Is burial after death unlucky for future generations?

Burial is just a burial custom, and there is no harm. Burial originated from primitive society, such as Banpo civilization, and was later adopted by Xia and Yin.

After entering the class society, there are obvious grade differences between the upper and lower levels. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the rulers banned cremation on the grounds that "the body is damaged and parents dare not damage it", so burial became a common burial style of the Han nationality and was passed down from generation to generation.

Although there are differences in the forms and characteristics of burial among different nationalities and historical periods in China, the basic idea is the same, that is, the deceased should preserve the remains and "bury", so the custom of burial has a long history.

In some ethnic minorities, there are also people who regard burial as the worst burial method, such as cremation, celestial burial and water burial among Tibetans. Burying infectious patients or robbers suffering from leprosy and smallpox and prisoners who died after being punished is considered to eradicate the epidemic of plague and punish evil, so they can go to hell and cannot be reincarnated. Later, due to the custom of burial in Dachengguo Academy, it wasted people's money, occupied farmland indiscriminately and spread diseases, so after the founding of New China, it was gradually replaced by cremation law, but burial still existed in remote rural areas.
