Three taboos in mourning.

In the traditional customs of China people, life and death are important events in life. At the last moment of death, if no one can accompany you, you will go to the burial place of the deceased after death to bid farewell to the last journey of the deceased in the world. Mourning is not only related to the safe departure of the deceased, but also to the peaceful life of the younger generation. Therefore, there are three major feng shui taboos in mourning.

1, the shield shall avoid even numbers and materials.

In China, since ancient times, it has been said that old people will feel at ease when they see the shroud. However, the elderly need to wear odd shroud before entering the coffin, such as 1, 3, 5 pieces, and even shroud pieces are forbidden. The shroud material should not be "satin" and animal fur, but "silk". The homonym "thick" will benefit future generations.

Don't be afraid of tears and animals at the funeral.

Funeral is the middle ceremony of funeral. Although customs vary from place to place, the most taboo is that relatives cry and animals are close to the dead. These are all symbols of disrespect for the deceased, making it impossible to leave peacefully. The dead are uneasy, the living are uneasy, and the funeral can't be completed smoothly.

3. Funeral taboo and Feng Shui forbidden area

During the mourning period, the mourning hall should be empty and the mourning days should be even. You can usually stop for three days, five days and seven days. Choose a flat bottom when burying. Buried pits should not be too large, and the surrounding pits should be uneven. At the same time, you can also ask Feng Shui master to choose the location of the cemetery.

In addition to the above three taboos, different regions and nationalities also have different taboos and customs when attending funerals. For example, the geomantic omen in the cemetery will be invited to help them choose, and there are different ways to mourn the funeral of the deceased old man and the accidental death of middle-aged people.
