What is a funeral?

The funeral procession is also called "coming out of the mountain". Before the funeral, a fortune teller must be asked to choose an auspicious day and time, which is called "opening the disaster list". Before the funeral, the spirit must be said goodbye to. First, put the food from the last memorial ceremony into a porcelain jar. During the funeral, the eldest daughter-in-law will hold the jar and finally bury it in front of the coffin. The next step is to "sweep the materials", which means lifting the head of the coffin, and the filial son puts some copper coins under the coffin. He then uses a new broom and dustpan to sweep the loose dust on the coffin lid and pour it under the kang mat, which means "bringing wealth to get a job". The procedure for the funeral is as follows: first turn the coffin and move it outside the door, then lift the head of the coffin and prepare the mouth for sacrifice. The ritual is presided over by a ritualist, and the host kneels down. After the ritualist finishes reading the sacrificial text, the monks and Taoists lead the filial sons and daughters to "rotate the coffin". After circling the coffin three times, the coffin is tied up with ropes and the lid is closed. When the coffin is about to set off, the funeral procession must also be ready. Generally, the eldest son leads the way with the banner, the second son holds the spirit tablet, the filial relatives below the second son hold "mourning sticks" wrapped in white paper, and the eldest daughter-in-law holds the "stuffing jar". After preparations are complete, the coffin can be lifted. Along with this, there are two rituals: one is to take apart the pillow used by the deceased during his lifetime and burn the buckwheat husks and other items inside together with the pillowcase; the other ritual is "breaking tiles", which involves breaking into pieces the clay basin used for burning paper in front of the coffin.
