If an old man dies and is buried when it snows, it is a very auspicious sign that the descendants of this family will have talents and live a better life than endless splendor.
Because winter snow is called "Xue Rui" in rural areas, snow symbolizes purity, whiteness and purity; Graves are made of mud! In the old farmer's cognition, rain and snow are natural things in heaven and earth, and the earth is pregnant with hope. Putting snow on the new grave is God's recognition of the grave owner's virtue and kindness on earth. It means that future generations will prosper under its protection!
In addition, there is an ancient saying that "when snow falls on the grave, there must be nobles". This sentence expresses a respect for the deceased and an expectation for the prosperity of the family. Snow on the grave means that the deceased will get warmth and peace in the cold winter, and their families will get good luck and prosperity. Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, it reflects the people's admiration for their ancestors and their yearning for a better life.
Correctly treat funeral etiquette
Folk funeral has a strong superstitious color, so many incisive proverbs are summarized. These proverbs seem reasonable, but they can't be completely denied, at least they contain the practical experience of our ancestors.
Take the rainy and snowy weather during the funeral. If it has been buried, no matter what the weather is, it won't have much impact. Even if the road is not easy, people who go back will at least be relaxed after completing the task. If it rains and snows all the time before burial, it is best not to go up the mountain easily. Failure to bury may hurt everyone, but it will not be rewarded.
Some people think that beautiful days and times cannot be changed and will be buried by wind and rain. I don't know that burying the coffin in the ground after encountering rain will only make the wood rot faster. Therefore, although the old saying sounds feudal, it can be explained by modern thinking, and we can't help but listen to it and believe it all.
