2. One. VII.II.

Seventh, three sevenths are mainly sons, only five sevenths are mainly daughters, especially married daughters, sons-in-law to buy the table of meals, chicken, duck, fish, meat, meatballs and other large offerings, eight kinds of fruits, snacks. The son's cornucopia, the daughter's is a cash cow, the sons have a few cornucopias, and the daughters have 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.

3. Legend has it that after death, the soul will not disappear within 35 days, and he will be reluctant to leave home, and he will always protect his home until the 35th day, when he sees his descendants wearing linen and filial piety to come to his grave, he will realize that he no longer belongs to this world, and he 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.

4. Before sunset on the afternoon of May and July, the family members 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 grave 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.

A superstitious tradition: according to legend, after five periods, it is the saddest level, relatives have to buy five pots of flowers, which are for the little ghosts, and when they are not paying attention, the deceased sneaks over. When burning five pots of flowers, if one of them is not burned, it proves that the deceased has appeared.

Why do people die to pass five seven, although I have heard a lot of legends, some will be suspicious, recently I went to the Internet to check, there is a saying I think is more credible, that is: people die to pass seven levels, each seven days for a level, but the saddest is the five seven passes, five seven passes is the Lord of Yama.

Guan, the foreign married girl must return to her mother's house, and the dead must be burned in the underworld.

The "spiritual house", that is, the paper building, as well as paper people, paper horses, paper sheep, paper cars, paper household appliances, etc., were burned in front of the grave of the deceased, and the children wept bitterly in front of the Lord of Yama, moving the Lord of Yama, so that the Lord of Yama was extrajudicial and relieved of all the pain of the deceased. If the deceased did not have a foreign daughter, it was the niece or granddaughter who was married to do so. After this pass, the deceased went to live in the underworld; It is also the last farewell for the deceased, therefore, it is five or seven days after a person dies, and it is a very important day.

In any case, it is a way for our ancestors to express their grief in order not to let the living forget the dead.

Legend has it that after the death of a person to suffer a crime, the Lord of Yama will be punished according to the mistakes of the deceased during his lifetime, but the Lord of Yama likes girls, but also likes flowers, if the daughter burns flowers for her parents when burning five or seven, the deceased will suffer less, and the Lord of Yama will be happy to see the flowers will reduce the punishment. If the deceased has no daughter, a girl from a close relative can also be burned on his behalf.

The fifth phase can't wait until the thirty-fifth day to burn, it's thirty days.

At first, it was because I missed my relatives and went early, but later it became a custom, and it took 30 days in the fifth period.

When we burn five periods here, we will inform relatives and younger generations, the more people, the better, burn all the remaining paper money at home, and tear up filial piety, which is the filial piety hat worn by filial piety.

Children burn five or seven pieces of paper for their deceased father or mother, and the customs and habits are different in different places, so there are also differences. On our side, the fifty-seven paper is counted from the day of the deceased's death, and the thirty-fourth day (one seventeen is only six days). Generally, daughters will buy a big rooster, kill it, remove it, disembowel it, cook it, take it to the grave as a sacrifice (of course, there are other sacrifices), burn incense, and burn paper money.
