In rural areas where burials are practiced, there is a custom of "drilling gold wells". There are many things to pay attention to when digging a grave. What should you pay attention to?

In rural areas of our country, there is a saying that the deceased is the oldest. Generally, great emphasis is placed on weddings and funerals. They believe that a person's life spans from birth to old age, illness, death, poverty, wealth, and wealth, and in the end he must be buried in peace. The deceased must be buried in his hometown, so that he can truly go home. Although our country now strongly advocates cremation and burial, burials are still more common in deep rural areas. Our country does not recommend burial because of the consideration of the country’s land and environment. Moreover, burial is a relatively cumbersome process compared to cremation and water burial. But who makes it the traditional funeral method in our country? Most people still insist on burial. There is a saying of "drilling a gold well" when burying people in rural areas. This often makes people confused. What does it mean? It turns out that the so-called golden well is actually the tomb of the deceased, which is a term of respect for the deceased. To put it bluntly, it means digging a grave, putting the deceased and the coffin in it at the same time, and finally burying it with soil. It sounds simple, but there are a lot of details in rural areas. First of all, Feng Shui is more important in rural areas. No matter whether it is red or white, choose a better location, so choosing a location is a very important thing. Usually, people are paid to do calculations to select a suitable land for burying the deceased. The next step is to select the size and depth of the gold well. In northern or southern my country, there will be a local standard size, and everyone will implement it according to this size. What is more important to pay attention to is the direction of the coffin. Generally, the east-west direction is chosen, while choosing the north-south direction means bad things. This is something that should be paid attention to. When it comes to carrying out these tasks, they usually have to find other people in the village to help, and there are many people willing to help with such trivial matters. But when we select people, we must select those who have children and parents who are still alive, so that they can appear more auspicious. As for burial, rural people still adhere to this practice. However, in order to respond to national policies, it is recommended that cremation is more reasonable.
