Proverbs are the wisdom accumulated by our ancestors with their own practical experience. For example, the phrase "if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you" is still exported by many people! After experiencing some things, I found that what my ancestors said was very reasonable!
Generally, when we have a funeral, we will stop at home for a few days, wait for relatives and friends to come, and escort the deceased to the cemetery along the way, and the relatives and friends of the deceased will go! So there are many people in general, and they are mighty! The mood is extremely painful!
It suddenly rained before the burial, which made it impossible for the funeral to proceed according to the itinerary. It also expresses that the deceased seems unwilling to leave like this. He is very unwilling to leave, and his wish has not been realized. Usually buried in the mountains, the distance is certain. If it rains and the road is slippery on rainy days, relatives and friends will send her to the cemetery for burial. The road may be very difficult, and unnecessary trouble and danger may occur on the road! Graveyards dug in advance may also accumulate water.
This is very unfavorable to the undertaker. The coffin may not last that long after it is soaked in water! We may think that the deceased will feel uneasy! When future generations encounter difficulties, we will vaguely feel that it will be related to the water in the graves of our ancestors! Although this is a superstitious idea, many rural people are superstitious now. Some people often get sick at home and think it may be related to their ancestral graves!
Everyone thinks that it is against the wishes of the deceased to be buried in the rain, so bad things will happen at home in the future. The same sentence embodies the filial piety of the ancients. Parents should follow their parents' wishes before and after their death!
