What Feng Shui taboos need to be paid attention to during the first seven days after the death of a loved one?
The "First Seven" refers to the seventh day after death. It is said that the soul of the deceased will return home on this day. Under normal circumstances, he will not harm his family members. But we need to pay attention to some things, otherwise it will affect not only the future reincarnation of the deceased, but also the future life of the family. For example, here are four important things to keep in mind.
First: Do not quarrel or quarrel with family members on the "first seven" days
The night of the "first seven" is the only opportunity for the deceased to return to the sun to visit his relatives. It cannot be called a "ghost". Therefore, the family members of the deceased must remember their deceased friends on that day, and must not continue to quarrel over trivial matters. If the deceased knows about it, he will be heartbroken, lingering on the world of mortals, and unable to let go for a long time.
Second: Beef, horse meat, and dog meat should be avoided in the "First Seven" tributes
On this day, the family members of the deceased will place some tributes at home to commemorate their ancestors. However, the selection of tributes is very particular, and beef, dog meat, and horse meat must not be included. Because on the first seven days, there will be four ghosts with bull heads and horse faces escorting the soul of the deceased home. Therefore, the tributes cannot be selected from those kinds of meat. For this, everyone chooses other meat dishes. The richer the dishes, the better. This is to reward the four sinners and protect the old friends from oppression.
Third: Place a bowl of water + grains in front of the door to ward off disasters
In addition to paying attention to the tributes on the first day, you must also place a bowl of water in front of the home. With a bowl of grains. The main purpose of doing this is to wash away the dust of the deceased, eliminate disasters, and prevent the invasion of evil spirits. It is worth noting that water and grains need to be processed in time the next morning. Water should be sprinkled in front of the door, and grains should be sprinkled into the river.
Fourth: People who are in confinement and those with four eyes are not suitable to participate in the first seven sacrifices
If someone is in confinement during the first seven days, this person is not allowed to participate in the first seven sacrifices. Otherwise, it will collide with the deceased person and the accompanying Yin soldiers. If the person dies in an accident, he or she will drag out the dream to his relatives, some of which will be about his unfinished business, and some will be about the loss that he cannot wait for. If the family members have such a dream and do what they have to do for them, they will no longer have any worries and can embark on the road to hell with peace of mind and never come back.
The "First Seven" is not unfamiliar to some older people, but not all people are aware of the taboos involved. Sometimes, there are many people who offend without realizing it, which ultimately leads to damage to the family's wealth, health, etc.
