These customs have been passed down to this day and have lasted for a long time.

According to the lunar calendar of August 15, 2022, " burial " is taboo on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is not suitable for funerals , but it is an auspicious day .What should you pay attention to during a funeral?1. No tombstones are erected on new graves. In movies and TV shows, tombstones are erected on new graves. This was very strange in ancient rural areas. In fact, there are some rules for erecting a tombstone: ① If one of the parents is still alive, a tombstone cannot be erected; ② No tombstones are erected on new graves; ③ A tombstone is erected for three generations, that is, if no tombstone has been erected for the great-grandfather or grandfather, a tombstone cannot be erected for the father's generation. 2. You cannot go to pay your respects empty-handed. People in the countryside believe in "calling for happy events and arriving for funerals." When there is a funeral in the village, neighbors should take the initiative to help. People cannot go to pay their respects empty-handed. At the very least, they must carry a paper cushion. Depending on the closeness of the relationship, some people may also give money or bring a bottle of wine. 3. The mourning hat must be torn off in front of the grave . When the second generation of farmers return home to attend the funeral, the elders of the family will definitely instruct that the mourning hat and mourning shirt worn for the funeral should be torn into cloth before returning after the burial, except for their own children. 4. Pay money if you need to borrow something from a neighbor during a funeral in the countryside, no matter how much, you must pay the neighbor so as not to owe the deceased a favor, to avoid being "nagging" in the future. This is the most taboo for rural people. Even if you give someone 50 cents, they have to give it to them, and they will definitely take it, so as not to cause them trouble. 5. There are no graves for parents who have died alone. In rural fields, those low and slightly raised graves are generally for those who have died alone but whose spouses are still alive. According to rural folk customs, a high grave mound invites people to come. In order to ensure that the elderly who are still alive can live a healthy and long life, graves are generally not built for single deceased persons. After both parents die, they are buried together and then the grave is built and properly constructed. 6. A son should avoid breaking the funeral basin twice. The funeral basin is also called the old basin, which is a clay basin used to burn paper money in front of the coffin after a person dies. When the coffin is removed, the eldest son or grandson will break it into pieces. If a father dies, he will break it with his left hand, and if a mother dies, he will break it with his right hand. The more broken the basin is, the better, as a symbol of peace and prosperity for all years to come. But if it doesn't break at once, don't try to break it a second time, or the person who is arguing with you will step on it and break it. 7. During the funeral, the son-in-law carries a banner to lead the way and the son breaks a pot. The son-in-law carries a banner, which generally means that during the funeral, the eldest son-in-law of the deceased must be at the front of the team, carrying a huge banner made of fresh willow branches. This banner, also called the money tree, is to be inserted next to the grave door after burial, but it must be shaken every time during the seven-day cremation ceremony to prevent the tree from taking root and growing. 8. You are not allowed to look back on the way back after the burial . You can cry during the burial, but you are not allowed to shed tears or look back on the way back. You have to act more resolute. It is said that if you look back while crying, the deceased will feel sorry for you and will follow you back home. 9. You have to pay for things you buy for the deceased yourself . People in rural areas are very strict about this, especially paper items for the deceased. If you leave your name on them and say they are sent by you, then no matter how much the money is, it must be paid for by you yourself. Otherwise, you are deceiving the gods and ghosts, and it is generally believed in rural areas that it will be bad for you and cause trouble. Sometimes the second generation of farmers in the city go back to their hometown to attend a funeral. If they can’t spare the time to go home, they will ask someone to bring a paper cushion back. Don’t forget to give the person money.Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
