What does the so-called "7 out of 8 not buried" mean?

The so-called "seven out of eight don't bury" is a custom. No funeral or burial is allowed in case of the seventh, eighth, seventeenth and eighteenth day.

This is the custom of doing things in Youcheng.

When the patient is about to die, the relatives standing by should seize the opportunity to close their eyes and mouths to prevent bleeding from seven orifices. After dying, they should wipe their bodies with warm water and put on the shroud while it is hot, in order to let them go clean. To respect the deceased is to "be a big event."

After putting on the shroud for the deceased, they can be carried to the grass bed in the hall, and the head rest is adobe, and the face is covered with a face covering cloth (the area around Shangzhuang and Fengdian is not covered). If there is a high hall on the deceased, you can't use Gordon's grass shop, you can only use a low stool (the front and back water valleys carry the deceased to the table). Carry it to the grass bed, put it on the altar and offering, light the ever-burning lamp and incense, put it on the old basin and burn the ghost paper. During the mourning period, give the deceased a symbolic meal before each meal.

After everything is ready, you can't mourn for the time being. First, ask your parents to ask Mr. Feng Shui to look at the date: don't cry at the tea mouth, don't bury for seven days, don't bury for eight days, and the fifth, fourteenth and 23rd days are the days when the moon is dead. You can't be buried on these days in the lunar calendar, depending on whether you commit seven days or heavy mourning. If you commit heavy mourning on the day of your death, you need to put a small coffin as big as a palm next to it. The relevant funeral activities can only be carried out after the date is chosen.

About the migration of Sophora japonica

During the Ming Dynasty, some family ancestors of this village migrated from other places.

According to historical records, from the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty to the fifteenth year of Yongle, * * * organized eight large-scale immigration activities, involving 882 surnames in more than 49 counties and cities in 18 provinces.

Hongdong County is the most populous county in southern Shanxi Province, and it undertakes the main task of immigration. The immigration law of the Ming Dynasty is that a family of four stays for a family of six, two for a family of eight, and three for a family of eight.

local government officials went through the immigration formalities for people under a big pagoda tree in Guangji Temple, Hongtong County. People who were forced to emigrate dragged their children and children, helped the old and took care of the young, and reluctantly left their hometown. In order to let their children remember their hometown forever, they told their children that one day they could find their hometown, and we all went out from the old stork nest of the big pagoda tree.

who is the ancient locust? If the ancestors of two petals of little toenails came from Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi, it is not nonsense. It has been proved by scholars that the migration direction and the distribution of petaloid toenails in the Ming Dynasty coincided regularly from Shanxi and Shaanxi to the southeast through the Central Plains.
