When the funeral in the countryside was held, the eldest son in the family broke it with a clay pot,

Regarding the custom of rural funerals and the eldest son breaking the clay pot in the family, there may be different places in different places, but the particulars may be different in different places. In our local area, the person who breaks the pot is the one who inherits the property of the deceased, which means that the pot is not for anyone to fall. If there are sons in the family, the eldest son will break the clay pot according to the eldest son, because there is a saying in the countryside that the eldest brother is like a father.

When parents are present, everything in the family is decided by the parents, and if the parents die, the eldest son is the eldest son who decides everything in the family.

This clay pot was placed in front of the coffin after the death of his parents, and was used to burn paper money. When relatives and friends come, they will burn paper on incense to the deceased, and everyone will burn paper with the help of this clay pot, and all the ashes will be contained in the clay pot, and when the coffin is about to be carried out, the clay pot should be broken by the eldest son. This fall announced that this person's life was more than over, and everything was like ashes in a basin drifting away with the wind, and it has since come to naught.

After the clay pot fell, the funeral procession began to move out.

Our local custom is that it is better to choose one that has a better relationship with the deceased. , and a closer person to replace. Under normal circumstances, if the deceased has a nephew in the family, the nephew will do this, and the deceased's estate will also be inherited by the nephew. We have a local saying that if you have a nephew standing at the door, you are not a lonely old man.

If you don't have a son, then your nephew is also your own son, and in the next hundred years, your nephew will do it for you on the genealogy of going to the grave and celebrating the New Year's Festival. However, all this depends on the wishes of the deceased before death, and some people will also choose a person who is not related to them, but who took care of them when they were alive. Therefore, the people who break the clay pot may not be the eldest son, but the person who breaks the clay pot in the countryside must be the one who inherits the inheritance of the deceased.

Because this clay pot is associated with inheritance, some families will also have trouble because of the clay pot. It was originally an unlucky thing with a very heavy yin qi, but because of the inheritance, everyone rushed to be the first and rushed to drop the tile pot. That's probably why you can't get along with the crockpot.

The purpose of throwing the basin is to throw away the frustration and bad luck in the family, the second is to send the money burned to the deceased into the "underworld" through the action of falling, so that the deceased will have money to spend there, and the third is to throw the pot to indicate that the family will never mourn in the future.

Because they believe that falling the pot is a relationship with the deceased. First of all, I think it may be a custom, and then they think that the more you break the basin, the closer the relationship between the deceased will be, and then it will be convenient for the deceased to carry, and it will generally be the kind of eldest son who carries the basin.

I don't think it's a traditional custom in the countryside, but with the development and progress of the country, some rural areas no longer practice this custom.

Why do you want to drop the clay pot before the funeral in the countryside? Why does it have to be broken? The meaning of the funeral is a form of expressing grief and indignation in the heart.

When every old person leaves, the family will be very sad, and express the grief in their hearts by throwing the pot. This is also a way to vent inner grief, so that the outside world, outsiders, can see that they are sad and reluctant to let go of their loved ones. And the more you fall, the better.

Living in the countryside, due to the great influence of the traditional culture of the countryside, the countryside has left many ancient customs and traditions, especially in some major events that people attach great importance to, and its laws and quantities are extremely exquisite. For example, in rural areas, before the funeral, there is a funeral ritual of throwing tiles. What is the significance of such a ritual?

The custom of breaking the pot at the funeral has existed a long time ago, why this fall, it is said that there are two reasons, one is that this pot is taken from the meaning of 'years (broken) peace', which means that the deceased relatives can bless the children and grandchildren of the family, so the more the basin is broken, the better. The second is to say that the relatives who have just passed away are about to be completely separated from the relatives living in the world, and all relationships are gone. The third is that the eldest son of the family threw the clay pot, which means that the family was inherited by the eldest son, and the incense in the family was not broken.

Since it is a "clay basin", the more broken it is, the better. The more it is broken, the calmer the relatives of the deceased will be in the sun, and the smoother the deceased will be in the underworld. But if you don't break it the first time, you won't fall the second time.

It is usually crushed by the coffin bearer (coffin bearer). There is also a lot of attention to be paid when throwing cans. If the deceased is a mother, then the eldest son must use his right hand when throwing the jar.

If the deceased is the father, he must use his left hand.

Later, people drilled a hole under the clay pot that they were going to drop before the funeral, the purpose was to let the ecstasy soup given by Meng Po leak when the deceased was reincarnated, so as not to forget the relatives in the yang world after drinking. As for breaking the clay pot before the funeral, making a "clang" sound, it is to remind the deceased relatives that it is time to go on the road.

Breaking the tile basin, also called throwing the "auspicious basin", throwing the "yin and yang basin", throwing the "old basin" and so on, is a kind of funeral custom that has been circulated in our country for thousands of years. Since it is a "clay pot", it is natural that the more broken it is, the better, and the more broken it is, the more it means that the relatives of the deceased in the yang world are safer, and the deceased is smoother in the underworld. But if it is not broken the first time, it cannot be broken a second time, and it is generally broken by the bearer (the person who carries the coffin).

Funeral etiquette can be said to be the most important and solemn ceremony in China's traditional culture. Each has its own customs, in our country Henan, Shandong, Northeast these places have such customs, in addition to these places there are a small number of areas also retain such customs, the basin used to break the pot is the deceased in the days after the death of the deceased used to pay tribute to the paper burning with the clay pot, some places call this basin the money basin, and some places called the cornucopia,

This is because this is an action to remove bad luck, and if you break it, you can remove all the luck.

It is a folk custom in our country to break tiles at the time of funeral, and the purpose is to express the grief and longing for the death of a loved one.

The tile is broken by the principle of male left and female right, that is to say, if the family is a man who has passed away, he must use his left hand to break the tile, and vice versa, after the tile can be funeral, which means the permanent death of relatives.

The more bad the fall indicates that the living are more painful, so the general agitation and grinding of the pot is the dearest person of the deceased, and under the influence of ancient feudal thought, the patriarchal is very powerful, thinking that the daughter is married to someone else's family, and the son is his own. Among the many sons, the eldest son needs to take on great responsibilities, so the eldest son is the most uncomfortable.

1. PeopleThey will drop the clay pot before the funeral, the main purpose is to throw out the bad things in the house, and it is also so that everyone can touch the ground before burning it to the deceasedSent to the underworld, so that the deceased can also have money to spend there, and it is also to show that the deceased will be able to reincarnate smoothly when they come again.

IIThere is a legend in the custom of crockpots. It is said that Fan Yi, the ancestor of the pottery industry, wanted to choose an heir before his death. He invited a little apprentice to discuss.

EveryoneIt's talking, and there's a lot of discussion. At this time, one of the disciples said, "When a man is in a pot, he goes to the pot, and when your old man dies, your bowl is taken to the underworld." Fan Yi agreed, and handed over the craft and inheritance to the apprentice.

IIIIn this way, a rule came into being after Fan Li, who fell the tile pot for the deceased, who has the right to inherit the deceased's property, after the tile pot was broken, the filial sons and grandsons would kneel on the ground and cry bitterlyThen the women went home, and all the men continued to run to the cemetery to be buried. This is actually a traditional custom and cognition. If it is not broken, it is harmful to future generations.

FourthIf you don't break it when you break it, it will affect your family's body and career, so you won't fall it a second time when you don't break it, but other people directly use their feet to crush the pot, if it is said that the ground is broken, it means that the future life will be better and better.

Therefore, people nowadays will let their eldest son and grandson drop this clay pot before the funeral, mainly because of the nostalgia for the deceased.

Our country is a traditional country, folk customs have been passed down for many years, the family does white things, people in the past have to drop the tile pot before the funeral, and the more the tile pot is broken, the better, the louder the better. This is because there is a folk saying that the more the clay pot is broken, the faster the deceased will go, and you can go to the underworld to report as soon as possible, carry your own clay pot with you, ingots and incense will not break, and the property left to future generations will be more and more, bless the family from generation to generation.

1. The more the clay pot is broken, the more smoothly the deceased can cross the bridge

The custom of throwing clay pots originated from the folk, and the family members were usually asked to break the clay pots for the deceased before the funeral. Some people say that the more the clay pot is broken, the louder the sound becomes, and it is to guide the deceased. led the deceased person to cross the Nai He Bridge smoothly, did not let him drink Meng Po soup, forgot all the grievances in his previous life, broke off his relationship, looked forward to taking care of his life as soon as possible, and waited for the next reincarnation.

2. The clay pot is broken more and more loudly, which means that the ingots of the dead people are continuous, and the incense is continuous

Nowadays, many young people don't understand this folk custom, and the customs and habits of the past say that the clay pot is broken more and more loudly, which means that the dead people are constantly in the underworld, and the incense is continuous. Relatives left us, since then Yin and Yang separated, he is a lonely person there, this clay pot represents the pot for eating, take the clay pot on the road to the underworld will not starve, the incense is good. In fact, this is a kind of longing and sustenance of the living for the dead, hoping that they can live a good life in the underworld.

3. The more the clay pot is broken, it represents the wealth of the descendants of the family

Only the eldest son and eldest grandson are qualified to come to the clay pot, so they must be the ones who will hold the financial power of the family in the future. The more the clay pot is broken, the louder the sound, which means that the fortune of the descendants of the family is rolling in. The fine traditions of the deceased, the virtues of thrift, will be passed on to the head of the family along with the property.

Therefore, the person who throws the clay pot will definitely work hard to break the clay pot and make a sound, so that the family's fortune will roll in.

The beautiful meaning also represents a kind of longing for the deceased. The fact that the white affairs in the countryside are very solemn shows that the rural people are still following some old folk customs. I believe that these folk customs are about to fade out of our sight, because it is imperative to change customs, advocate civilized sacrifices, and oppose extravagance and waste.

People eat, drink and have fun in this life, but in the end they have to obey the principles of heaven, and they can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death. SoIn the countryside, when the funeral is held, the clay pot will be dropped before the funeral, which makes many people puzzled, in fact, the reason is very simple, which also contains people's good wishes.

In people's traditional thinking, falling anything is equivalent to "shattering peace."Mainly because of the homonym, and it also represents good wishes, then this idea is also the primary reason at the time of the funeral. After all, people are willing to believe that there will be a soul in this world after death, leaving a trace of thought for the living family or friends, and when the basin is dropped, the eldest son or eldest daughter of the family must be allowed to fall, so that people can walk at ease.

And when you drop the clay pot, you must fall hard, if it is not broken enough, it will appear disrespectful to the deceased, and some families will pay attention to it and do some things like gods before the funeral, which can make people walk more peacefully. In some places, the clay pot is dropped on the hearse, and in some places, the clay pot is dropped after cremation, so the difference in individual places is still relatively largeBut there is another theory besides this statement, which is that people don't want the deceased to forget themselves.

Since ancient times, people have believed that people should drink Meng Po soup after death, so that the deceased will forget everything in the world after drinking it, and then go to reincarnation. The deceased's tool for drinking Meng Po soup is this clay pot, so in some areas, people buy a small hole under the clay pot, so that the deceased will not drink Meng Po soup when he drinks, and thus will not forget the things of the worldAgain, this is why the clay pot should be broken.

People often say that "birth, old age, sickness and death, life events", death as a major event, the world attaches more importance to it. There are many more elaborate customs in rural funerals, and many young people may be full of doubts about this. For example, why do you have to break the clay pot before the funeral in the countryside, and why do you have to break the clay pot?

In fact, throwing a clay pot before a funeral is a traditional custom of rural funerals. Breaking the clay pot is the last ritual of the deceased at home before the spirit of the deceased is buried in the earth. On the one hand, the purpose of breaking the clay pot is to express people's grief and remembrance of the death of their loved ones, and on the other hand, the clay pot is broken to facilitate the deceased relatives to bring the pots and bowls to the underworld, and there can be food in the underworld, which is the expression of filial piety for the deceased relatives by the living people.

In addition, in the past, it was also a way to inherit the inheritance, because according to the old calendar, most of the inheritance of the deceased person would be inherited by the person who broke the pot.

So why did the pot have to be broken? The more the clay pot is broken, the better, because the broken one means that the years are safe, and it is said that the deceased relatives are blessings to the younger generations; It is also said that the loved one stayed at home for three days after his death and was unwilling to leave. The clay pot is shattered and smashed so loudly that only the deceased can hear it, reminding relatives that it is time to go on the road.

Breaking the tile basin is also called throwing the old basin, throwing the brazier, throwing the yin and yang basin, throwing the auspicious basin, etc., which is a funeral custom that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years.

Not anyone can fall on a clay pot, and it is also very particular about falling a clay pot.

If there is no eldest son or the eldest son is not there, then the eldest son and eldest grandson will be arranged to fall, if there is no eldest son and eldest grandson, then the second son will come, if there is no more, and so on, it must be operated in the order of the eldest and youngest.

There is also a saying that the more the clay pot breaks, the more the deceased's relatives will live safely and smoothly in the yang world, and the deceased will also be very smooth in the underworld. At the same time, the clay pot is required to be broken at once.

If you don't break the first time, you can't fall the second time. If it is not broken the second time, the coffin bearer walks over and crushes it. In another case, if the pot is not broken, the eldest son's family will treasure it.

It is believed that this is a blessing for the deceased to leave to future generations, which can bless future generations with prosperity.

Regarding whether some traditional funeral rites should be retained or eliminated altogether, people also have different opinions, and there is no consensus.

In fact, I think that we should take the essence of some customs and etiquette in the past and carry them forward. Because this is a cultural wealth passed down from generation to generation, it is extremely precious, once lost it will be difficult to regain it, these etiquette culture allows us to have roots and has a very important significance for us. For example, the clay pot, which is a manifestation of filial piety in the entire funeral ceremony, should not be diluted, let alone forgotten.

But we should also decisively eliminate the dross, such as the excessive extravagance and waste in the funeral ceremony. Society is constantly developing, and if it is not good, we should abandon it.
