What should you pay attention to during a funeral?

1. You cannot go to pay your respects empty-handed. People in the countryside believe in "calling for happy events and arriving for funerals." When there is a funeral in the village, neighbors should take the initiative to help. People cannot go to pay their respects empty-handed. At the very least, they should carry a paper cushion. Depending on the closeness of the relationship, some people may also give money or bring a bottle of wine. 2. If you buy things for the deceased, you must pay for them yourself. People in rural areas are very strict about this, especially if they are paper gifts for the deceased. If you leave your name on them and say that they are sent by you, then no matter how much the money is, it must be paid for by you yourself. Otherwise, you are deceiving the gods and ghosts, and it is generally believed in rural areas that it will be bad for you and cause trouble. Sometimes the second generation of farmers in the city go back to their hometown to attend a funeral. If they can’t spare the time to go home, they will ask someone to bring a paper cushion back. Don’t forget to give the person money. 3. A son should avoid breaking the funeral basin for the second time when he or she breaks it. The funeral basin is also called the old basin, which is a clay basin used to burn paper money in front of the coffin after a person dies. When the coffin is raised, the eldest son or grandson breaks it into pieces. If a father dies, he or she breaks it with the left hand, and if a mother dies, he or she breaks it with the right hand. The more broken the basin is, the better, as a symbol of peace for all years to come. But if it doesn't break at once, don't try to break it a second time, or the person who is arguing with you will step on it and break it. 4. During the funeral, the son-in-law carries a banner to lead the way and the son breaks the pot. The son-in-law carries a banner, which generally means that during the funeral, the eldest son-in-law of the deceased must be at the front of the team, carrying a huge banner made of fresh willow branches. This banner, also called the money tree, is to be inserted next to the grave door after burial, but it must be shaken every time during the seven-day cremation ceremony to prevent the tree from taking root and growing. 5. The mourning hat is torn apart in front of the grave . When the second generation of farmers return home to attend the funeral, the elders of the family will definitely instruct them that the mourning hat and mourning shirt they wear to the funeral should be torn into cloth before returning after the burial. 6. You are not allowed to look back on the way back after the burial . You can cry during the burial, but you are not allowed to shed tears or look back on the way back. You have to act more resolute. It is said that if you look back while crying, the deceased will feel sorry for you and will follow you back home. 7. Pay money when there is a funeral. In rural areas, if you need to borrow something from a neighbor, no matter how much, you must give the person money, so as not to owe the deceased a favor, to avoid being "nagging" in the future. This is the most taboo for rural people. Even if you give someone 50 cents, they have to give it to them, and they will definitely take it, so as not to cause them trouble. 8. No tombstones are erected on new graves. In movies and TV dramas, tombstones are erected on new graves. This was very strange in ancient rural areas. In fact, there are some rules for erecting a tombstone: ① If one of the parents is still alive, a tombstone cannot be erected; ② No tombstones are erected on new graves; ③ A tombstone is erected for three generations, that is, if no tombstone has been erected for the great-grandfather or grandfather, a tombstone cannot be erected for the father's generation. 9. There are no graves for single deceased parents. In rural fields, those low and slightly raised graves are generally for single deceased parents whose spouses are still alive. According to rural folk customs, a high grave mound invites people to come. In order to ensure that the elderly who are still alive can live a healthy and long life, graves are generally not built for single deceased persons. After both parents die, they are buried together and then the grave is built and properly constructed.
