It is also very important to choose a good time for the funeral. So, let’s see if November 12th of the lunar calendar in 2020 is a good day? Can the funeral be held?

Make an appointment with Mr. Shui Mo in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar and spend the winter solstice with you.Is November 12, 2020 a good day in the lunar calendar? Can the funeral be held?Lunar calendar: November 12, 2020 Gregorian calendar: December 26, 2020, Saturday, Capricorn【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】 [Do not use it on days when death is a serious matter] Breaking ground, drilling, grave repair, burial, offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, accepting marriage proposals, taking office, getting married, seeking offspring, accepting money, erecting pillars and beams, traveling, litigation, removing mourning clothes, entering the house, setting up the bed, opening the warehouse, and governing the way [Today’s taboos in the almanac] [Do not use it on days when death is a serious matter] From the above [Today's Old Almanac] we can see that because of the influence of [Do not use the day for major events related to death], it is not recommended to hold a funeral on that day. What does it mean that if you are on duty and die, don't use it for important matters?"It is a day of death, so don't do anything important" is the fortune saying, which means that all aspects of today are full, and one more point will be too much, so it is not suitable to do anything. Don't do anything important on this day. This sentence comes from the "Huang Li", which is a perpetual calendar based on the Chinese lunar calendar and contains daily auspicious and inauspicious information. According to legend, the Yellow Calendar was created by Emperor Huangdi, hence the name Yellow Calendar. The main contents of the lunar calendar include the 24 solar terms, daily do's and don'ts, the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the gods on duty, the constellations, the phases of the moon, auspicious gods and evil spirits, etc. The "Imperial Calendar" mainly records the calendar of the current year, and a new calendar will be replaced after that year. However, since the calendars were all given by the emperor, the old calendar must be carefully preserved. Therefore, people gave the old calendar an "old" word and called it the "Old Imperial Calendar". The "Old Imperial Calendar" is not suitable for the new year. Therefore, the "Old Imperial Calendar" has gradually evolved into a derogatory term, used to refer to conservative thoughts and behaviors.About the funeral processionThere are people leading the way at the front of the funeral procession. Along the way, they put up "road flags" - small triangular flags made of colorful or white paper to guide the soul of the deceased; they also scatter paper money to guide the way, to show that they have bribed the ghosts along the way. Next come the ceremonial guards, various paper-made items (called "paper writings" in Xing County area), coarse and fine music bands, soul-guiding banners carried by nephews or grandsons, people carrying benches, and then the filial sons pulling the ropes and holding the mourning sticks, followed by the coffin, and behind the coffin are the female relatives sitting in carriages and sedan chairs, and relatives and friends on foot.When the funeral procession reaches a crowded place or a major intersection, the coffin will stop for a roadside sacrifice and the drums and music will also stop playing. In ancient times, sacrifices were usually offered by relatives, friends and neighbors. Later, most sacrifices were offered by the bereaved family themselves. The purpose was simply to show that the funeral was grand and solemn. After arriving outside the village, the relatives and friends who had come to attend the funeral stopped and the deceased's son came to express his gratitude. Then the coffin cover is removed and the ceremonial procession stops, with only family members and close relatives carrying paper offerings and sacrificial offerings along with the coffin to the cemetery. When the time comes, the burial will take place immediately. After the coffin is placed in the tomb, in the area of Qi County, Jinzhong, a fortune teller will set up a compass to determine the direction, moving it left and right until he thinks it is right. The general direction is southeast - northwest (Qian - Xun positions), and there is a saying in the locals that "the Purple Gold Mountain is on the head and the Yanmen Pass is under the feet". In places like Qin County in southeastern Shanxi, a Yin-Yang master would also place talismans, such as peach bows, willow arrows, mulberry branches, cotton, and grains.
