The direction of the coffin when buried.

First, it depends on feng shui, which is the same as people pay attention to building houses by the dead. When buried, coffins are mostly placed facing south, or the mountains face the water, depending on the geographical environment.

Second, it depends on the direction of worship. When the coffin is buried, the feet are placed in front of the grave and the head is placed at the end of the grave. This is for the convenience of sacrifice, and the dead can face the living.

Only by combining the two can the dead rest in peace.

The old tradition of Han funeral is to pay attention to heavy burial, which is mixed with many superstitious customs. Coffin burial has been popular in Han nationality since ancient times, and the funeral is grand and divided into three stages: burial, burial and burial.

The burial ceremony reflects people's worship of the soul. The Han people mainly practice burial. Cemetery is the ultimate destination of the deceased, so the choice of cemetery is the most important thing to bury the deceased. The cemetery should be chosen in a place with open terrain and beautiful scenery, and the orientation depends on the orientation of the tomb.

Now in China, burial has been gradually replaced by cremation. The state has designated this area as a cremation area, and burial is prohibited. At present, most economically underdeveloped areas such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Guizhou and Sichuan are still dominated by burial, and most urban areas have banned burial.
