What are the taboos at funerals?

1. Avoid holding funerals on double-year dates. Even days are a bad omen, as people believe that a funeral held on an even day means two deaths. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and not on even days.
2. Avoid holding funerals at noon. This taboo custom exists 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.
3. Avoid shedding tears on the corpse. There is a saying circulating in some areas that if someone in the family dies, one should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid spilling tears on the corpse. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened.
4. Avoid letting the coffin go out through the door. There is a saying that the Manchus have taboo customs. 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.
5. Cats are not allowed to appear in front of the coffin. Before the funeral, the body is kept at the wake and cats are not allowed to approach. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be as if the deceased suddenly stands up, which means harm to the family.

What month is the twelfth month in the lunar calendar?

The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also known as the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.
There are many traditional folk activities during the twelfth lunar month. This title has little to do with the natural seasons, but is mainly related to the annual sacrifices. The so-called "La" was originally the name of the sacrifice at the end of the year. In Customs and Meanings, a work by Ying Shao of the Han Dynasty, it said: "In the Xia Dynasty, it was called Jiaping; in the Yin Dynasty, it was called Qingsi; in the Zhou Dynasty, it was called Da La; and in the Han Dynasty, it was changed to La. La means hunting, which means hunting for animals to sacrifice to the ancestors." Or it is said: "La means connection, the connection between the new and the old, so a big sacrifice is held to report the merits." Whether it is offering animals to ancestors after hunting, or worshiping gods at the turn of the old and the new, sacrificial activities must be held, so the twelfth lunar month is a month for sacrifice. It should be noted that the twelfth month of the lunar calendar does not necessarily refer to the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. For details, see the "Basic Overview" column of the "Leap December" entry.
