An accident occurred during a funeral procession in Zhaotong. What is the significance of the coffin slipping?

An accident occurred during a funeral procession in Zhaotong, and the coffin slipped, which has a very special meaning.

In daily life, when carrying a coffin, you cannot land on the ground from the time you go out. You can rest in the middle until you go to the cemetery, but you must also use a wooden head to support the coffin. It must not fall to the ground. It is unlucky for a coffin to fall to the ground. However, on October 26, an accident occurred during a funeral procession in Zhaotong, Yunnan, resulting in many injuries. It can be seen from the live video that the rope above the coffin broke, causing the coffin to slide and knock the three people down the hillside. After preliminary verification, the accident resulted in 3 serious injuries and several minor injuries. So far, all the injured have been sent to hospital for treatment. The accident is being further processed.

In fact, it can be seen from the live video that many people wanted to carry the coffin to the top of the mountain, but because the slope was too steep, the people in front kept trying to pull it up. Because the coffin was too heavy, the ropes The coffin suddenly broke, causing the coffin to slide down. The person carrying the coffin below was crushed by the coffin because he could not run away in time, so he was injured.

This incident has also caused heated discussions on the Internet. So, what do netizens think of this incident?

Some netizens said: "A coffin weighs at least 500 kilograms. An old man passed away in Guizhou. Everyone who has carried it knows that there are eight people to carry it, four in the front and four in the back. There are so many people." When going up a steep slope, each person has an assistant beside them. When going up a steep slope, they pull with a rope, usually two hemp ropes used to move the river. "Some netizens said: "We tie the Dulong tree here. The short horizontal bar is connected with a single dragon wood, bolted and bolted, and two smooth wooden bars are added to the front and back. It is carried by eight people and supported by at least thirty or forty people. Women pull it at the front of the climb. I have never heard of a mistake. "

Some netizens also said: "My grandfather passed away and was buried deep in the mountains. The mountain road was the same. It snowed heavily on the day of the burial. About ten relatives and friends carried him up the mountain. It was not slippery underfoot, and everything went smoothly. It’s really unlucky to bury my grandfather.”

So, what’s the explanation for the coffin slipping?

In fact, according to some folk sayings, it may be that the deceased died unjustly and died strangely, or the deceased did not want to be sent away, so this strange scene happened. In fact, this may not have any scientific basis. , after all, it is just a rumor from the past generations. Of course, there is another way of saying that when a person dies and carries a coffin for burial, the coffin bearers walk quickly to show that they don’t need much effort, and the deceased is willing to return to the dust. I walked very slowly, and the coffin was very heavy. I remember that when another old man passed away in the village, the coffin bearers were so strenuous that they couldn't walk across the bridge, and had to be comforted by the old man's relatives.

Of course, these claims are just folk rumors. Basically, they have no scientific basis and cannot be true. For the deceased, respect is still needed. Of course, it must be said here that the slipping of the coffin is indeed a very unlucky thing.
