What are the taboos to pay attention to during 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. What is the origin of Spring Festival?Spring Festival is one of the oldest traditional folk festivals of the Han nationality. In the Shang and Western Zhou dynasties, it was a carnival festival for trysts between men and women, and later it was mainly used to worship the land god. The time of Spring Festival is generally the fifth Wu day after the beginning of spring, which is approximately around the vernal equinox, but among the Han Chinese people there are also sayings that it is held on the second, eighth, twelfth, or fifteenth day of the second month.There are relevant records of Spring Festival in oracle bone inscriptions, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it has always been a very important traditional festival in China. However, at present, only some areas in mainland China and Taiwan have the custom of worshipping the God of Land on February 2, and they call this day the Birthday of the Land or the Birthday of Fortune, etc., but it is not exactly the same as the traditional Spring Festival. In some parts of northern mainland China, some Han folk customs during the Dragon Raising Festival on February 2 are also inherited from the Spring Festival. Regarding the rise and fall of the Spring Festival, some scholars attributed it to "originating in three dynasties, first flourishing in the Qin and Han Dynasties, continuing in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, flourishing in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and declining in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties."
