Question 1: What is the order of the number of people attending a funeral? The customs and habits of different ethnic groups and regions vary greatly. As the saying goes, "different customs are different in ten miles." The old funeral tradition of the Han people emphasizes heavy burials and rich burials, and is mixed with many superstitions. customs. Burial in coffins has been popular among the Han people since ancient times. The funeral is grand and carried out in three stages: exhumation, funeral and burial. Burial means dressing the corpse and placing it in the coffin. When a person dies, the soul of the deceased must be summoned and bathed before being buried. There are two steps of burial: small coffin and large coffin. A small coffin is used to wrap the corpse in a quilt, usually cloth, rich people use silk, and some royal families use jade clothes. The body is put into the coffin. The coffin is called "Shou coffin". The male coffin is engraved with the word "Shou", the female coffin is engraved with the word "福", and some are engraved with the combination of the three characters "Fu, Lu and Shou". Rice is also placed in the mouth of the deceased during the burial. Wealthy families include bis, beads, etc., royal families include jade, and in modern times, rice is placed in the mouth of the deceased. They are all called "rice containing". Some items are often buried along with the burial. Most people have clothes, quilts and daily necessities. Rich families and royal families have many and valuable burial items. Funeral means placing the coffin in the funeral palace after burial. The length of the funeral period varies, ranging from 3 days to 30 days, mainly determined by the mourner. In ancient times, the coffin was usually kept in the coffin for 3 months, and sometimes it took up to 7 months. According to the traditional custom of the Han people, when a parent dies, the children must go to the funeral, otherwise it is considered unfilial. Relatives and friends will mourn and pay homage to the deceased in the future, which is called "mourning" or "condolences." All mourners must wear mourning clothes. In ancient times, the mourning clothes of the Han people were divided into five types: zhansheng, qixian, dagong, xiaogong and weaving linen, which were called "five clothes". Wear linen and wear filial piety." In modern times, white cloth is often used as mourning clothes. In modern cities, it is common to wear white flowers on the chest and black gauze on the arms. Burial means burying the remains of the deceased, that is, placing the coffin into the ground. According to old customs, before burial, one often has to look at Feng Shui and choose a cemetery, which is called "choosing an auspicious place." Funeral is also called funeral. During funerals, the ancient Han people usually held the mourning ribbon in front of the "filial son", and those who carried the coffin sang elegy. Elegies evolved into sad music in recent times and modern times. Relatives and friends wrote elegy words or elegiac couplets at the funeral. In modern times, it evolved into sending wreaths with elegiac couplets written on them. In ancient times, there was the custom of burying people (mainly close relatives, close ministers and close attendants, which still existed in the Qing Dynasty). Later, they were gradually replaced by pottery figurines, and in modern times, human figures tied with paper were buried with them. After the funeral, there are memorial ceremonies for seven days, seven days off, one hundred days, and anniversaries, etc., and the tablets are returned to the ancestral hall. This has changed from a ritual for people during a funeral to a ritual for "ghosts" and "ancestral spirits" . In addition, the Han people also have the custom of "return burial", which is to bury the remains of those who died in a foreign country back to their place of origin. During the funeral, relatives of the deceased should wear mourning clothes and keep vigil in the mourning hall. In the ancient Chinese etiquette system, filial piety clothes were divided into five grades according to the closeness of the blood relationship with the deceased. In modern Chinese, there is also the word "five clothes" to indicate the distance of the blood relationship. The mourning robe is made of white cloth, which is very different from the Western custom of wearing white robes as a formal dress. During the Qing Dynasty, an Englishman came to China for the first time and found it very strange that everyone in the funeral procession was wearing white clothes, but their expressions were painful and sad. In ancient times, people sang elegy during funerals. Tao Yuanming, the great poet of the Jin Dynasty, wrote three "elegy poems" for himself during his lifetime. The elegiac couplets and elegies of later generations evolved from the elegies of ancient times. The scale of the funeral ceremony is closely related to the status and identity of the deceased. In feudal society, there were strict regulations on funeral rituals for people with different statuses. Princes, nobles and wealthy families often use grand funeral ceremonies to show off their power. In "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is written that Qin Keqing died in the Ningguo Mansion. The coffin used was worth thousands of taels of silver. Two to three hundred monks and Taoists chanted sutras. The funeral procession was "mighty and mighty, as heavy as a mountain of silver." As the poor people cannot even meet the basic needs of food and clothing, naturally they cannot talk about "heavy burials and generous burials". Sometimes the body can only be wrapped in a mat and buried hastily. After the death of an elder, the descendants must stay at home for twenty-seven months, during which social interactions and entertainment are suspended. Officials must also leave their jobs and return home to observe mourning to express their condolences for their elders, which is called "keeping the system." Examples of funeral procedures Suppose someone is 81 years old Years old, male, military background, full of descendants. Change clothes, wear military uniform and longevity shoes. The body is covered with yellow silk and the face is covered with a white silk scarf. All buttons on the clothes should be cut off, and the clothes should be tied up with cloth belts, but no "dead knots" should be made. Preliminary plastic surgery: the facial features are reset, and a gold ingot or a coin is placed in the mouth. The left hand holds a gold ingot (both imitations), and the right hand holds a dog beating stick (convenient for chopsticks). The corpse was tied up with red thread, mainly the hands and feet. If there are cats or dogs in the house, they should be well taken care of and should not get close to the corpse. (To prevent the soul of the deceased from being possessed by the animal) Transport it to the funeral home. Set up a simple mourning hall at home. Portrait of the deceased: An enlarged photo has been prepared in advance and a special photo frame has been purchased.
Put a black ribbon. Offerings on the table...>>
Question 2: What are the requirements for burying ashes? 1. Is there any ceremony required when taking out the urn from the funeral home?
After the ashes are taken out from the funeral home, they cannot see the light until they are buried and covered with a stone slab on the tomb. A large piece of cloth must be used above the urn to block the sun, and at least two people need to hold the cloth. . It would be best to use a tent.
2. Are the grain jars placed in the tomb? What texture is not easily weathered or degraded?
I generally don’t use this at home. Things that are easily corroded are best placed outside the tomb. If you are afraid of stealing, it is best to use glue to fix them firmly. The management office in Dongshan sells those square plastic sealed storage boxes, which are used to store urns. If one of the urns is soaked in water, it may be infested by insects. But I think it’s best not to put the grain cans you mentioned in there.
3. How to place the Seven Spoon Star? Is it on top of the "gold paving" and underneath the plastic box?
I’m not sure about this. Ask others.
4. There is no need for a large number of people to be buried, right? I think 5 or 6 people are enough?
When it comes to burials, it is mainly the juniors of the deceased who go there. The spouses generally avoid being too sad and sad. If there are only a few juniors and their spouses, you can ask friends who have a good relationship with the juniors to help. Generally speaking, as long as there are enough people and people are busy, it is enough. You need to do some calculations. The eldest son needs to hold the urn, and at least two people need to hold tents to block the sun. About five people are more suitable. It is best to have a backbone person among them. Conduct methodically.
5. What kind of texture should I buy for the incense burner? Because they need to be placed outside the tomb
Usually they buy porcelain, which is cheap and practical. There are many people in the cemetery who recycle those things and sell them back. . . Therefore, it is best to use porcelain and use white cement to firmly fix it on the cement ground in front of the tomb, so as not to damage the surface of the tomb. In this case, even if the incense burner is destroyed, the loss will not be big. If you use a metal incense burner, which is more expensive, it will be easier for those people to steal it.
6. My father died of illness, so it is not considered a funeral. What should I pay attention to in the procedure?
Just don’t make it too grand, don’t set off firecrackers or anything like that, just keep a low profile. . .
7. Ask elders or professionals to list the specific burial procedures.
I am neither an elder nor a professional. Although I am not very old, because there are not many relatives in my family, I personally participated in the events of my grandfather, grandmother, grandpa, and mother from the death to the funeral. The whole process of burial.
However, since my family may not be very particular about these things and the process is relatively simple, I would like to trouble you to ask someone with more experience for more details.
Question 3: What are the taboos and particularities when attending a funeral and after returning? These are all superstitious practices. If you believe it, pat your clothes in front of the door, or shake your shoulders and pat your trouser legs. Wait, if you go out at night and come back within seven days, you must light a cigarette and extinguish it when you get home! Nothing else! Finally, I advise my friends to believe in science and materialism! Good luck!
Question 4: What are the taboos during burial? There are rules.
According to the old rules, the time of burial must also be particular, and the coffin must fall to the earth after the sun sets. When the earth falls, the Eight Immortals pull the brown rope and slowly lower it. After everything is stable, the relatives must grab the earth and throw it on the coffin. This is called adding earth. After the coffin is lowered, it must first be covered with a thin layer of soil, then the soil swept out of the tomb is sprinkled on top, and then a bowl, called a rice bowl, must be placed. This is done so that when moving the grave in the future, the movements will be gentler, so as not to disturb the souls of the dead and bring misfortune.
Before burial, the dead son will store grains made of whole grains in the tomb. The mouth of the store is covered with a small pancake. There is also a ceramic jar placed in the tomb, and a soybean oil lamp called an everlasting lamp placed on top of the jar. In some places, a bronze mirror is embedded in the tomb to symbolize the sun. In ancient times, wealthy people would stay away from tombs, shoot three arrows, and then retreat immediately. The reason for not daring to get close to the coffin is because I am worried that I will not be able to suppress the ghosts and will suffer disaster.

Before the acupoints are opened, sacrifices must be made to open the mountain. The filial son must burn incense and light candles to perform the opening ceremony. In some places, it is necessary to invite earthly immortals and draw Tai Sui. When opening the mountain, avoid the direction of Tai Sui. Otherwise, if Tai Sui's head is disturbed, the bereaved family will suffer disaster. When digging the mountain, wooden stakes should be driven before and after the tomb, and then the filial son should dig three times with a hoe within the area of ??the pile. Then the Eight Immortals came over to make acupuncture points, and then burned the portrait of Tai Sui. In this kind of tomb, the coffin is pushed in. At the bottom of the tomb, there are two pieces of bamboo or small smooth and moist shank trees that have been peeled off. When placing it, put the upper part of the coffin on top, then use a crowbar to push it in. After pushing it in, pull off the bottom, and finally shovel some turf to seal the hole tightly.
There are many interesting customs after the coffin is parked on the mountain. In some places, a filial daughter-in-law has to bow before the soul, then hold a handful of loess wrapped in her arms, run home and scatter the loess under the pig, chicken coop and under the bed. It is said that in this way she can be blessed by the soul of the deceased. If you have many wives, you have to strive for the first one to be lucky. Some people even take off their shoes and take a shortcut home by water. After scattering the loess, the daughter-in-law has to rush to the kitchen to eat a few bites of food. This is called bringing in treasure, and it is for good luck.
