What kind of funeral etiquette is the road sacrifice shed?

On the way to the funeral, in order to let the souls of the deceased pass smoothly and send away special things such as ghosts, besides scattering some paper money, it is also necessary to burn paper money. Moreover, where paper money needs to be scattered, paper money will be burned, and the destination is to worship ghosts and gods.

Therefore, regardless of the size of the funeral, it is essential to carry a burning wastebasket. In addition, arrange a person to carry white cloth and cotton pad.

Before lifting the pole, the person carrying the burning paper basket will collect the remaining burning paper, paper money, gold and silver foil, dead money, official incense, dead incense, spiritual flowers, extra filial hats (especially the three Guan Liang) and the remaining white flowers in the funeral shed and put them in the big net blue.

When lifting the pole, put the spirit flower, the incense of the dead and the burning paper in front of the position of filial piety, and put the auspicious basin in front of the white mat where our grandfather knelt.

The paper can be lit before the bar is completely tied. When the bar armor carries the bar on the shoulder, the paper burns brightly, and the paper money thrown by the fire can be used for a long time.

After the wrangling, the rest of the burnt paper is put in a basket. Put a box of matches in the basket, and insert a wick incense outside the basket.

At every intersection, well platform, ancestral temple, temple and city gate, a large piece of burning paper is lit and thrown underground, which means to send away foreign money to buy a road. Some poor families can't afford paper money, and sometimes they ask people with baskets to do two jobs.

Road sacrifices are still popular at funerals in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Lu funeral set up a shed at the intersection of the main street where the funeral passed, and held a public sacrifice when the funeral came. There are also smaller passers-by who put a confession on the roadside.
