By checking the almanac, we found that the taboos of the day include "burial", so the second day of the seventh lunar month in 2018 is not suitable for funerals; Funeral taboos: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. 5. Cats are not allowed to appear in front of the coffin. Before the funeral, the body is kept at the wake and cats are not allowed to approach. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be as if the deceased suddenly stands up, which means harm to the family. 6. Avoid getting a haircut. If someone dies in the family, family members or men are not allowed to have their hair cut or shave for one month. When an elder passes away, it is usually the younger generation who observe the custom of keeping hair, believing that hair is inherited from parents and that when a loved one passes away, keeping hair is a way to express grief, filial piety and longing. Some areas also believe that getting a haircut is a way to change one's appearance so that the dead cannot recognize them and avoid disasters. There is also another saying that a baby can only have his hair cut 100 days after birth, otherwise the baby may die. 7. No fun is allowed on the anniversary of the death. On the day of a relative's death, it is taboo to do auspicious things, such as drinking and having fun. Needless to say, doing joyful things on the day of the death of a person is considered disrespectful. On the "taboo day" which is also called "taboo food day", the ancients said: "The Book of Rites - Tan Gong Shang" says: "A gentleman has lifelong worries but no one-day troubles, so he should not be happy on the taboo day." This is what everyone follows. |
