Burial process
Burying is a series of processes to move the coffin or urn from the docking point to the cemetery and bury the coffin according to the time. The time should not be earlier than sunrise or later than sunset, and then cover the tomb board or soil as the tomb head. The ceremony of moving the coffin is called a funeral. Before putting the urn in the cemetery, put the favorite small items of the deceased in it. If the deceased had a photo before his death, put it in the urn. If one of the husband and wife dies first, put other small items he used before his death in the urn. Men's urns should be decorated with red bamboo stone, and women's urns should be decorated with purple ice silver.
If it is burial, the order is nailing, cutting, spinning, enlightenment and resignation. The ceremony of "nailing" needs to be carried out by the descendants themselves, and the eldest son bites the nails of the descendants. At this time, or Taoist priests nailed the four ends of the coffin and said auspicious words to symbolize Ding's meaning. Nowadays, this ritual festival is omitted or held in advance. Then "cutting the coffin" means cutting a small piece of wood from the coffin, putting it in a censer with the nails of future generations, taking off clothes and burning it, so that future generations will be prosperous. Then "spin the coffin", and later generations spin the coffin to show their reluctance. After that, the coffin carrier twisted the coffin and moved it to the hearse. At this time, children and grandchildren followed. Among the funeral procession after the apocalypse, we must stop to say goodbye. Family members bid farewell to other relatives and friends, and the funeral cars of other relatives and friends will be sent to the cemetery.
The precedent of coffin burial must be mourned, saying that the face of the deceased will never be seen again, and then a burial ceremony will be held. First, local officials and geographers "bolt" the tail of the coffin, that is, in order to quickly decompose the body, they will knock off the cork; After that, Tugong took the rope and moved down the coffin. In this process, the geographer adjusted his position with a compass. When the rope is untied, put the inscription on the coffin. Later, the filial piety man filled the soil with linen clothes and shouted "ABBA, get up", indicating that he buried his dead relatives and called for his soul. After completion, the earthwork will cover the soil, erect tombstones and carry the soil; Since then, the coffin has been blessed by the land god, and it will be sacrificed to the afterlife. In the eulogy, it is indicated that the house where the coffin lives has been purchased clearly and requested to be taken care of.
Burial taboo
Most of the initial funeral ceremonies were based on burial. Because of the limited burial places, cremation has gradually become a trend. The cremation process is basically carried out according to the burial ceremony. If you choose the right cremation time, you should register at the crematorium in advance. Before cremation, filial families will worship. After cremation, the family will personally watch the crematorium staff pick the bones into the urn, so "cremation" is equivalent to burial. Filial son holding urn "into the tower", also need to choose the time to worship in front of the ancient pagoda; Because the tower body is mostly gossip-shaped, choose the appropriate orientation and move the urn into the tower at the appointed time. After the ceremony, the ceremony is over.
