When I moved the grave, I found that the bodies that had been dead for decades had not rotted. What do you think of your feng shui?

In the old society, people attached great importance to carrying on the family line, thinking that when the old man died, there must be descendants present, so that the old man would not be lonely when he left, and he would not have to worry all the time in the underworld, so that his soul could be at peace.

If the old man dies in front of all his relatives, it is the greatest blessing. According to legend, Bai people believe that the old man died in the arms of his children and grandchildren, commonly known as "suffering indignities."

Second, it is forbidden for the dead to leave naked.

Many places in the north emphasize that the deceased should be dressed neatly before his death, and the deceased should not be allowed to run naked. Therefore, in the old society, when the old people reached a certain age, their children and grandchildren often prepared shroud for them in leap month, so that the old people could look at it with confidence.

The quantity and texture of the shroud are very particular. The number should be odd, such as five, seven, nine, and avoid even numbers, for fear of disaster coming again. In terms of materials, satin should be avoided. Because "satin" is homophonic with "broken", silk should be used more, because "silk" is homophonic with "thick", which means that it will bless many future generations, while fur can't be used for shroud, for fear of becoming an animal in the afterlife.

Third, the taboo of burial.

1. Don't cry on the corpse when you leave. When buried, relatives should temporarily hold back their sadness and control their tears so as not to spill them on their bodies.

2. Before and after the funeral, cats and dogs are forbidden to approach the corpse, which is thought to cause the deceased to suddenly stand up or become a zombie.

3, the coffin is taboo to use willow. The coffin is made of pine and cypress, not willow. Because pine and cypress symbolize longevity, willow trees will not bear seeds and may never see them again.

Fourth, the taboo of mourning.

In the funeral home, white cloth and white paper should be hung on the gate to let people know that someone in the family has passed away, and send a message to relatives in other places or overseas so that children can hear the news and attend the funeral. Among them, it is especially prudent to report the funeral to the relatives in marriage.

After the parents died and the date of the funeral was fixed, the dutiful son was going to visit relatives. During the funeral, be careful that the dutiful son does not enter the house, kneel outside and salute first, and report the news of his parents' death and the time of the funeral to his relatives.

Fifth, the date of funeral and the choice of cemetery.

The ancients thought that the soul would not go far at once after death, and death would involve many matters, so the ancients paid special attention to the choice of funeral date to avoid a series of misfortunes.

The choice of cemetery has been very particular since ancient times. It is generally believed that the quality of a cemetery is directly related to the wealth and good fortune of future generations. In the old society, there were ten folk songs about the taboo of choosing a tomb: 1. Don't bury rough and stubborn stones; 2. Don't bury the beachhead; 3. Don't bury the ditch source and despair; 4. Don't bury the left and right prisoners; 7. Don't bury the hills and hills; 8. Don't bury the feng shui worries; 9. Don't bury the dragon and tiger tips. Therefore, professional Feng Shui masters should be invited to choose the date of funeral and the best Feng Shui cemetery.

Sixth, taboo after burial.

After the deceased is buried, mourners should walk around the tomb for three weeks, and avoid looking back on the way home to prevent the ghost of the deceased from following the living home.

Seventh, it is forbidden to visit relatives and friends during the mourning period.

Children should not visit relatives and friends, get together, pay New Year greetings, and especially don't go to patients' homes during the mourning period, so as not to bring misfortune to others. As the saying goes, "Dress filial, don't go next door."

Eighth, children are forbidden to wear bright clothes during mourning.

After the old man dies, children should be filial. In ancient times, they usually had to be filial for three years. Modern time is shortened, but it should not be less than one year. During the mourning period, children are forbidden to wear colorful clothes, make up heavily and drink and have fun.
