Until the Qin and Han dynasties, their funeral process was similar to that of the Warring States period, but it began to become grand and formal.

So much so that at that time, the funeral ceremony also became a process of showing off, representing the status of the owner's family.

In the Han Dynasty, the funeral process can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is the etiquette before the funeral, which includes the conjuring, bathing, eating, burial, mourning, and mortuary.

The second stage is the funeral, and after the evolution, the process has become much more complicated, including the ceremony, the funeral, and the coffin.

The third stage is the treatment of mourning after the burial.

In order to show status, funerary goods have become the best interpretation.

From gold, silver, jewelry, drums, and flutes to eighteen kinds of weapons, there are no funeral objects that cannot be funerary goods.

And at that time, there was a saying, that there is nothing that can be used by a living person, and there is nothing that cannot be cultivated.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the funeral process was basically the same as that of the Han Dynasty, but during the Han Dynasty, more attention was paid to face, so the funeral goods were more abundant.

It was not until the Wei and Jin dynasties that this custom gradually declined.

However, it has declined and risen, and at this time there is a new trend of thirsty burial in funeral rites.

What is called thirsty burial means ignoring traditional etiquette, or burying according to one's own ideas, or even hastily burying.

Of course, this is mainly because of the society at that time, the war continued, and the people were struggling to make a living, where was there time to care about these things, and hastily buried became the most frequent thing.

Some dignitaries may be better, but for ordinary people on time, they still like to do things early.

Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the funeral process became complicated again, and Zhou rites began to be respected.

The Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shimin was prosperous due to his proper management, so the people's lives were naturally worry-free, and they paid more attention to these etiquettes.

In today's parlance, when everything is settled, they always want to do something, and in the end they turn to funeral services.

The funeral rites of the Tang Dynasty began to study the Zhou rites, and many more processes were added to this.

At the peak of prosperity, a person has to go through a total of 66 ceremonies from death to funeral and then to the completion of all rituals, and even if it is an insignificant etiquette, it cannot be missing.

But I can only say about this, who made the family rich and developed well at that time!

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when it came to the Song Dynasty, the Song people were also very concerned about funerals.

And at that time, in order to have a systematic process and form a certain custom, the Song Dynasty also issued regulations on funerals many times, and serious arrangements became rules, among which the most famous is "Zhenghe Li".

During the Northern Song Dynasty, many famous scholars and doctors also followed the trend, and even began to agree with them for this reason, leaving books one after another to express their views.

For example, Sima Guang, who is well known to us in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote "Sima's Shuyi" based on the "Rites" and combined with the funeral process at that time.

In the funeral procedures he organized, although most of the process was still worn from the front, it also made a lot of adjustments according to the situation at the time, which was praised by many people and can be regarded as a work.

In addition to him, Zhu Xi, a Confucian master in the Southern Song Dynasty, studied and adapted it on his own based on "Sima's Book and Rites", and finally wrote "Zhu Zi's Family Rites".

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the funeral rites they admired were mainly based on the study of "Rituals and Funeral Rites", and then with reference to Zhu Xi's "Zhuzi's Family Rites", and finally formed a set of solemn ceremonies.

Watching the evolution of funeral ceremonies, although I am in awe, I have to say that no matter what kind of culture, people will feel admired.

In addition to recording the evolution of funeral rituals, the funeral scriptures also mention a variety of strange things that may be encountered during funerals in the later parts.

And there are detailed answers to what to do.

When I saw this, I made up my mind that I must study it well, and maybe when I have studied it thoroughly, I can also express myself to explore the things in the Misty Forest.

In the next few days, I hid in the house every day to study, no matter how Jiang Yifeng bothered me, I kicked him out of the room directly, it can be said that it was about to reach a point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

In the end, it was the arrival of the village chief who interrupted me.

I really have to wonder if there is a magnetic field in the village chief, no matter when, as long as he comes, something will basically happen.

There was also a man who came with the village chief, and when he saw me, he knelt directly in front of me.

"Little coffin, you have to help!"

The other party is much older than me, so he knelt down for me when he came up, and I couldn't stand such a big gift.

I hurriedly asked Jiang Yifeng to help the other party up with me.

"This uncle, if there is anything you say slowly, if I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

In fact, I don't know that I am doing this now to make money, especially after feeling the breadth and depth of this funeral, I also hope to be able to help others through my own efforts.

"Little coffin, my old man passed away a few days ago, and I didn't care much about it because it was a happy funeral, but who knew that on the second day of the burial, when I went to the grave, the tomb was dug up, and the old man's body was gone."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, Jiang Yifeng looked at me and said, "You said that it wouldn't be stolen by someone to marry again!" ”

After all, he just experienced the matter of his second brother, and it was not surprising that Jiang Yifeng suddenly thought of a secret marriage, but I directly denied it.

"It's impossible, even if it's a yin marriage, it depends on age, the old man is happy and mourning, how can he be targeted by people of such an age."

"Then maybe the other party is a secret marriage for other old ladies!"

I really admire Jiang Yifeng, his brain hole is really not ordinary.

I didn't want to explain it to him, so I just threw him a roll of the eye.

Then I said to my uncle, "Uncle, let's do it, you can take me to see it first!" Otherwise, I can't say what is going on. ”

Uncle nodded, then I took my things, said something to my grandmother, and then went out with Jiang Yifeng and uncle.

On the way, we learned that the uncle was from Shanhou Village, and the old man in the family had a good relationship with the family before his death, and he was also an only child, and the family got along very well in the village, and there was no retaliation.

Anyway, I couldn't get any useful information from my uncle, so I had to pin my hopes elsewhere.
