Analysis of matters needing attention regarding grave relocation:1) The best time to relocate a grave is before noon, to avoid the Yang energy at noon from burning the corpse. If there are too many ancestors, you can stop digging up the bones at noon, and cover the grave and bones with black cloth. The corpse will be moved after noon.2) The first three shovels of earth in digging the grave must be done by the ancestor’s son or grandson. If there are no children or grandchildren, a "blessed person" will be needed to take their place. (A blessed woman refers to a woman who has both living parents, a husband, and two children.) 3) The burial arrangement should be distinguished by priority: the east is the upper position and the west is the lower position; the northeast is the upper position and the southwest is the lower position; the north is the upper position and the south is the lower position; the northwest is the upper position and the southeast is the lower position (according to the post-natal Bagua, the yang position is the upper position). If a man has two wives, the husband should be buried at the top, the first wife at the second, and the second wife at the third. 4) The eldest son holds the spirit head banner, breaks the funeral basin, and walks in front of the spirit with male relatives, while the female relatives follow the spirit in a car. The coffin is covered with a "coffin cover". Eight, sixteen, twenty-four or thirty-six people would carry the coffin to the cemetery and bury it in a grave that had been dug in advance by a fortune teller. The grave would be covered with soil, and a spirit banner held by the eldest son would be inserted on the grave. Paper gold and silver vaults would be burned in the cemetery for the deceased to "enjoy" in the underworld. 5) When the remains of the ancestor are about to be unearthed, the ancestor's daughter or granddaughter must hold up a black umbrella or a reed mat to block the sunlight. The sunlight must not be allowed to overheat the remains of the ancestor, lest the ancestor's soul be scattered and unable to reincarnate. 6) When digging up a grave (breaking ground), one must set up an altar, burn incense, offer sacrifices to ancestors, burn money, pray about the reasons and address of the ancestor's relocation, and ask for the ancestor's blessings and protection for future generations. Nine points to note when moving graves 7) Any new grave that has been buried for less than one year cannot be relocated. If the burial is moved within a year, someone in the family may die. 8) After the second burial of the bones is completed, the original grave pit must be filled and leveled with a carrot and nine copper coins. After filling the grave, old coffins, funeral clothes, etc. should be burned completely and should not be taken to the new tomb. 9) After the grave is dug, the remains of the ancestors must be placed neatly, with all joints placed in their original positions. If any knuckles are missing, the soil must be carefully turned over to search for them, in order to avoid physical harm to future generations. The bones of the hands, feet and knees of the remains must be placed according to the normal physiological structure and must not be rotated front to back or left to right. Otherwise, it would be like the ancestors had their hands and feet tied up and were kneeling on their knees, and the descendants would surely have bad luck and no one would be prosperous. |
