What do you say when the old man died at the age of 88?

In ancient times, weddings and funerals generally met three conditions:

First, overall happiness: before his death, his family was prosperous and formed a big family. I am the parent of a big family, and I am even honored as an ancestor.

2. Lifetime: The deceased has reached the age of 80 or 90, or even exceeded the centenary mark, and the minimum must be over Gu Xi (70 years old). The older you get, the more you meet the conditions of "mourning". Therefore, it is called "old weddings, funerals and happy events".

Third, the successful end: also known as "successful end", refers to the successful end of a life. Ancient folks believed that the deceased had accumulated virtue and done good deeds before his death, but he was not tortured by illness at the end of his life, or even "died of illness" and naturally died of old age. This is regarded as the fundamental condition of "mourning".

If only the first and second conditions mentioned above are met, but the death is not normal, such as accidental natural disasters and man-made disasters, it cannot be counted as "marriage, funeral and marriage". The landlord's experience may only be entangled because of his death due to illness, but it is understandable that the elderly in their eighties are sick, not to mention that death is also a relief for the elderly. Three conditions took the second place, and it was a funeral. Don't stick to tradition and be bound by ancient customs.
