Before feng shui burial, the coffin landed.

The ancients believed that people were dead and alive. If the coffin falls to the ground during transportation, it means that the place where it should fall is where the deceased belongs. So it should be transported directly to the cemetery before the coffin can be put down. If you fall in the middle, it is considered unlucky from the perspective of customs and folk beliefs.

The natural law of birth, aging, illness and death, everyone comes to the world, and eventually will embark on the unknown eternal silence. In ancient times, people believed in the afterlife and believed that people had souls, so they also had various wishes for their relatives and the afterlife. ? There is always a thousand-year-old iron threshold, and eventually you need an earthen steamed bread? The traditional funeral is to put the dead in a coffin, hold a funeral, and then bury them underground. In thousands of years of funeral history, there are various taboos and superstitions among the people. For example, at the funeral, the coffin must not fall to the ground, that is, the coffin must not touch the ground.

Why is this? First, people think that if the coffin falls to the ground for no reason during the funeral, which affects the smooth progress of the funeral, it represents some unlucky signs; Because many people believe that people have souls, if the coffin falls down, it means that the soul of the deceased has no rest or something that can't be put down, which is relatively unpleasant for living relatives.

On the other hand, people think that the place where the coffin landed is the place where the deceased will take root and rest forever. But if the coffin is left at home or on the road, it can't be buried there, can it? This is very unrealistic and unreasonable. Therefore, people are very afraid to drop the coffin at the funeral. If the coffin bearer is tired and needs a rest, he must lift the coffin or put it on a stool, so as not to touch the ground.

Of course, from a scientific point of view, many folk funeral customs are superstitious and unreasonable. However, existence is reasonable. These customs and habits have been gradually formed for thousands of years, and there are reasons for their formation. So no matter what the reason, as long as the coffin falls to the ground, it is generally believed that something bad will happen to the relatives of the deceased, so it is natural to try to avoid such taboo things.
