Wind and water for a few days.
After death, the body needs to be stored at home for a few days before the funeral. Customs vary from place to place, such as Ningbo 1-2 days, Jiaxing 3-4 days, Wenzhou and Taizhou 2-3 days. There used to be a ancestral temple in the countryside, with a large location and good ventilation. Now I basically live in a suite, and I don't have this condition. Moreover, it was not easy to store in the past. There are many complicated commemorative ceremonies, including farewell, chanting and crossing over. Blowing and beating day and night exhausted my family. In fact, this is a bad habit and a backward funeral custom. Storing corpses for a long time is unsanitary, and it wastes energy and financial resources, which is also not conducive to changing customs. Therefore, we still advocate simple funeral, pay attention to filial piety before death, and don't do big things.
