There are a lot of funeral customs in rural areas, which ones are very unreasonable?

I think the rural funeral customs are very unreasonable, that is, burial and shed, the funeral is a very solemn thing, but the appearance of Peng makes the funeral seem a little disrespectful, although the old man always says to enter the soil for peace, but now the country no longer advocates burial, but there are still some places that continue this custom.

The unreasonable funeral customs in the countryside include rural affairs, extravagance and waste, and big operations, and a song and dance troupe was invited, and the dance was vigorously danced to help the eyes.

When doing white things, invite the song and dance class to sing and dance, I think the white thing is a very serious matter, and those song and dance troupes should not be invited, and it is too extravagant and wasteful to do white things and invite dinner.

My family's funeral custom is that the whole family has to go to the crematorium to see off the deceased, they must all wear white shoes, carry the table on the day of the funeral, buy some paper products, and finally all the people go to the grave to bid farewell to the deceased.

I don't know much about this aspect of customs, because I have never returned to my hometown to attend a funeral, which is also a pity.

Of course, different places have different customs, and the funeral customs in my hometown are generally to let people go for a few days after they die, and then make a dojo for him, give him a superordinate, and then invite relatives and friends around him to eat and say goodbye to him.

1. Crying spirits and guarding spirits.

After the death of an elder in the family, the children will dress him in a longevity coat and shoes, and then put an iron pot on the ground next to the bed to burn the paper money.

2. Burial.

There are large and small burials, the big burial is to put the dressed deceased into the coffin prepared in advance, and the small burial is to change the life clothes and shoes for the deceased. This must be done by the children of the deceased, and no one else can do it for them. If there are no children, they will be replaced by siblings.

3. Funeral.

Funeral is the most important part of the whole funeral. At this time, the children of the deceased, relatives, friends, and distant neighbors gather together, and the onmyoji recites the final prayer, and the children, relatives and friends kneel in linen and filial piety before the spirit, and cry loudly.

4. Burial.

The whole burial process is also very solemn, first the coffin is placed on the edge of the "golden well" dug in advance, and when the onmyoji arrives, the sutra is also recited.

Funeral elegy. The lyrics of the elegy include two chapters of "Pickle Dew" and "Artemisia Li", which were written by the disciples of Tian Heng in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Tian Heng committed suicide, and the doorman mourned him, so he sang sadly.

The meaning of the lyrics is that people are like the dew on the shallots, which are easy to dry and perish, and they think that the soul of the person is dead and returns to the artemisia in the south of Mount Tai. So there are these two chapters.

Original text: The elegy, the joy of mourning, and the voice of harmony among those who hold on to the scarf. The elegy has two chapters of shallot, Artemisia Li.

Hantian Hengmen people. Horizontal suicide, people are injured, sad songs, words: people are like shallot dew, easy to dilute; It is also said that when a person dies, the soul returns to Artemisia.

Therefore, there are two chapters. ("Sou Shen Ji").
