Feng Shui funeral customs

In addition to burial in old customs, there were also cremation and water burial. "Chenghai County Chronicles" written by Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty records: "For a powerless family, people used to live in Huocuo in the past. Now they obey the orders of the emperor, and the old customs are completely abandoned." "Conghuo" means cremation. At that time, the government issued an order not to allow it, and later on, except for Buddhists, no one was heard of cremation. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that crematoriums were set up in Shantou and other counties one after another and cremation was promoted, that major changes occurred in burial customs. Water burials were only found in a few egg houses along the coast. When the Dan family died, they wore shrouds, tied stones to the corpses, and sank into the sea. Nowadays, it is also changed to burial or cremation.
