Rules for joint burial of old people after their death. We all know that Feng Shui has many stresses. Although the death of the elderly is a common occurrence, there are many stresses on burying the elderly. I collected and sorted out the relevant information about the burial rules of the elderly after their death. Let's have a look.
Burial rules after the death of the elderly 1
When the deceased dies and loses his home, he will look for the family elders and several people will go to the family cemetery together. Determine the burial place of the deceased according to the generation, age and male members of the family. If the deceased did not die suddenly, this work should have been completed when the deceased was critically ill, and the excavation of the grave was carried out after the death of the deceased. In the northern countryside, digging a grave is called digging a pit.
Most people who cheat are mistresses of the same family. There are also neighbors to help. Before digging a hole, the dutiful son should pay homage to the ancestral grave, burn some paper money, and then pay homage to the grave. The memorial ceremony is very simple. Just light a wick and kowtow a few times. The first three shovels should be dug by the dutiful son himself to show filial piety. The graves are all vertical. Similar to a coffin, it is also big-small. Both length and width are two or two feet larger than the coffin. Leave room for lowering the pivot. The depth of the tomb depends on the terrain, high slopes should be dug deep, and low-lying areas should be shallow. The depth is usually seven or eight feet, so there is four or five feet of soil on the pivot.
Many places have the custom of warming acupoints. After the grave is dug, burn a fire in the cave, commonly known as warm nest. People believe that the dead buried in warm caves can live in a warm and comfortable underworld. Some people pour some plant ash into their graves, which means that fireworks keep on and life is happy.
The funeral procession came to the cemetery, and the porter adjusted his direction and carried the bar bed to the grave. Aim the pivot at the grave, with the front facing north and the back facing south. The victim rushed northwest and southeast in the coffin. Sitting up facing the southeast symbolizes reincarnation and will once again set foot on the Yang world. The porter used two thick hemp ropes, one through the front bottom of the coffin. One rope passes through the back bottom, and the four rope ends are respectively wound on the two vertical rods of the rod bed, similar to pulleys.
The end of each rope is carried on the shoulder by a strong pole with two or three people to help. Immediately, the crossbar supporting the pivot was pulled out to form a suspension. After a little sliding, the coffin was placed at the bottom of the hole, and then the rope was pulled out. The coffin of the rich family is big and heavy, and for safety reasons, hemp rope is pierced in the middle of the pivot. According to the trade, the last two hemp ropes are called "buckle flowers", the second two are called "outer flowers" and the fourth one is called "eight flowers". If you slide down, this fulcrum is called "shaking flowers"
When the porter lets the coffin slide down, the relatives of the deceased will gather around the grave and perform the last cry in the funeral. At the same time, paper vehicles, paper horses, paper men and other paper funerary objects were burned. The door blower will also blow the last funeral at this time.
Before placing the coffin at the bottom of the tomb, it is necessary to correct the orientation so that the coffin can be placed in the tomb without bias or inclination as required. The grave is deep and the coffin is heavy, and sometimes it is difficult to put it in the right position. The common method is to adjust the position of Linghe River by shaking hemp rope. If this doesn't work, you must use a lever to enter the bottom of the tomb and use the earth help in the tomb pit to straighten the coffin. Generally, you don't need to move directly with your hands and feet. On the one hand, your face is deep in the grave, and your hands and feet are not easy to reach. On the other hand, I am afraid that I will pedal too hard and let people slide down the grave. A major accident will happen, and the parties will think it is unlucky.
Grave filling cannot be started at will. First, the eldest son of the deceased should grab a handful of soil and put it on the coffin, while other children and relatives should grab the tomb one after another. After the ceremony of "adding soil", people filled the grave with shovels. In some places, when the soil is not filled to the fulcrum, a small clay pot is put inside, and some food is put in the pot. The deceased put it on the left and the deceased put it on the right.
It is said that when the coffin is buried together in the future, the pot is controlled, which indicates that the coffin will be dug up. When the grave is finished, the dutiful son inserts his own banner in front of the grave. There are also such regulations in rural areas in the north. After the funeral, the relatives and family members of the deceased who attended the funeral should not go back to their homes, but go directly to their homes.
Matters needing attention in burial of the old man after his death
According to the old rules, the burial time should also be paid attention to, and the coffin must be buried at sunset. When the Eight Immortals put down the soil, they slowly put it down by pulling the brown rope. When it is safe, relatives must grab the dirt and throw it on the coffin. This is called adding soil. After the coffin goes down, you should cover it with a thin layer of soil, then sprinkle the soil swept out of the grave on it, and then put a bowl called a rice bowl. This is to move the tomb lighter in the future, so as not to disturb the dead and bring misfortune.
Before burial, the dead son will store the grains made of miscellaneous grains in the grave. There is a small pancake on the top of the storage. Put a ceramic pot in front of the grave, and put a soybean oil lamp on the pot, which is called the ever-burning lamp. In some places, a bronze mirror is embedded in the grave to symbolize the sun. In ancient times, rich people had to stay away from graves, shoot three arrows, and then retreat immediately. I dare not go near the coffin, because I am afraid that if I can't suppress the evil spirits, I will suffer. When the coffin is put into the grave, it must be shot, saying that it is for the dead to go to the underworld.
After burial, people must wash their hands, and some even wash their hands with wine. This means that no one will die in the future, which is used to drive away bad luck. Then you have to thank the trumpeter and the guests who held your funeral. After that, a ceremony will be held to worship the spirits of the deceased. In some places, as long as they are relatives, they have to eat together. This is called robbing the inheritance. The custom of drinking longevity soup and eating longevity beans in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. That is to say, after the death of people over 70 years old, a large barrel of meat and bone soup, that is, longevity soup, and a large pot of cooked soybeans in Huang Cancan, that is, longevity beans, should be prepared on the mourning day. Send the mourners back to drink a small bowl of longevity soup and eat some longevity beans at will, which means adding happiness and prolonging life. In some places, long-lived fragrant glutinous beans are distributed to children in the neighborhood. It is said that eating longevity beans will lead to longevity in the future.
After the initial funeral, funeral, seven-week ceremony, funeral ceremony and other ceremonies, the last link is burial, which is very complicated. The person who carries the coffin is called the Eight Immortals, and the cave where the coffin is dug is called the mountain opening. Before the mountain opening, there is a mountain opening ceremony, and the dutiful son wants to burn incense and light candles. In some places, fairies should be invited and Tai Sui should be painted. When you start a mountain, you must avoid the direction of Tai Sui, otherwise it will be a disaster for Tai Sui to break ground and ruin his family. When cutting a mountain, put a stake in front of and behind the grave, and then let the dutiful son dig with a hoe three times within the range of putting the stake. Then the Eight Immortals made a cave, and then burned the traditional portrait when it was finished. This kind of tomb is to push the coffin in. At the bottom of the tomb, two bamboo trees or small unlined upper garment trees with smooth skin are laid. Put the top of the coffin on it first, then push it in with a crowbar, then remove the bottom after pushing it in, and finally shovel some turf to seal the hole.
There are many interesting customs after the coffin stops on the mountain. In some places, the filial daughter-in-law should bow before the spirit, then hold the loess in her arms and run home to scatter it under the pigsty and bed. It is said that this will be blessed by the dead. If there are many daughters-in-law, we must strive for the first good luck, and some even take off their shoes and take a shortcut to go home by boat. After paving the loess, the daughter-in-law has to rush to the kitchen to eat a few dishes. This is called Jinbao, which means good luck.
Six taboos of burying the elderly after death.

(1) Satin fabrics are prohibited for the clothes of the deceased.
Old people are used to calling the clothes they wear after death "shroud". After the age of 60, some old people began to prepare shroud.
The quantity and texture of the shroud are very particular. The number of pieces is generally odd, such as five, seven and nine, but not even; Silk is often used in materials, because "silk" and "thickness" are homophonic, indicating that there are many future generations, but satin is taboo, because "satin" and "broken" are homophonic.

Willows are forbidden in coffins. According to legend, it is because the willow tree does not bear fruit and is worried that it will never be seen again.

Heavy mourning means heavy, repeated and doubled, which means more than one funeral. Refers to the situation that someone in his family or relatives died one after another within nearly 100 days or as far as one year after his death.
Custom pays attention to, the day of funeral must avoid the day of heavy mourning, so as to avoid the death of relatives at home again.

Especially weddings, business opening, celebrating the birth of babies and other happy events, it is best not to attend.
Children are forbidden to wear red and green clothes during mourning.
During the mourning period, ancient children paid attention to wearing filial piety and white mourning clothes within 100 days; After a hundred days, wear dark clothes such as black and blue to show filial piety, and avoid wearing red and green heavy makeup.
In modern society, although many friends wear the word "filial piety" instead of mourning for such a long time because of their work and life; However, you still can't wear red with green.
5. Children are forbidden to participate in recreational activities during mourning.
In ancient times, when parents died, children generally had to observe filial piety for three years. During these three years, marriage and auspicious celebrations are not allowed.
In ancient times, people who paid attention to "ruling the world with filial piety" and served as officials, no matter how old they were, had to take time off to go back to their ancestral homes to observe filial piety after their parents died, which was called "Ding You". If officials don't go back to their hometowns to observe filial piety, they may be impeached by the censor, punished, or even never hired.
If an official gets married, has children, breaks up, has fun, etc. During his anxiety, he will be regarded as unfilial and impeached.
In modern society, many people shorten the time of filial piety to one year or even less, but they are afraid that their children will have fun.

Sticking red couplets during the Spring Festival is a custom in most parts of China.
However, if a family member dies, it is forbidden to post red couplets in front of the door during the first Spring Festival.
