How to view the phenomenon of beating gongs, drums and singing big operas at night of funerals in ru

Some customs in the countryside are very good, but with constant changes, some customs can really be misunderstood and even criticized. For example, on the night of the funeral, gongs and drums were beaten and a big drama was sung.

1.In fact, rural people have a very simple quality. No matter how harsh their family conditions are, after the death of their loved ones, they let the deceased complete their last journey into the world.

When someone dies in a rural area, the family notifies the person in charge of the family. By setting off firecrackers, especially kicks that can reach high in the air, they will tell my family to help with the work. In fact, some firecrackers were set off.

This is understandable. The death of a loved one, the sobriety and crying of children are also understandable. However, when the money is delivered in the middle of the night, firecrackers are sent to say hello, and there are also children's cries.

There seems to be a noise in the middle of the night, which is really upsetting. However, traditional customs do not change in a day. Such customs should be changed gradually.

2.Some of the old people who died at home were very respected people in the village, among relatives and friends, people with great prestige at home, who made great contributions to the family business, and his birthday was also very high. Some of the usual etiquette must not be overlooked, and there are some bright spots.

It is said that whistleblowers will be hired. During wakes, funerals, and burials, whistleblowers play countless times according to local customs. Some even asked the troupe to sing a big drama for several days.

On the one hand, it is to publicize the deceased and let everyone remember this highly respected old man, and on the other hand, it is to show the power of the family in front of everyone.

In general, everyone dies one day. The family will definitely arrange the funeral of the deceased according to the abundance of the local area. Whether it's setting off firecrackers or blowing horns, if it's in the middle of the night, it's better to have less sound.

Although the loss of a loved one is a heart-wrenching pain, it should not seriously disturb people, and it cannot be said that there is no movement. After all, customs are hard to change.

When the countryside is holding funerals, gongs, drums and dramas are sung at night, in fact, these are extravagant and wasteful, and there is no need at all.

This is extravagance and waste, and it cannot truly express the feelings of grief.

In rural areas, gongs and drums are usually beaten, which is also a way to mourn the deceased. Many rural areas will make the funeral beautiful, which is also the last dignity for the deceased.

There is such a custom in many parts of China.

du, also known as "red zhi white happy event", red one.

Dao generally refers to happy events such as getting married and having children, but why is "white" also called "happy events"? In fact, for a family, an elderly person has passed away, although the family is a little sad, but for the elderly, their life cultivation has ended, and they want to return to their hometown and settle down, this kind of thing is generally called "happy funeral", and the family should beat the gong and drum to send the funeral, especially the death of the elderly. But the death of young people is not good, for the death of young people, it is very unlucky, the family is very sad, can not be white-haired people to send black-haired people, so that the family members are too sad, can not beat gongs and drums, should be cremated as soon as possible, into the earth for peace.

In many places, when an elderly person dies, it is called "happy mourning", and although the family members are grieving, they will also ask Taoist priests to pray for the blessings of their families and spend time for the deceased elderly. The funeral process is simple to have three days and five days, and some elderly people die on special days, in order to choose a good day for the funeral, they may be parked at home for more than ten or twenty days. When the old man dies, his merits are complete, the sufferings he has suffered in this world and the hardships he has suffered have ended, and he has no worries.

The family banged and beat in order to send the dead on their last journey, and at the same time to give themselves a little comfort.

Weddings and funerals are to beat gongs and drums, which is an old custom handed down from ancestors, there are different music, dao can be heard far away back to whether it is a marriage or a funeral, mainly because of the inconvenient transportation in the past, it is difficult to transmit information, at that time relatives lived around, and after hearing it, they could pass news to each other, and they knew that they were close to each other to come to catch the gift, that is, to send money or things.

The funeral should be done by beating gongs and drums, which is to tell the people in the village that someone in the family has died. Those who hear it will come to offer condolences, money, paper, and comfort.

Living in the countryside, you must have participated in some red and white affairs, and you also know about some red and white things, but at the same time, you feel strange about some customs.

For example, after some funerals, there will be joints such as singing, which makes young people very strange nowadays. This custom originates from **? What is the moral meaning?

In fact, not all funerals have such a link as singing, and generally this kind of "lively" link mostly appears on some joys and funerals. And at the very beginning, it was not singing, but inviting the ringer team, that is, playing musical instruments such as suona.

The so-called joy and mourning refers to the fact that the blessed old man has died and left this world without suffering. Compared to other ways of dying, this method is indeed much better.

However, even if it is said to be "happy", it is not a thing worth celebrating for the children of the deceased, so the children will use the loudspeaker to express their emotions. Moreover, the ringer is not known for being "lively", but to express the children's condolences to the deceased, as well as to add meaning to the mourning hall sadness and solemnity.

It's just that with the development of society, the ringer has slowly become a troupe, and even to the current pop songs, the original solemn and solemn atmosphere has disappeared, and it has completely become lively and even nonsense.

This culture of mourning and mourning has slowly evolved into a bad habit.

In rural China, people mentionRed and white ceremonies, you will think of singing. In fact, this is a custom, and there is no way to verify when the custom of singing comes fromIt should have a certain relationship with the earliest monk Taoism transcendence.

1.Suona on the funeral

In the countryside very early, when the old people died, they did not invite the opera team to come and sing, but invited people to play a musical instrument, this instrument is Suona, which is the representative of the Chinese, and often can compare some foreign musical instruments, mainly because it is loud enough. It can make people feel sad and happy, and at the same time, suona usually needs very skilled people to blow, usually the person who blows suona must have more than ten years of practice before he can be invited to the funeral to perform suona. Later, there were not many people who played suona, and it slowly evolved into singing.

2.The meaning of funeral singing

Everyone knows that the suona is a loud and bright instrument, which is very suitable for blowing at funerals and can move people's hearts. Blowing suona at a funeral can also express the children's thoughts and grief for the elderly. Since the old people are dying at the end of their lives, there is no death due to illness, so it is also a kind of happy event, and people in the countryside attach great importance to these rituals.

But you can't send these old people away with sad ** or other art forms, so blowing suona at the funeral is such a meaning of joy and sorrow, and the same is true for singing.

3.The evolution of funeral singing

Although the phenomenon of playing suona at a funeral is slowly disappearing, singing is also a good form of expression. But gradually, with the development of modern science and technology, people's preferences are slowly changing, from the original suona or singing to the current technical performances, and some funerals even have pop songs and dances, completely missing the previous grandeur or solemnity, and becoming a kind of nonsense.

In general, the loss of singing and blowing suona is a kind ofVery grand and grand form of mourning, for the sake ofLet the old people leave beautifullyThe world, however, is now in this form graduallychanged its essence

In fact, the culture of joy and funeral is a part of the traditional Chinese funeral culture, and it is a transcendent and generous life concept for Chinese people to face life and death correctly. From Zhuangzi's singing, it shows people's fearlessness and detachment in the face of the laws of nature. Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can violate the natural law, and it is gratifying to be able to cultivate a virtuous and complete life in a lifetime and die a righteous life.

Therefore, there is no need for some so-called apologists to jump out and curse when it comes to joy and mourning, "It is a sad thing to have a dead person, how can it be said to be a happy event?" ”

This method must only exist in the funeral of joy and mourning, and it is also a relief for the old man to go to bed at the end of his life.

Not all funerals have such a link as singing, and the earliest is to invite someone to blow the suona.

Relatives, friends and clan members of the deceased came to mourn and send the deceased on their last journey, and then prepared for the funeral.

It should come from ancient times. Later, it was gradually handed down. Until today.
