    The customs vary from place to place, which represents respect for the ancestors. Because of Buddhism.

    It says that the skin of a person 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 bath within seven days, and you can't wash your face within three days.

    I came back to see my loved ones, so I had to shave my beard after seven days, and I didn't have to get a haircut until 100 days later! 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.

    When the old man dies, the old man is buried, and the funeral is very unlucky.

    So at the end of the day, the ritual of washing hands is performed on the side of the grave, and in some places it is washed 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.

    In rural areas, everyone attaches more importance to funeral culture. After the death of a person in the villages of Jiaodong area, most of them are "three funerals", in other words, they are buried only after three days of parking.

    In the past, the transportation was not developed, sometimes the blood relatives of the deceased were far away, and after the death, in order to let the family see each other for the last time, the body was parked on the door panel of the main house for three days. In addition, medicine was not developed in the past, and I was afraid of fake death, so three days later, I was buried and buried. This kind of custom has always been inherited in the countryside.

    Indeed, at that time, when the people of the village came across a family in the village, they stood on both sides of the road to watch. In fact, it can be seen that the burial person is not worried. Those who are related to the deceased and related by blood are all sent to the cemetery with the funeral team, and only return home after burial.

    And these burials were seen by the more distant neighbors in the village, who did not like to watch, but stood on the side of the road to see off the deceased.

    In China, funeral customs have always been paid more attention, so after the death of a person, it is necessary to burn seven, from the first seven to the first.

    Seven. Seventh, 100 days, anniversaries, and until the third anniversary, a series of funeral and worship customs have been formed. Sometimes, when people in the village see the burial or burning, it is also to see the level of attention of the family at the funeral level. Naturally, we also talk to each other when we watch.

    This is said to look at people's homes, the paper products tied are so strong, the old man has nothing over there, and so on.

    After someone dies in a rural family, there are also many things to pay attention to, such as the Spring Festival within three years can not be pasted couplet, no burning head seven can not go to other people's homes, younger generations can not get married within three years (now some areas have changed to less than 100 days can not get married), children within three years can not wear red clothes, etc., these customs, from ancient times to the present, in fact, that is also a kind of respect and mourning for the deceased.

    For some funeral cultures in the countryside, it is now much more streamlined than before. I think that these ways are not important, the key should be when the elderly are alive, children should be dutiful and filial, respect for the elderly, respect for the elderly, love for the elderly, respect for the elderly, is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, we can only pass on this virtue, that is the most important.

    In fact, the mourners are not afraid. Those who are related to the deceased and related by blood are all sent to the cemetery with the funeral procession, and only return home after the burial. And these people who saw the funeral were the neighbors in the village who were more distant, and they did not like to watch, but stood on the side of the road and watched the deceased go on a ride.

    In Feng Shui, in fact, a funeral is not an unfortunate thing, because it is normal for someone to die, so if you go out and encounter a funeral, as long as you do not behave disrespectfully, it will generally not have any negative impact on you.

    In fact, the reason why many people feel that it is very unfortunate to go out and encounter a funeral is because a funeral is a ritual to send the dead. But the meaning of the funeral is just to say goodbye to a body, the soul is actually long gone, and the body will naturally not have an impact.

    It's the 21st century, superstition is not enough, and it's normal to see anything.

    It should be a good thing!

    I have a friend who often goes to the crematorium and takes the initiative to go to see the funeral.

    Ask him why?

    He said that after seeing these people, his heart will be very content, and he will forget the troubles, sorrows, glory, wealth, and fame ...... in lifeIt's nice to feel alive, it's really happy.

    As far as I can see, in real life, he is also a very happy person and looks very young.

    Do you say it's a good thing or a bad thing?

    Also, it was because the Buddha saw the dead that he was able to enlighten him to the truth of life in the universe, and finally succeeded in cultivating the Tao, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?

    In addition, if there is some fear in your heart, it is recommended to recite the Buddha. The method is to read"Amitabha"Four words, read aloud, read ten times ten times. When reciting, rest your heart and ears on the Buddha name, and the longer it lasts, the better.

    In this way, all nuisances and nuisances can be eliminated, and it is true.

    Amitabha, it's inappropriate, please forgive me. )

Indeed, through the Internet, we also know the customs of many regions. Today, I would like to introduce to you a rural customs that everyone usually does not know.

    We all know that now people in the city are cremated if they unfortunately die, and the countryside used to use burial, after all, the most important thing in the countryside is land, even if the old people who have lived in this land all their lives can be buried here to continue to protect their children and grandchildren. Of course, with the advancement of changing customs and customs, funeral reform has also begun in many places. What we are going to talk about today is about some of the habits of rural burial in the past.

    There is such a one when buried in the countryside"Strange"Phenomenon: People who go to the Lord's house to help like to compete to carry the coffin, which is not profitable, but why do everyone rush to carry it? We also interviewed an old farmer to see what he had to say about it.

    Q: Uncle, how old are you this year?

    Answer: Eighty-three.

    Q: How many children do you have?

    Answer: Three sons and one daughter.

    Q: Is the girl the first or the last to be born?

    A: The second one.

    Q: Do you live with your children or do you live on your own?

    A: I have lived there for more than 20 years, with my wife.

    Question: Are all the young people in our village going out to work?

    A: Yes, you have to go out and earn money to support your family.

    Q: Is this coffin still in vogue?

    A: Some places are popular, and some places are not.

    Q: Is it better to find young people if you are looking for someone to move in now?

    Answer: It's easy to find, you find someone to do temporary work, and if you don't do temporary work, you can come and help you carry it.

    Q: It's just that this job is easy to find people, isn't it?

    Answer: Yes, it means that temporary workers earn 500 a day, as long as you say it, they will come to help you immediately; It's to earn 1000, and just think about it.

    Q: Then why is that, uncle?

    Answer: There are elderly people in the family, and everyone needs help, if I look for you and you don't go, then it will be difficult to speak when you help, people are mutual.

    Question: Even if your family has an old one, my family also has one, and I will help you when your old one is gone, and you will also help me when your old family is gone, is that what you mean, uncle?

    A: Yes, they all help each other.

    Q: Is that the same in the neighborhood?

    A: Well, that's pretty much it.

    Just now, after a conversation with the uncle, we also know the answer. No matter how much young people earn working outside, when they need help, even those who earn hundreds or thousands a day will immediately go home. Because the village is a big collective, everyone has an old man, every old man has a time when he dies of illness, there are times when he needs help, only if you help others, when you need help, others will help you.

    So what do you think about this? Is this the case in my friend's village? If you like it, pay attention to it, and bring you different rural new things every day!

The main reason is the widespread use of various chemical pesticides and compound fertilizers. Another reason is that the market for eels in previous years was okay, so every evening you can see a lot of outsiders coming to the village with electric appliances and nets to catch eels. They are all-encompassing for catching eels, and gradually find that there are indeed a lot fewer eels in the village, and it is very rare to encounter one occasionally.
