Seven is considered to be a very important time node, and families and relatives and friends should protect and comfort the souls of the deceased as much as possible during this time, so that they can leave this world peacefully.

Wuqi is a very important day, saying that the deceased will go home on this day, and finally see his family, and then go to reincarnation, or go to live in the underworld. It is said that after a person dies, the soul cares for the family and children, and can not bear to leave, it takes 35 days after the May Seven, and some places are willing to leave for 49 days before they are willing to leave to go to heaven, so the Five Seven has become an important part of the funeral culture in our country and attaches great importance to it.

1. This custom has a long history, and Zhang Xuan, a Ming scholar, pointed out in "Suspicious Yao: Seven Seven": The dead in the vulgar world, every seven days, set up sacrifices.

What does the May Seven Ceremony entail? We divide the things to be prepared into three categories, for example, you can burn some paper money, generally cut white paper or light yellow fire paper into the shape of copper coins, and incinerate them to the deceased, as long as it is a dead coin. There is also incense for the deceased to express respect, gratitude and remembrance to the deceased.

At the same time, I realized that life is actually the true meaning of purity and dedication. Prepare some sacrifices for cremation of the deceased.

2 These offerings to the gods and the dead are for them to enjoy the offerings, to bless the whole family, to ward off calamities and to pray for blessings, and to imply the sincerity and filial piety of the people. Offerings such as wine, cattle, sheep, and plants are offered to God, our ancestors, and the deceased, hoping that they will bring blessings and enjoy good fortune.

I don't know why someone killed him.

To pass five seven, although I heard a lot of legends, some will be suspicious, today I went to the Internet to check, roughly there are two statements I think is more credible, one is: people die to pass seven passes, each seven days for a pass, but the saddest thing is five seven passes, five seven passes is the Lord of Yama pass, after this pass four people went to the underworld to live; Another way of saying it is: although a person has died, he has not realized that he is really dead, and has been in a state of confusion, and on the day of May Seven, he feels that the bones in his body are a little loose, and when he can no longer get up, he realizes that he is really dead, he is going to leave the world, and he is going to be reincarnated in the underworld to live, so people must prepare good wine and good food to see off the deceased, and it is also the last farewell of the deceased.

In fact, no matter what you say, it is a way taken by our ancestors to express their grief in order not to let the dead torment the living for a long time, and to prevent the living from forgetting the dead.

He who will give seven to seven to seven to the dead will be excessive.

The customs vary from place to place, which represents respect for the ancestors. Because in Buddhism it is said that a person's skin is the one that is received by the parents.

You can't cut your hair and shave your beard within five or seven days, you can't take a shower within seven days, you can't wash your face within three days, there is a superstitious saying that people die and come back to see their relatives before the first seven days, so the beard should be shaved after seven days, and the haircut should be completed for a hundred days! If you don't want to keep filial piety, wear a Pixiu jewelry, so that there are no taboos!

Don't regret your parents' filial piety when they are alive, and don't care too much about them afterwards, the era must be different. Do not cut hair and shave your beard during the funeral: According to folk customs, during the funeral period at home, relatives are not allowed to cut their hair and shave their beards.

It is generally believed that this is to express such grief and grief that it is impossible to take care of the trimming. And its other intentions are <>

In order to ward off evil spirits, he looks different from ordinary people with a raunchy appearance, so that the undead ghosts cannot recognize him, so as not to be disturbed. After the burial of the deceased, the mourners should go around the tomb for three weeks, and do not turn back on the way home**, so that the ghost of the deceased will not follow the living home.

The funeral is very unfortunate when the old man dies and buries the elderly, so when everything is over, the ritual of washing hands is performed on the side of the grave, and in some places washing hands with wine. This can prevent the family from having another deceased in the future, and it is also to get rid of bad luck. After the ceremony, the mourners need to come back to eat longevity beans or drink longevity soup, which means blessings and longevity.

Remember to drink shou soup and eat shou beans. After the burial of the old man, all the people should not look back when they go back, because they may see something unclean at this time. Especially for people who are weak, looking back, it is even more taboo and easy to be entangled.
