[Today's taboos in the old almanac] According to the lunar calendar, April 12th, 2018 is a suitable day for funerals, including digging a pond, buying property, building construction, starting ground, sailing, and seeking marriage proposals. What are the funeral customs in different places?According to Shanxi custom , after the body is embalmed, the date of the funeral must be set. In various parts of Shanxi, funerals are generally not held with "hot burials after death", otherwise it will be considered disrespectful to the deceased. As for when the funeral will be held, it is often determined based on factors such as preparations, season, whether the closest relatives are present, and whether the tomb is complete. The time can be long or short, the shortest is generally three days, followed by five, seven, nine days... The longest can be more than a hundred days, and it must be an odd number. In the old days, it was important for a fortune teller to choose an auspicious day to determine when the grave would be “empty”, that is, when people could enter the grave.After the funeral time is determined, relatives and friends must be informed, which is called "sending filial piety" in the Wuzhai area. When you go, you must bring a piece of mourning cloth. Depending on the closeness of the relationship, the larger one may be a set of mourning clothes, while the smaller one may be a mourning scarf. In Qi County, Jinzhong and other places, on the day of the funeral, banners with patterns cut out of white linen paper are hung in front of the door; the papers are not connected with glue, but folded and pounded together with iron or stone tools, which is called "smashing the New Year's paper." This is similar to the "age paper" mentioned earlier, but the hanging time is different. When a deceased person reaches the advanced age of 80, the locals will tear off a piece of "Sui Paper" and give it to children to wear, which is said to prolong their life. Tear it up and paste it on the flour jar, and it won’t get bugs. In the old days, some places would put up "taboo signs" outside the gate, with men on the left and women on the right. They would not only state the date of birth and death, and the date of the funeral, but also list taboos. The customs in Tianjin are relatively complicated. The funeral will be held the next morning after the funeral. If there is no consecration ceremony before the funeral, it can be held before the funeral. All the people who are going to attend the funeral each take a small steamed bun and a coin. The eldest son (daughter) of the deceased carries a ghost banner with "Western Guidance" written on it, the daughter-in-law (or son-in-law) holds the urn with both hands, the eldest grandson (daughter) drags the portrait of the deceased with both hands, the second son (daughter) of the deceased holds a "crying stick" and all the younger generations who are going to attend the funeral follow behind and walk out of the door. After leaving the house, relatives and friends set off firecrackers in the mourning hall, and others stay in front of the door and kneel face to face in two vertical positions according to seniority, one for each man and one for women. A brick wrapped in red paper is placed in front of the eldest son, and he holds a clay bowl or an ordinary rice bowl in his hand. When the masters of the coffin room carry the deceased out of the door, the eldest son smashes the clay bowl on the brick and recites "Dad (Mom) leave wealth", then all the younger generations kowtow four times, and the immediate family members follow the coffin into the hearse. Other relatives and friends get on other vehicles and drive to the funeral home together. When passing through tunnels, intersections, and going up and down bridges, the relatives sitting in the hearse have to scatter toll money (white paper money and flower petals). |
