Supernatural geomantic omen: the theory of seven days after death

When I was eight or nine years old, my next-door neighbor died. It was afternoon, about three o'clock. The host family first burned the ashes with firewood, and scattered a mass of ashes where the deceased fell and under the chimney. Then lock the door and put up a ladder at the eaves. After doing these things, I played with my host family and some people from the nearby dam, and the whole house was clear at a glance. During this time, no one came in or out of the house. After the death of the deceased, we went into the house to look (note: at the same time) and saw the footprints of a child about 1 year old on the ash under the chimney. There are some lines on the ashes of the place where the deceased died. The appearance of these lines is the same as the shape (bending degree) of the road from the place where the deceased was buried to the deceased's home.

Calculation method of reincarnation date Generally speaking, the reincarnation date of each deceased is different, and some are the eighth day after death. On the night when relatives are resurrected, ordinary people usually scatter some ashes or powder in the places where the deceased must pass and on the stage where sacrifices are placed, and then close the door to warn strangers of intrusion.

It was not until dawn the next day that the time for resurrection passed, and then all the people in the family were gathered together, unlocked and watched to see if there were handprints or footprints left on the ashes or powder, before they knew whether the dead soul had returned. How to calculate the date of soul return! (Continued) There is a saying in China that the deceased will go home soon after his death, which is called "returning to the soul". In addition to resurrection, that person will have a certain height. Regarding resurrection, many people think that in the first seven days [the seventh day after the death of the living, called the first seven days],

The specific operation of "resurrection" day is also called "resurrection night", which refers to the last night when the soul stays on earth a few days after the death of the undead. On this night, the dead return to their favorite places before they died. Of course, most of the dead will go back to their homes, but because when they return to evil spirits, that is, when the dead go home, there can be no strangers. Why can't there be strangers? In fact, it is said in Metaphysics that if there are strangers, ghosts will not go in when they hear the sound, and it is because people will see ghosts when the flame is low.

Calculation time: find someone who understands this within a few days after the death of the undead. Items to be prepared: incense wax paper, pork (cut into chopping boards), a bamboo, a table, eight benches, a sieve and kitchen ashes, firecrackers (firecrackers can not be used until the "evil return" is over), a chopstick and an egg.

Method: Put the bamboo near the window and stick money paper on it. Pay attention to the paper one by one until it is full. If it is a tile-roofed house, it is necessary to open a tile on the roof of the tile-roofed house and lean the pillar against the edge of the opened hole, because according to metaphysics, ghosts come in from the roof or around. Why not go through the gate? Because everyone has a goalkeeper! Then, prepare a table of dining tables and pay attention to putting a piece of money paper on each of the eight benches.

From the date of the death of the deceased, the funeral home will hold a paper burning memorial every seven days, * * * seven times, commonly known as "burning seven times". Generally speaking, "March 7" and "May 7" are more important, and relatives and friends should also send some paper and candles. There is also a ceremony of "exorcising evil spirits" (also known as "returning disasters"). According to the old custom, the soul still exists after death. 7749 days ago, the ghost of the deceased wanted to go home once, and the time was calculated by the Taoist priest. At that time, the funeral home will arrange incense and wine, and lay a layer of charcoal ash or plant ash on the floor to test the footprints of the deceased.

With a bamboo pole and a sticker on each foot, stand on the doorstep or insert it under the eaves of dead people. It is said that ghosts will enter the house when they see this. Put a boiled egg in the clay pot in the corner of the house to bribe the disaster god (commonly known as chicken feet) and let the ghost of the deceased stay at home for a while. At this time, the whole family is in the distance. After the specified time, throw a string of firecrackers into the house first, and then you can enter the house after the explosion. On centennial and anniversary days, paper will be burned to pay homage. Half a year or a year after death, do another Dojo for the deceased.
