What are the taboos when holding the folk custom of "crossing the bridge for the dead"?

There are still many taboos when the folk custom of offering sacrifices to the dead to cross the bridge is held again. You can't go out for a visit from the first day of June to the sixth day of June, and you can't go out at night, and your married daughter can't go back to her mother's house.

The undead crossing the bridge is a very interesting folk custom of offering sacrifices. This folk custom of offering sacrifices is very popular in Chaoshan, which was developed by the folklore of Emperor Taizong's visit to the underworld and Liu Quan's visit to melons at that time.

This story tells that Emperor Taizong was invited to the underworld to confront him at that time, and later Li Shimin's life span was extended by 2 years. Li Shimin said to repay Yan Luowang with melons and fruits, but Yan Luowang told Li Shimin that he had eaten both melons and pumpkins, but he didn't eat watermelon. Li Shimin promised to have watermelons delivered immediately after he went back.

But at that time, no one was willing to send this watermelon to Yan Ye. At that time, Liu Quan's wife died, and she was having a very bad life, so she asked for a watermelon. However, when Yan Yan got the watermelon, he was very happy, and he also fulfilled Liu Quan, allowing both husband and wife to return to Yangshi. Because his wife has been dead for several years, the body is gone, so the terrifying arranged for her to be reborn, so that the young girl who had just finished her life could become his wife's soul.

After that, this story was handed down among the people. Watermelon became an indispensable thing when Chaoshan people held a funeral for their relatives. At that time, there were many taboos, that is, from the first day of June, buying watermelon was a patent for mourners. Moreover, the married daughter is forbidden to return to her family, which means that her family has a funeral, which is very unlucky. You can't visit relatives and friends, and you can't go out at night.
