China's funeral customs have a very strong Confucian characteristics, although there are different customs and habits in all parts of the country, but basically or a "filial piety" word. But there is a funeral custom that is more fashionable in most parts of the country, and that is that after the death of a father or mother, the eldest son of the family will break the pot, and the more it breaks, the higher it is.
The name of each location is different, and some areas are called "good luck basin", "yang yin basin", and "mourning basin". The radius of the tile basin is generally about 2 feet, and the depth is more than 1 foot. There is a round hole in the middle of the basin, which is a floor tile.
When the coffin is to be buried, the son has to throw the clay pot early. Waban means: "long-term security".
The more you fall, the better. The eldest son is not under the eldest son and the outer grandson, but the eldest son and the outer grandson fall under the second son, and the second son falls on the clay basin in the order of alternating men, women, and children. All in all, there is no doubt that there are direct blood relatives who have fallen into the basin.
If the deceased does not have children, the family needs to be given a maximum of five clothes and pants, and those who find the deceased's nephew will drop the pot. In ancient times, the fallen person could inherit the vast majority of the property of the deceased.
It is rumored that Fan Li made a fortune by making pottery, because he was worried about driving the crane west in his own way, and this ancestral industry was not clear to whom. Therefore, he asked the villagers to be active in his own house and asked everyone what to do with this kind of clay pot after his death. The villagers made many suggestions for him, but Fan Li was not satisfied.
Until a young man stood up and said that people are in things, and people are dead, and things are dead. The young man means that even if the master's house is gone, then all these clay pots will be broken!
didn't think that Fan Li was particularly satisfied with this, so he told the villagers that when he drove Hexi to the ancestral industry, he would hand over this young man. Just let the young man break a pot. As a result, the custom of throwing clay pots has been widely spread, and since it includes inheritance and obligations, it is usually the eldest son who falls.
