Is there a custom in China that if a relative dies, you can t go to someone else s house for 7 days?

This can be said to be a kind of superstition, because if someone in the family dies, there will be a kind of bad luck on the body, and if you don't go to someone else's house, it is not to pass on the bad luck to others, but it is just superstition and nothing for our younger generation, but the old man is very persistent.

On the night of the first seven resurrections, every seven days from the day of death of the deceased is "one seven", a total of "seven seven" forty-nine days. The first seven days are called the "first seven". I haven't heard that you can't go to other people's houses.

*In some parts of China, there is indeed a custom that family members cannot go to someone else's house for seven days after the death of a loved one**.

There are several theories about this custom. One of the theories is that on the seventh day of the death of a loved one, the soul will return to the place where it lived during the lifetime, and the family will choose to avoid it during this period, otherwise it will be seen by the soul of the deceased, which will cause him to worry and affect his reincarnation. Another theory is that children are required to observe filial piety for a loved one within seven days of his or her death, during which time they are not allowed to go out for social activities, otherwise it will be seen as disrespectful to the deceased and will have a negative impact on the neighbors.

However, this custom is not followed everywhere, especially in the modern world, where many places no longer strictly follow such regulations. In addition, the custom may have evolved over time and geographically. Therefore, this custom is not a uniform rule across the country, but varies according to region, culture, era and other factors.

It is the first anniversary, and you are not allowed to visit relatives and friends.

If your relatives have passed away and are not at home, you should immediately go to the temple to do the excess, do some good deeds, and recite the Buddha and release the life in this forty-nine days.

The best thing to do is to be vegetarian, and if you have a good place for your loved ones, you can take a look at the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra".

The Dharma that is spoken in it.

There is no need to worship, when my father was away, my brother was also out of town before, and it was inconvenient to go home. The family incense for him and the work is good. Soul return and Sanqi are more important.

It usually takes seven days before you can visit someone's home.

When you go to someone else's house, you can't wear filial piety. As for why it is seven days, because in the folk, there is such a saying as the first seven. On the seventh day of the deceased's death, his soul will return to the place where he lived.

People in the family usually avoid it on this day, or go to bed early and cover themselves under the covers. Otherwise, if it is seen by the soul of the deceased, it will make him remember, and it will affect the reincarnation of Tuan Xian.

After someone in the family dies, you can't go to someone's house for three years. Within 100 days, it is not allowed to visit other people's homes, so especially after the death of the elderly in the family, these relatives will keep filial piety for three years, and they cannot go out to pay New Year's greetings during these three years. In other places, it is believed that you can only visit someone's home after 49 days, and the specific customs and regulations vary from place to place.

The reason why you can't visit the door during the filial piety period:

Visiting the door during the period of filial piety is a very unlucky thing for others, and it is also relatively disrespectful to the deceased. Generally speaking, people are forbidden to visit the house during the filial piety period, which will bring bad luck and misfortune to their own families. During the period of filial piety, it is advisable to pay tribute to the deceased in accordance with the regulations and customs, and to be reverent.

Therefore, try not to go out to participate in some more festive activities, which also expresses respect for He Liang's deceased and makes him feel more at ease.

Secondly, people in the period of filial piety are also relatively unlucky, and the deceased appears in the family, which is not very auspicious from feng shui, and many people are very shy of such things. Especially during the period of filial piety, my own mood is not very good, and if I come to visit, I will also infect this sad mood to others.

After the death of a loved one, it is not possible to touch his body immediately, which is not only to respect the deceased, but also to save him from suffering. Because during this time, the soul will enter the state of the four major emptiness, which is a very painful process for the soul. So if he touches it at this time, he will have resentment.

In some places, it is believed that after the death of a loved one, it is generally seven days before you can visit someone else's home, and when you go to someone else's house, you can't wear filial piety. As for why it is seven days, because in the folk, there is such a saying as the first seven. When someone dies, they can't eat their family's food for five days.

Taboo when you die without relatives around:

The most taboo for the elderly is that when they die, they have no relatives by their side, and it is very desolate to die alone. Generally speaking, when an elderly person dies, relatives and children should come as soon as possible, and future generations must be present.

Shroud should not be made of satin fabric:

The deceased's shroud is very taboo to use satin fabric, because satin homonym "broken child", which will cause misfortune for future generations, and the whole family will be cut off. Therefore, most of the shrouds are made of silk, because silk represents good fortune for descendants. In addition, the number of shrouds is also strictly regulated, not even, must be singular, these need to be strictly observed, otherwise it will have an impact on future generations.

You can't wear filial piety to go to someone else's house:

Since ancient times, after someone in the family dies, the immediate family members will wear filial piety, which shows respect and remembrance for the deceased. But if Dai Xiao goes to someone else's house, it is a very bad thing, and no one wants others to come to his home with bad luck. Therefore, when wearing filial piety, you should also consciously abide by such a New Year's shirt rule, and never go to visit others.

Coffins taboo use of willow wood:

The material of the coffin is generally taboo to use willow wood, because willow wood is not able to bear seeds, from the feng shui point of view, such a material represents the end, the meaning is very unlucky. Therefore, willow wood cannot be used for coffins, and most of them are made of other woods, such as pine and cypress, which is a very good choice, implying longevity.

It is forbidden to participate in recreational activities during the period of filial piety:

During the period of filial piety, they are not allowed to participate in some entertainment activities, except for their own family members who can hold festive events, and the immediate family members of the deceased cannot participate in the festive ceremonies held outside. During the period of filial piety, it is very taboo to have fun, and you can't dress flamboyantly, you should be low-key, wear some plain-looking clothes, in order to show respect for the deceased.

Taboo tears spilling corpses:

At the time of burial, it is very taboo to shed tears on the body, so relatives should be careful not to fall tears on the body of the deceased at this time, and the sadness should be slightly controlled.
