Want to know more about the dates in the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018? Please pay attention to our Mr. Shui Mo’s special topic on the eighth month of the lunar calendar!Are those who died during the Mid-Autumn Festival okay?People cannot choose their own birth and death, so when someone close to them dies, we should mourn their loss and take care of all the funeral arrangements.What's the etiquette when a loved one dies?1. Sending off the dead <br /> "Parting with the living and the dead" is the most painful thing in life. When the elderly are seriously ill and on their deathbed, they are usually sentimental and miss their children and relatives. At this time, the children at home should serve them day and night, and should not leave their side. They should also send messages to the children outside to urge them to return quickly.2. Dressing <br /> When the deceased is dying, his relatives will shave his head (for men), comb his hair (for women), wash him, and do cosmetic surgery. Before dying, one must put on funeral clothes (commonly known as "old clothes"), firstly because they are not easy to wear after death; secondly, if one puts them on after death, it means that one has passed away naked and will still have no clothes in the underworld. Most funeral clothes are prepared early. 3. Stop the bed <br /> After the patient is dressed in funeral clothes, he should be moved from the bedroom to the main hall, which is the official place for the dying person to bid farewell to the world. Relatives will stay by his side to let him leave peacefully. This is what people often call "dying of old age." 4. Reporting the death <br /> After the body of the deceased is laid to rest, a "yin and yang" master will be invited to estimate the time of the "calamity" according to the time of the deceased's last breath, the specific dates for the funeral, the funeral, the "seventh day", the hundredth day, the first anniversary, the second anniversary, and the third anniversary. These dates will be listed on white paper and posted on the wall, and the funeral ceremonies will be carried out as scheduled. 5. Grave Digging <br /> When someone dies, they usually need to be buried as soon as possible. Therefore, digging the grave is the first important thing in a funeral. The locals have always placed special faith in "feng shui" and "qi", believing that if their ancestors have left their ancestors in a "feng shui treasure land" where "dragons and tigers are hidden", their descendants will be able to get promoted and make a fortune, enjoy both fortune and luck, and have a large and prosperous family. The rich say it is because of "good 'qi' in the tomb", while the poor say it is because "there are no descendants in the tomb", and they attribute the fortune of future generations to the good or bad feng shui of the tombs of their ancestors. Therefore, people are very cautious and serious in choosing the burial site. |
