Avoid drinking and having fun on the day of a relative's funeral, and avoid doing auspicious things, such as drinking and having fun. Needless to say, doing joyful things on the day of the death of a person is considered disrespectful. On the "taboo day" which is also called "taboo food day", the ancients said: "The Book of Rites - Tan Gong Shang" says: "A gentleman has lifelong worries but no one-day troubles, so he should not be happy on the taboo day." This is what everyone follows. 2. Avoid having hair cuts or shaving. If someone dies in the family, family members or men are not allowed to have hair cuts or shaves within one month. When an elder passes away, it is usually the younger generation who observe the custom of keeping hair, believing that hair is inherited from parents and that when a loved one passes away, keeping hair is a way to express grief, filial piety and longing. Some areas also believe that getting a haircut is a way to change one's appearance so that the dead cannot recognize them and avoid disasters. There is also another saying that a baby can only have his hair cut 100 days after birth, otherwise the baby may die. 3. Avoid holding funerals on even days . Even days are a bad omen, as they are believed to mean the death of two people. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and avoid being held on even days. 4. It is taboo to hold funerals at noon. This is a taboo custom in the Li ethnic group area. If someone dies in a Li family, they are usually buried in the afternoon after dying in the morning, or the next day after dying in the afternoon. The body is kept at home for a very short time, but it is taboo to hold the funeral at noon. It is believed that violating taboos will bring disaster. 5. Avoid shedding tears on the body. There is a saying in some areas that if someone in the family dies, you should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid shedding tears on the body. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened. 6. It is a Manchu taboo to carry the coffin out of the door . It is believed that doors are places for people to enter and exit, and it is taboo for the deceased to walk sideways, otherwise it is considered unlucky, so there is a custom of taking out the coffin through the window. 7. Avoid having cats appearing before the funeral or when keeping vigil over the body. It is considered taboo to have cats approach the body. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be like the deceased suddenly standing up, bringing harm to the family.Do you want to know your own Bazi?
