Is the rainstorm a good sign on the day of relatives' funeral?

Influenced by traditional ideas and thousands of years of folk burial customs, there are many sayings. Rural people think it is unlucky to have rain at the funeral. The rain at the funeral is commonly called "Rain Spirit". There is an old saying in the countryside called "Rain God is poor", which says that it is unlucky because God also shed tears and future generations will not be rich.

Of course, every place has different views. Some rural areas think that the funeral rain is a symbol of good luck, so there is also a saying that "rain hits the coffin head and replaces the general". From a scientific point of view, these subtle statements are inevitably superstitious and have no scientific basis.

Burying a tomb in the rain is the most important thing in rural areas. Prior to this, funerals in rural areas were basically burial. Rural people choose places with beautiful scenery for burial, or places with geomantic omen for generations. When they are buried, if it rains, they are called "rain tombs". In this case, future generations will get rich. Rural people think that this is a gift from heaven, so there is also a saying among the people that "rain hits graves and generations get rich".

In addition to these statements, when rural people spill the first shovel when they go to the grave, the owner invited by the deceased's family will sprinkle the wheat, rice, silver coins and miscellaneous grains in the "grain bucket" on the filial son's head, so that the filial sons can grab the grain and shout "grab the blessing!" After the dutiful sons held the clay in their hands and threw it into the Jinjing grave, the rest of the helpers began to bury the dead together.

Then go back to the main house and have a water banquet in turn, and the guests can say goodbye to the dutiful sons. After dinner, the deacons are responsible for repairing the grave table of the deceased, and assisting the host family to take out bamboo mats, plastic sheets, wooden pole brackets, etc. from the shed to help return the borrowed neighbor's table stoves before the family can disperse.
