What kind of grave is a funeral clay pot grave ? How did it come about?

The clay pot grave refers to the old mothers of the family in the ancient feudal dynasties, who would be placed in a dug grave by their children after reaching the age of 60. And these children would bring them a meal every day, and at each meal they would take a tile and build a grave, until the grave was formed, and they would not have to deliver food. Such feudal customs and ideas that have lost their conscience.

If it is really implemented, I believe it will be spurned by most people. However, it remains to be seen whether such a large-scale atmosphere has been formed in society in history. Seeing this, I believe that many people feel lucky to be born in such an era, and we can have no worries about food and clothing, all thanks to the hard work of our party.

The so-called "clay pot tomb" is to dig a one-person sized tomb in the ground first, and then build stone bricks on three sides, leaving only one exit, because it resembles a "clay pot", so it is named "clay pot tomb". Due to feudal superstition and low productivity, the elderly in the village were regarded as "superfluous" or "useless" because of their old age, and in order to save food rations and avoid "waste" of resources, there was a provision for the elderly over 60 years old to be sent to the "clay pot grave".

This is a funeral ritual of the ancients, where the bones of people were picked up and buried in clay pots after death, and this funeral custom can be traced back to ancient times, such as the Hongshan culture.

In fact, they are all buried in the ground at first, but generally the corpse will decompose after three years, so at this time, the bones are stored in a clay pot to let it be stored longer.

The human head was stuffed into an earthen pot for burial. In ancient times, emperors and princes would put the heads of defeated enemies in clay pots, burn them, and then cut off their heads for burial.

A clay pot tomb is a grave that resembles a clay pot, and this type of grave is reserved for the elderly over 60 years old. When the parents reached the age of 60, whether the parents were sick or not, the children would dig a hole similar to a clay pot in the nearby mountain, and then carry the parents to the mountain, put them in the hole, and then deliver food every day, and a brick was needed to deliver a meal, until the hole was closed, no more food was delivered, and the old man starved to death in the grave.

It is a folklore that refers to the custom of burying an old man alive. But so far this legend has not been confirmed.

I believe that the "clay pot grave" in the wild history exists, although there is no record of it in the official history. Many things in ancient China are now very vague, and people can only understand them by guessing. It is not even certain whether something exists, and the clay pot grave is one such thing.

The clay pot grave does not refer to a kind of grave, it refers to a form, and the strangeness of this form lies in burying the old man alive. A clay pot tomb is a type of crockpot-like tomb that is half above ground and half underground. The underground is a dug tomb, and the above ground is made of masonry and stone.

After the tomb was built, one side was unmasonry and blank.

The unmasonry side is for the convenience of putting people in, which is also the cruelest part of the clay pot tomb. Legend has it that people over the age of 60 who are unable to work will be placed in such clay pots, and when the time is right, the tombs will be sealed. As for when it will be sealed, it depends on the filial piety of the old man's children.

After putting the elderly in a clay pot, people would come every day to deliver food. But if you don't deliver a meal to the elderly, you will lay a brick. After the tomb is bricked to death, it will not matter whether the old man is still alive or not.

Some children will not bear it, and they will take days to lay a brick. And those who do not have filial piety are eager to build two bricks a day, and just want to get rid of this oil bottle as soon as possible.

Although there is no record of this "clay pot tomb" in the official history, it is mentioned in the wild histories and legends of various places, and although it may be called differently, the form is the same. This is also the reason why I think the "clay pot grave" really exists, and it is unlikely that such a large-scale legend is groundless.

Our country has a long, long history, and the long history is not only brilliant and brilliant, but also dark and cruel. Even in modern times, there are still very dark things in many remote areas. It is entirely possible to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in a way such as "clay pot graves".

Although there is no record of it in the official history, I think that there is a "clay pot tomb" in the wild history, and in ancient times, children would carry their elderly parents to the clay pot tomb to prepare enough food for them, let them live and cook in it, and then slowly build the tomb and leave their parents to fend for themselves in it.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was mentioned that Yunnan had the custom of "clay pot tomb", parents reached the age of 60, and the children carried their parents up the mountain, dug a similar clay pot, and put the parents in it.

It really exists. A few years ago, an ancient tomb was dug up near my hometown, and it is said that it has all the stoves and bedding utensils. The old people said it was a clay pot tomb.

In ancient times, children would carry their elderly parents to the clay pot grave to prepare enough food for them to live in and cook, and then slowly build the grave and leave their parents to fend for themselves. Thinking about it now makes my scalp tingle.

The clay pot tomb is a feudal custom in ancient times. When his parents were over 50 years old, they would put their mother in a grave made of bricks, and they would slowly bury their parents alive every day. This feudal custom was terrible, but it was no longer there.

The clay pot grave is a bad habit in the old society, when the old man at home is old, he will build a clay pot house, and seal it with green bricks, only send one meal a day, and add a green brick, and when the green brick is sealed, the old man is sealed in the clay pot tomb.

A clay pot grave is a place where children place their parents in a crockpot-like house set up outside the village, deliver food once a day, and fill the door of the house with a brick until the door is sealed with a brick lock, which is equivalent to burying their parents, because it looks like a clay pot from a distance, so it is called a clay pot grave.

Historically, there is basically no record of clay pot tombs, but they are passed down by word of mouth. The Chinese nation has always been influenced by Confucianism and pays attention to filial piety. It is not possible to determine whether this custom exists or not. If such a custom exists, it should only be spread on a small scale.

The funeral custom of burying the old man alive in the history books is not recorded in the history books, most of them are rumors passed down by word of mouth, this bad habit is contrary to the traditional thinking of our Confucianism, good and filial piety first, and it is not allowed to practice this bad habit, if there is, it is very likely to occur in remote mountainous areas, areas with shallow legal and moral awareness.

This really existed in ancient times, but it is not in modern times, because it is illegal and you have to be arrested and imprisoned.

Exist. The customs of the ancient times were strange and there were some bad habits, and the clay pot tombs were similar to the fire tombs of today.
