Why can t Shouki do it himself, and is there any metaphysics in this?

The metaphysics is that it will affect one's lifespan, one's body after death, one's future development, one's family, and possibly one's next life.

It is because many people feel that this is also an disrespectful practice in their concepts, and they also feel that they are not professionals, so there is no way to control some small details and lengths in them, and they must be handed over to professionals.

First, it's the rule of the industry.

Every industry has its own rules, and the coffin industry is no different. Carpenters are not allowed to make longevity wood for themselves, which is one of the unwritten rules of the coffin industry, but everyone strictly obeys it. Because only by abiding by the rules can we avoid vicious competition and make the industry develop for a longer time.

At that time, if a carpenter violated this rule, he would be looked down upon by his peers and his reputation would suffer. Everyone will think that there is something wrong with the carpenter's character, and the coffin is very important to the deceased.

How can something so important be made by someone with a questionable character? Therefore, not to make longevity wood for yourself, this is professional ethics, but also professional ethics, this is the bottom line in the industry.

Second, others are more meticulous in making Shoumu for themselves.

The coffin is not only a place to bury the dead, but also affects the fortune of future generations. In the past, people were very superstitious and believed in Feng Shui. If you make a longevity wood for yourself, if you touch the taboo in feng shui, it will have a bad impact on your children and grandchildren.

Moreover, one person counts the shortness and the other counts the long, and there will always be some details that cannot be considered by one person. If two people discuss it together, they will be able to make Shouki more perfect. Therefore, it is better to tell other carpenter masters their ideas and requirements, and let other carpenter masters make them, so that the wisdom of two people is combined, and the longevity wood made will be better.

Although we all know now that Shoumu has nothing to do with Feng Shui for future generations, people in the past always had such hopes. I hope that after I die, I will be able to continue to hold my family and descendants underground.

This is a beautiful sustenance, a kind of ardent hope and hope. Nowadays, everyone has changed to cremation, and fewer and fewer people use Shouki. However, in the past, it was common for the elderly to start preparing their own shouki after the age of 60, hoping that they would have peace of mind when they died.

There is a custom in the countryside that Shoumu does not do it yourself, because it feels unlucky, and it will take away your own spirit, which is also bad for yourself, and it is also a habit of convention.

Shoumu is actually what we call a coffin, and the skills of the previous Shoumu people are very exquisite, and they are generally not very old. Shouki is generally 70-80 years old before preparing for himself. So on the one hand, Shouki's people are not at this age, so they will not prepare for themselves, and on the other hand, when they reach the age of 70-80, they do not have the strength to prepare for themselves.

Shoumu is also a coffin, and the reason why I don't make a coffin for myself may be because I am afraid of bad luck, people want to live a long life, and I feel that I want to die soon.

This situation is actually similar to us modern doctors who can't self-heal, and we Chinese pay special attention to the word auspicious, if you make this kind of thing for yourself, you will feel very unlucky.

This is the rule of the carpenter's business, and if you make longevity wood for yourself, you will break the rules of the trade, and you will be criticized, and you will be considered to be a bad character.

The third reason is that there are not many carpenters in the countryside, and the carpenter is generally ordered in advance, if the carpenter makes the carpenter for himself, it means that the carpenter is a dying person. And this thing is very unlucky in the countryside, which will make people in the same village have the idea of staying away from bad luckSo in order to avoid such a thing, Shou Carpenter will not make Shoumu for himself.

The reason why Shoumu craftsmen don't make Shoumu for themselves is probably because of the previous feng shui saying, for fear of causing bad luck to future generations. In addition, they have industry rules in this industry, which avoids competition and is conducive to the sustainable development of their industry.

Craftsmen who make shouki can do it for others and help shelter the dead, but if they can't shelter themselves, they can only let other craftsmen help them.

Carpenters do not make longevity wood for themselves because of industry practice, so a carpenter with noble character will not make longevity wood for himself. If you do something bad to yourself, you may bring bad things to your descendants, which is a superstitious ideology.

With the continuous development of rural areas, rural craftsmen are now becoming more and more popular. Speaking of rural craftsmen, everyone must be very impressed by these farmers, such as carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, and masons. It is precisely because of the existence of these people in the rural areas that the daily life in the rural areas will not lack the east and the west, and the wind and food will not be lacking.

In the past, a house in the countryside was basically built by stonemasons, carpenters, and masons, and without masonry there would be no solid foundation, without carpenters there would be no solid house structure, and without mason walls it would not be built.

Shoumu is also called coffin, which can be made of different materials, the most common is made of wood, generally cypress, pine, nanmu, willow, and paulownia. There are also coffins made of copper and stone. Moreover, the shape of Shoumu is not a common rectangle, there are boat-shaped coffins and round wooden coffins, etc., the most complete shape of the existing coffin is in the southeast of Taohua Village, 21 kilometers north of Pingba District, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, there is a Pingba coffin hole, there are hundreds of years of coffins in it, and there is a coffin keeper.

The craftsmen who make longevity wood are carpenters, and under the influence of their ancestor Luban, they strive to be delicate and delicate when doing work for others. They also take care of each other among their peers, and try to make sure that everyone has something to eat. You can't do anything without doing your job, you have to leave a way for others to live.

For example, when it comes to making shouki, carpenters generally don't do it for themselves. Think about it, if you have been a carpenter all your life, if you have done everything you will do in a hundred years, it will be too ruthless. Giving the longevity wood used after his death to other peers to make it means that he is the same family and everyone has food to eat.

Many industries have industry rules, starting from the ancestor and constantly improving in the inheritance, and the same is true for making a life coffin. The reason why I don't do it for myself is related to the rules, just like the doctor who didn't treat his family in the past, when the Bai family took refuge in Shaanxi in "Mansion Gate", the Bai mother was seriously ill during the period, although the Bai family was a medical family, but asked Shen Ye to treat the white mother. If the coffin maker makes a coffin for himself, it is like digging a gold well for himself, that is, digging his own grave, so he avoids it.

In the past, each industry had its own rules, and these conventions became white rules to facilitate the healthy development of various industries and avoid vicious competition. If anyone violates the rules, they will not only be looked down upon by future generations, but their reputation will also be tarnished.

Of course, it's to avoid it, of course, it's a superstitious behavior, but it's nothing, and you don't need to mind too much.

I think this is a rule left by them since ancient times, probably for fear of damaging their own yin virtue, and now with the development of science and technology, they dare now.

The reason why "craftsmen" don't make longevity for themselves may be because they are afraid of bad luck, and people who do this industry feel far away from people, and many people who fancy their reputation will not allow people around them to do work in this kind of industry, for fear that their reputation will be humiliated.

People who make longevity in the countryside can't make a longevity wood for themselves because it will be unlucky, so there is a custom.

Making a shouki for yourself should be worried about bad luck, after all, people want to live longer.

Because if you do it for yourself, it is unlucky, no one will curse yourself to die early, and it is possible for older people to do this.

In fact, I will also make a pair for myself, but I will do it at a special age, and it may not be very auspicious to do it in advance.

When cremation was not practiced in the past, many people chose to be buried after death. Because in the eyes of the ancients, only by preserving a complete body can we better reincarnate.

It's because you can't make a piece of longevity for yourself, because that would be unlucky, so there is a custom.

In our 5,000-year-old China, our ancestors have left a lot of customs. These customs are a kind of hope for us, and they contain a kind of spiritual belief of the people who used to do so. Even though we don't believe much now, we still have to be respectful.

The craftsman who makes Shoumu can do it for others and can help shelter the dead, but because of this, he can't shelter himself, so he can only ask other craftsmen to help.

With the implementation of the country's funeral reform, the custom of burial was gradually overthrown, and the business of making "coffins" (commonly known as longevity) also disappeared because of the withdrawal of burial. The status of craftsmen who used to "make longevity" is quite respected, because in people's traditional concepts, the longevity of the old man is equivalent to the old man's future house, which must be very important.

In the past, science was not developed, and some feng shui was particularly particular, for fear that some mistakes would affect the fortune of future generations, so it was very cautious, but it was better to ask other colleagues to do it on their behalf, and put forward reference suggestions on their own, so that they could let go of their hands and feet, and there was no need to worry about it.

Many people are over 50 years old, and when they reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, they will prepare a pair of longevity trees, and they will be able to see their longevity wood before they die, and they will be at ease when they die. There are many raw materials that can be used for longevity, and the tree species are generally selected for fir wood, and it is believed that fir wood is the best material for making longevity wood. The timber is cut and brought home to dry naturally, and then a carpenter is hired to make a coffin.

So it's not that you can't do it for yourself, from two aspects, one is because the wisdom of two people is always higher than the other, so you can avoid food. The second is some of the superstitious ideas mentioned above, and doing it yourself may not be useful in the underworld, so ask others to do it, and then refer to it yourself.

This is a practice of avoidance, and it may be a very bad implication to do so, so the craftsmen who make Shoumu do not make Shoumu for themselves, because it is unlucky.

Craftsmen who do Shoumu can't do it for themselves, it should be the rule that it is like this, thinking that it is unlucky to do it for themselves. It's the rule of their business.

I think this may be a rule of their industry, that is, you can't make shouki for yourself, you can only do it for others and you can only let others do it for yourself.

Because on the one hand, due to the ancient feudal superstition, it is very likely that you will not be able to let go of your fists and feet when you make a longevity wood for yourself, and if you hand over this matter to others, it will not violate this morality, and it will not make others look down on you.

It may be a risk avoidance, if you make a longevity wood for yourself, it means urging yourself to die quickly, which means that this implication is very bad.

This should be a taboo in their industry, and it is also a rule, just like a fortune teller who generally does not tell his own fortune, it cannot be broken.

It may be one, an unwritten rule, that craftsmen who do Shoumu are not allowed to do it for themselves, and can only ask others to help.

It could be their own industry, a certain regulation or something, or they have something to do for themselves, but you just don't know it.

This should be a taboo in the industry, many craftsmen do not do work for themselves, and furthermore, craftsmen who do longevity wood are even more taboo, and generally no one will make coffins for themselves.

First, for Feng Shui reasons.

In the past, technology was not as advanced as it is now, so many people would be convinced of Feng Shui numerology. Everyone thinks that if they don't do a good job of building their own coffins, it will affect the fortune and future of future generations. Therefore, it is especially cautious about this matter.

Rather than doing it yourself, if you don't do it well and have a bad impact, then it's better to leave it to someone else to do it. If you have any opinions, tell them directly and ask him to help you do it. After all, one's mind is always limited.

Now that everyone practices cremation, the coffin is slowly forgotten. But now everyone knows that this statement is actually a kind of feudal superstition. How can a coffin affect the fortunes of future generations?

This is just a kind of sustenance for life and a hope for young people in the past.

Second, it's industry practice.

All walks of life will have their own industry practices, and not making coffins for themselves is also an unwritten rule in this industry. Everyone has already agreed on it, and no one will deliberately break it. If everyone can make their own coffin, then it may form a vicious competition, which is not conducive to the development of the entire industry.

Everyone is in this circle, and they all hope that this industry can develop for a long time, so no one will deliberately break it. If someone deliberately violates this rule, then it is very likely that they will be looked down upon by their peers, and no one may come to make a coffin for themselves in the future.

In the past, making coffins was also an industry that needed to look at character. The coffin is for the deceased to use, the coffin is also known as the "longevity wood", if the person who makes the coffin itself is pointed at by everyone, then the coffin that comes out of this way everyone dare not use it!

It is a habit in the countryside to prepare a coffin for yourself after the age of 60, and the elderly feel that they are prepared for themselves, and they will feel more at ease when the time comes.
