Anyone who has been to the countryside knows that most of the houses in the past were mud-green tile houses. Because of the age, most of the houses are dilapidated, and some houses have to be supported by wooden sticks to be stable.
Most of the graves exposed in the fields are scattered. Today's countryside has been transformed, and the previous scene can no longer be found. In addition to the development of the times and the improvement of people's living standards, it is also related to folk customs. Why do you say that?
People built another grave after five generations.
This proverb means that after five generations, a family needs to find another place to be buried, and will not be buried with family members within five generations. This is because the blood relationship of family members is mostly maintained within four generations. After five generations, the younger generation has almost no impression of them. This is also the reason why modern relatives move, mostly between peers or parents.
Five generations, that is, two generations of father and son, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, that is, grandfather, father, myself, son and grandson. These five generations belong to the closest relatives, handed down from ancestors, and have the closest daily contact.
The ancients were obsessed with the geomantic omen of graves. They believe that family graves are related to the prosperity of the family and the fate of future generations. After five generations, the relationship has alienated and it is impossible to protect them. There was a saying among the people that "people are not amiable for five generations", so people set up graves after five generations in order to keep the family going and better protect future generations.
