    "Burning seven" means that every seven days is a sacrifice day from the day of the death of the deceased, called "the first seven", "two seven", "three seven", "four seven", "five seven", "six seven", and "last seven", a total of 49 days. Folklore has that people have three souls and seven souls, one soul one year after death, one soul in seven days, three years of soul, seven full souls, so it is necessary to pass the "seven periods" and three anniversaries. There is another folk saying, it is said that after the death of the deceased, within 49 days, the king of Hades will interrogate the soul of the deceased once every seven days, so the "seven phases" are also called "seven plagues".

    1. The elderly in charge.

    In the days of May Seven, the old man who is respected in the village should be invited to preside over the funeral, and the old man who is often in charge of the May Seven will know the process of burning paper, so it is necessary to go to the village in advance to invite the old man to preside over the funeral.

    3. Burn notoginseng.

    Burning Wuqi is one of the funeral rituals, which refers to the 35th day after the death of the deceased, the family of the deceased will go to the grave of the deceased to burn paper to express mourning, and also prepare the family so that the deceased can rest in peace.

    After death, people pay attention to:

    After the death of a person, relatives set up a fasting meeting to make a sacrifice (or posthumous recommendation) every seven days, seven times before and after, for a total of 7,749 days.

    There are still various particularities in folk beliefs, such as the first "seven" called the first seven, for example, the son sets up the Mu's code for the deceased father (mother) to burn paper money, and invites the monk to recite the scriptures; Twenty-seven asks for the Tao to annihilate which scholar is still born in the scriptures; Three.

    Seven, four-seven is commonly known as "scattered seven", can be done by nephews and nephews.

    Five or seven times more valued, and there is also a "return" ceremony; Six or seven daughters prepare wine and meals, and if there are no daughters, nieces and nieces; Qiqi is called "broken seven", and the mourning family offers wine and food to pay tribute, and recites scriptures to remove spirits, etc.

    In fact, doing the seven customs is not the content of the traditional funeral customs advocated by Confucianism. Issues such as the ** of the seven customs and the connotation of their beliefs have been discussed so far, and there is no conclusive conclusion.

    However, there are different customs in different places, so it is best to combine them with local customs.

In recent years, there are four or five hundred thousand people who go out to study every year, and there are four or five hundred thousand "returnees" who come back every year. In a word, if you have the ability, you want him to come back, but he won't come back, because he can also live well over there (this kind of thing only accounts for a very small number of international students); If you don't have the ability, you don't want him to come back, but he will come back too, because it is difficult for him to survive there (this kind is the vast majority of international students). The vast majority of international students now (except for those who graduated from top universities such as Qingbei Fujiao and went to study in world-class universities such as Europe and the United States) are because they can't get into good universities in China, and a large part of them can't even get into high school, and their families can afford to pay for them, these international students are incomparable with the international students in the 80s of the last century, at that time, the best young students were selected by the state to study abroad, and the family did not need to spend money, only 500 people were sent a year at the earliest, and then there were thousands of people a year; Now there are more than 500,000 people who go out to study a year, there are very few excellent ones, less than 10,000 people as a whole, most of them are scumbags, most of them are those who can't get into high school or can't get into a good high school, or can't get into a good university.
