Let's recall Chen's beautiful funeral a few days ago.

Generally, you are not allowed to wear red shoes or red clothes to attend funerals (red is not allowed).

Chen Meili had a 3-year-old son named Liang Liang before her death.

The day of Chen Meimei's death was the 19th. The funeral was on the 20th, and it was heavy, dark, and depressing, and it was drizzling.

The monks who did the work were not Chen Miaoji, who did things for several nearby villages on weekdays to earn some money to support their families. The monk has hair, a family, a wife and children; It's not really a senior monk in a Shaolin temple, in the vernacular, it should be a profession and a skill.

A girl in big red shoes appears at the funeral. When the girl in the red shoes arrived, the service was already halfway through; Around two or three o'clock, that is, the 20th day of the burial. The girl in the red shoes looked at the hall: 'Chen Meili is lying in the coffin, and a newly bought blanket is draped on top of the coffin, which is placed in the hall. There was a bowl of incense on the worship counter in the hall. (The bowl is full of half-boiled glutinous rice, and there is an egg standing in the middle of the glutinous rice, which is fragrant on the glutinous rice)

The monk's apprentice held the talisman in his hand, then pasted it on the beam of the wall, and finally smashed the talisman with a stone, and cursed in his mouth...... The monk wore a robe and a hat, and his mouth was broken and recited......

At this time, all relatives should wear strips of white cloth, men on the left and women on the right, tied around their arms. (According to the generation, those who are higher in rank and the deceased are brothers and sisters are tied with white strips of cloth; The deceased's hall, cousin, aunt, and aunt's juniors were tied with blue cloth, and the closest relatives were to wear linen and filial piety) and there were also those who raised their voices to help cry and sing. (The package is generally divided into 3 types (division of labor), the monk who is excessive, the suona team and the crying)

After tying all the strips of white cloth (blue cloth) in their hands, they took incense and formed a circle. (There is usually an elder who is responsible for lighting the incense, and then distributing it to all relatives who need it) The closest one follows behind the monk, and so on, forming a circle around the coffin, and following the back of the monk.

The one who weeps and sings reads the names of their relatives one by one, and then asks the deceased to bless the living person with good health, prosperous business, prosperous business, smooth work, and rising step by step (e.g., the name of the uncle's uncle, the name of the uncle's children, the name of the aunt's children, the name of the aunt's children; And then there's the name of the uncle, the name of the uncle's children, the name of the aunt, the name of the aunt's children, and so on...... ）

The girl in the red shoes was at the end of the line, and behind her was the monk. The girl in the red shoes lowered her head and looked up from time to time, and the faces of the people at this moment were very deep, and there was no trace of a smile. One of them was the younger brother's wife (brother-in-law), who bullied her when she was alive, a very cruel kind of bullying, killing the nine-month-old child of the younger brother-in-law, and the child died in the womb. (The girl in red shoes knows this scene) but her brother-in-law's eyes are red, and she has shed tears at a glance, and her brother-in-law is too kind. (The word 'good and bullied' is the most suitable way to describe the younger brother and daughter-in-law) The innocuous people who circled around the seat were expressionless, not sad or happy (the closest ones were crying by the coffin).

After turning around 3 times, he took a break, and the monk continued to break his thoughts and exceeds in front of the hall. There is one who is responsible for collecting all the incense and inserting it in a fixed position. After the monk finished reciting, he divided the incense and turned in circles. Repeat this 3 times. The suona team began to play a tune...... At the same time, one of the closest people knelt on the ground, did as the monk said, and threw the divination in the basket in his hand to the sky, indicating that the deceased could agree to this request; Both of them are upward, they are laughing hexagrams, and they must never. Both are reversed, proving that there is no play.

The person who was blowing and crying while the suona began to say the name again, blessing and the like...... The monk also does his job at the same time...... In the end, the deceased should be bless their loved ones, and then they should take care of themselves, be well, and go on the road well......

Then the coffin was sent to the burial, and several of the more powerful people in the village were responsible for carrying the coffin to the front, followed by those wearing linen and filial piety, and finally the suona team...... After sending it for a while, I have to go back, and I can't send it again. Even if you don't give up, you can't send it anymore. Implication: 'Otherwise, the deceased will not be at ease to leave.' (Some of them were reluctant and weeping very fiercely, because they would never be seen again.) But in the end, they were all pulled back, and they had to be pulled back if they were stunned) After the project was completed, the white cloth strips (blue cloth strips) were put away. (Keep your own because you still have to use it at night) Along the way, you have to send red envelopes to 'black and white impermanence', a total of three.

The corners of the girl in the red shoes rose slightly: "You should have died a long time ago." When you go down to see my brother, remember to make amends to him and ask him to forgive you. Hum! Doing so many bad things and dying like this, it's too cheap for you. ”

In the evening, a group of women in the neighborhood were chatting. Inadvertently chatting about the meal of the meal. Chen Meiyan told them: "Our meat cooked today is very delicious, we need to eat more." (The girl in the red shoes said faintly, 'You can't say that the meat is delicious!') If this voice could be heard by those of you, it would have scared you to death. "You can't say that the meat is delicious" is also a kind of forbidden, because the legend says that the meat of this day is the meat of the dead, and if it is delicious, it is equivalent to eating the meat of your own relatives) Generally don't say what it is, just don't express anything quietly.

After dinner, I started to work again. Some of the female relatives of the relatives helped to roll the origami circle (there is a small piece of silver fire paper in the middle) The silver paper is rolled into a roll, and the silver one faces outward, and then the two ends are pressed inward to fix the shape of the circle) In the corner, the girl in the red shoes is also helping to roll, and muttering while rolling: "This is a gold bar, right?" ”

While the monk was chanting his 'mantra', then the one who cried would recite the name of the person who kept the spirit, and the person who squatted next to him would sing a few words along with it. Then go to kowtow and worship, and when all the watchmen have worshipped, it will be the next step.

According to the custom, a large amount of burning paper should be given to the deceased, (the silver paper with a silver color in the middle, and the gold paper called gold paper) The more burned the better. However, it is generally enough to stop, after all, these fire papers also need real money to exchange. These fire papers are generally burned on the props that are specially used to burn these things, but the countryside is not so particular, just use a large pot, and throw the fire paper into the large pot to burn. Or burn it directly on the ground where there is less grass. (Directly on the ground, these situations are generally in the Dragon Boat Festival, ancestor worship and other specific holidays when worshipping, the countryside does not matter, the city will buy a special toolbox)

On the day of the funeral, when the silver paper is burned, there is a custom that a group of people gather around the pot, holding a stick in one hand and hitting the edge of the pot with the other end until the paper is burned. Generally, let the silver paper burn out by itself, and occasionally you can lift it to make it burn faster. (The implication is: in the underworld, people will not be bullied) Finally, use the hat to go to the sky with the burned silver paper, and then flip the big pot to the earth, which will end this link, and then the next link......
