Throwing paper money refers to scattering paper money made of white paper and shaped like copper coins. It is usually done by a special person in front of the filial son. After the coffin is lifted, paper money is scattered when there are roadside sacrifices, when passing crossroads, riversides, bridges, temples, city gates, and when the body is buried. Tea tables and roadside memorial tents are mostly set up by the bereaved family’s relatives and friends to express their condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family. The tea table is for filial sons and their relatives and friends to drink water, and the filial sons should run down and kowtow to express their gratitude. Roadside sacrifice refers to setting up an offering table or sacrificial shed on the road that the funeral procession passes by to commemorate the deceased. When there is a roadside sacrifice, the funeral procession usually stops the coffin to hold the sacrifice and express gratitude. After the sacrifice, the coffin is lifted and the procession continues on its way. |
