Why can't people who make longevity trees in rural areas make a pair of longevity trees for themselves?
In the past, technology was not as developed as it is now, so many people believe in geomantic numerology. Everyone thinks that building a coffin for themselves will affect the fortune and future of future generations. So we are very cautious about this matter.
Instead of doing it yourself, in case of bad influence, it is better to give it to others. So you can see for yourself. If you have any comments, you can directly tell the other party and let him help you finish it. After all, a person's thinking is always limited.
Now everyone is cremated, and the coffin is slowly forgotten. But now everyone knows that this statement is actually a feudal superstition. How does the coffin affect the fate of future generations? This is just a sustenance for life and a hope for young people in the past.
Second, this is an industry practice.
All walks of life will have their own industry practices, and it is also an unwritten rule in this industry not to make their own coffins. Everyone has agreed on the custom, so no one will break it on purpose. If everyone can make their own coffins, it may lead to vicious competition, which is not conducive to the development of the whole industry.
Everyone is in this circle and hopes that this industry can develop for a long time, so no one will deliberately break it. If someone deliberately violates this rule, it is likely to be looked down upon by his peers, and no one may come to make his coffin in the future.
In the past, making coffins was also an industry that needed to look at personality. Coffins are for the dead. Are coffins also called coffins? Shoumu? If the coffin maker is pointed at by everyone, then everyone will not dare to use the coffin made in this way!
The custom in the countryside is to prepare a coffin for yourself after 60 years old. The old man feels ready and will feel more at ease when it's time to go.
