The deceased should wear a shroud when he is dying. The colors of the shroud are red, blue and blue. Black is forbidden. After the death of the dying person, the deceased is a human being, and the spiritual bed stops in the middle of the bed; It is a woman who stops the bed in the inner bedroom (that is, rushing to the door or right indoors). Light incense sticks and a small oil lamp (according to the corpse lamp) in front of the coffin, put a bottle of rice, cover the rice with bread, tie the bottle with red cloth, insert a pair of new red chopsticks and name it "Yin-Yang bottle". Put an earthen basin on the ground, and drill several holes in the middle of the basin bottom. The son of the deceased will wear several holes. Burning tin foil in a pot is called "holding a pot".
Second, after the mourning stopped, the family members cried around and immediately sent a message to their relatives and friends. At this time, the family obeyed the etiquette and became uniforms. Mourning can be divided into five parts: confusing, Cui Zi (immediate clothing), big clothing, careful brushing and clothing.
Third, mourning
Relatives and friends came to pay their respects, and the dutiful son thanked the guests with a bamboo stick-a funeral sign (the man lost the bamboo pole and the woman lost the willow tree). The female guest went to the spirit to mourn, and the good wife kowtowed beside her.
Fourth, make coffins.
The coffin was made in the yard, and it was covered with nanmu, miscellaneous wood, catalpa bungeana, Toona sinensis, elm and so on. Followed by Sophora japonica, which is forbidden. The worst one is made of thin plate, commonly known as "dog touch" (meaning that the dog will open when it touches it).
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Yicheng
On the second or third day after death, people are "dead". This afternoon, many friends and relatives came to visit, and they were all given filial hats and scarves. Lacquer cloth and red silk are used as curtains in coffins and lids. Then, under the guidance of Gao Deng, follow the drum music, family, relatives and friends to queue up to go to the land temple. The other two men were carrying buckets full of thin rice flour water, scooping water and splashing (soup). At the same time, banknotes were scattered all over the floor. When we arrived at the Land Temple, the sedan chair or cow (a cow for female mourning) was burned, and the deceased was told to "get on the sedan chair" three times, kowtowing and returning, and the coffin was buried. In the evening, "send the travelling expenses", such as "making soup". Since then, chickens crow every day and burn foil at dusk, which is called "roast chicken crows paper at night". Burn paper every seven days.
Sixth, point to the Lord
Before the funeral, you should write an obituary, which should write the year, month, day, hour of birth and death of the deceased and the time of hanging and burial. It was arranged four days ago, and a pair of paper lions, four splayed ball columns and a big drum were placed outside the door. In case a guest comes to hang it, the drum will be reported inside, and the male guest will knock 3 times and the female guest will knock 2 times. Outside the second door, there are many "luxuries" such as boys and girls and cows. (For mourning, but "luxury goods" are changed to cars, color TVs, refrigerators, etc. ). In the courtyard, a tent is built high, and a mourning hall is built in front of the coffin house. There are curtains on the left and right sides of the hall, and the words "regret" and "death" are written on the door. There is a plaque hanging in the middle, which says "heaven is confused" There are tables, several portraits and offerings under the plaque. Lay a worship mat in front of the table to pay tribute to the mourners; Small mats are laid on both sides for the "bowl shed" people to accompany and worship; Put two benches outside the door and have a rest to thank people.
Three days before the funeral, a ceremony of "becoming the Lord" was held. The subject is sitting on a chair with a red carpet, a red table and chair seat, holding a new writing brush on the table, dipping it in ink and writing the name of the deceased in the middle of the cedar owner, and writing the date of birth and death on both sides (this is the connotation). Then, in the voice of "concentrate on writing and digress", change the pen and write "filial piety to a man" at the ceremony. The dutiful son is finished after three heads.
Take a break, and then "order". Etiquette is the same as the subject, except that the subject dips cinnabar with a new pen and adds a little to the "king" of the "God King" on the letters inside and outside the subject to form the word "Lord". This is the "point master".
VII. Family Sacrifice
Two days before the funeral, the dutiful son kneels three times and knocks nine times, the first kneeling is "into the knight", the second kneeling is "into the dish" and the third kneeling is "into the soup". After the filial son died, the family died in accordance with their age. In the evening, when the "guests" arrived, a funeral banquet was held. Funeral meals are commonly known as "horse racing meals" (described quickly). The dutiful son kowtowed and thanked the food, and the family came to toast and dispersed after dinner.
Eight, be hanged
After the family sacrifice, the guests came to salute, and the closest relatives, distant relatives and family friends came to the "mourning hall" in turn to kowtow and make three obeisances. The dutiful son sits behind the right door of the mourning hall, and every time a guest salutes, he makes a ceremony (cast in iron, shaped like an ancient rock) to show his gratitude.
The salute of the female guest is called "giving the spirit". After the salute, she wept bitterly in the coffin room and gave a towel of filial piety. After the guests leave at midnight, they tear down the mourning hall and pour fermented noodles on it, which is called "pulling out the mourning shed".
IX. Funeral
Early in the morning of the funeral, the dutiful son kowtowed and "invited the coffin" and went into the coffin room to carry the coffin, which was guided by the grandson of the deceased with a banner. After the coffin was carried out, it stopped in the road, and a table was set in front of the coffin for a "road sacrifice ceremony". Then the coffin was carried, and the dutiful son threw the basin steadily, with high lights and flags as the guide, followed by drum music, "luxury", five deacons, horses and gongs.
The funeral procession usually detours to the edge of the city (or village). The dutiful son thanked the guests and asked them to "stay". After walking about half a mile, he kowtowed and asked them to stay. Then the guests took off their hats and went back to the city. Relatives and close friends accompanied him to the burial place.
Bury
The coffin was transported by geotechnical engineering to the place designated by Mr. Feng Shui. After the dutiful son broke ground, he dug a tomb, commonly known as "Golden Well". Roll in the coffin with a log. After disembarking, put a "mourning staff" in front of the coffin, a "Yin-Yang rice bottle" and a "corpse lamp" on the coffin head. The native chicken (called tomb-throwing chicken) spins three times above the coffin, grabs three handfuls of sorghum from the prepared bucket and throws it into the into the pit, which is known as "three steep rises". The dutiful son cried with his relatives. After grabbing soil and scattering coffins, they circled the hole for three weeks before taking soil to cover the coffins, commonly known as "coffins going down to the ground". After burning lavishly, put the banner on the top of the grave and set up a grave for sacrifice. After drinking, relatives and friends hastily built the earth and returned to the spirit. After returning home, we lit red candles, burned incense, set off firecrackers and played beautiful music in the hall, which is commonly known as "commemorating the God of Wealth". After the worship, the dutiful sons presented portraits on the table. The dutiful sons sat on bags filled with sorghum, drinking brown sugar tea and eating sweets as soon as possible. Afterwards, a banquet will be held for Martin and his relatives and friends attending the funeral. After the banquet, clean the joints and dismantle the shed.
Xi。 Post-funeral custom
On the third day after the funeral, the whole family went to the "round grave" to worship, burn paper and tin foil, build a grave, and hosted a banquet on the fourth day to pay for the care of others. On the fifth day, I began to thank the mourners, and the dutiful son had to wear mourning clothes to pay homage.
