What do you think of funerals in rural areas?

In 1922, Einstein commented on the Chinese funerals he observed at that time:

(Chinese funerals) seem barbaric to us (as if they are uncivilized) , the streets were crowded with pedestrians. (Like a farce)?

Funerals in rural China, how should I say, are full of the residual poison of feudal autocracy and feudal ethics, such as when to cry as if it is acting (for example, When you go to a funeral, you need to pretend to cry when you arrive, otherwise it is not in line with the etiquette and you will not be able to "behave"), (there is also the so-called more or less prayer that I saw before, I don't know if it is extinct now), this is in line with their "etiquette" ", etiquette makes them gradually become like zombies, rather than like living people with independent souls.

A funeral is mainly a farewell etiquette. You can say goodbye solemnly, or you can talk and laugh optimistically about the life of the deceased and say goodbye with a smile like Westerners do. It is better not to cry in a mess, as Mr. Lu Xun said, "I just think they are noisy."

As for sadness, it is mainly your own business. There is no need to act it out in public for others to see. This kind of giant baby acting mentality is extremely ridiculous! You can refer to "The Deep Structure of Chinese Culture"

As an observer, I agree with Einstein's observation. It is difficult for people to make rational judgments, because people are easily affected by emotions, and people's instincts are selfish and to protect the interests of themselves/their own group. At this time, the opinions of bystanders who have no interest in you are often the most sober and objective.
