Since ancient times, after death, burial is great. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info China has a "scenery funeral" saying, pay attention to this burial doorway. Don't look at a small burial, there are countless doorways implied in it, and there are differences between various nationalities and religions. For example, the Tibetan people pay attention to the "three burials", which are heavenly burial, water burial and cremation. Celestial burial refers to the dwelling of people on high mountains, cutting the bones into a certain number, and the celestial burial master recites the scriptures excessively, attracting vultures to eat the bones. Water burial is the throwing of bones into a river. Cremation is a kind of high-level Tibetan funeral, which is generally suitable for high monks and living Buddhas.

Most of the Han people pay attention to two forms of burial, one is cremation and the other is burial. Cremation is a cost-saving, time-saving, convenient and fast form of burial for people. In ancient times, the emperor generally treated high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, and paid attention to burial. The complexity of the burial rites of the Han people extends to such an extent that it can become a specialized discipline. Before the burial, pay attention to when to worship, when to enter the coffin, when to leave the house, when to fall into the soil, when to bury the soil, these are all particular, and even where to bury is also a science. Throughout the ages, the real feng shui masters have been known for finding dragon points, and this is the matter of burial.

Lao Li's house was already lively early in the morning, and the villagers and neighbors arrived early, and the incense burned for Mrs. Li could be smelled ten miles away. As we have said earlier, this village pays attention to the concept of "death is great", no matter how annoying and disgusting a person is in life, after his death, the grudges of the past should be buried in the soil with him, and the living people who know him, no matter how bad they are, they will come to put on a piece of incense, and when they are buried, they will inevitably come to give them a ride.

The old Li family played the mournful music of suona early in the morning, accompanied by the sad cries of the women of the Li family. Lao Li stood at the door of the mourning hall and greeted every guest who came to offer incense. The mourning hall was filled with the smoke of incense. Many guests were still in a calm mood, but when they came in to burn incense, they were choked with tears by the smoke, so they took advantage of the situation to make a sad gesture, and the people beside them said "festival mourning and change".

All the ceremonies on the day of the funeral are handed over to the third uncle to arrange and operate, after all, although the third uncle is not proficient, but to deal with the village funeral, that body of knowledge is enough.

In the middle of the courtyard was a coffin, made of fine cedar wood, with a layer of lacquer on the outside, and a shiny red glow. A craftsman is using a brush to brush the inside of the coffin with a layer of white rubber, and then spread a layer of red paper on the inside before it is finished. After that, the coffin is left in the air and the rubber inside is dry. When the hour comes, the old lady's body can be placed in the coffin.

When the hour comes, presided over by the third uncle, the men of the Li family kneel at the door of the mourning hall and cannot look up, while the women of the Li family need to exit the mourning hall and kneel behind the men. Then several strong men carried the coffin into the mourning hall, put the body of Mrs. Li into the coffin, and then put the coffin in a good position. However, at this time, the coffin cannot be closed, and the coffin can only be closed until the funeral time.

After that, the third uncle held the family tree of the Li family and stood in the middle of the door, and below him were the descendants of the Li family who were kneeling. The third uncle recited the eulogy and read out the names of the living descendants of the Li family, one was to mourn, and the other was to let the guests know, and then the descendants of the Li family took turns to offer incense according to their status.

After these rituals, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, Li Ziping had just arrived. Lao Li and the third uncle hurriedly went to greet him.

After Li Ziping went to the mourning hall to serve incense, Lao Li asked people to bring a rooster and the longest chicken feathers on the three chicken tails.

Li Ziping first took the three chicken feathers, pinched the sword trick in his hand, walked clockwise around the mourning hall three times, walked counterclockwise three times, and put the three chicken feathers into the coffin after finishing. After that, the rooster was fetched and disemboweled, and the blood was bled on the spot. The chicken blood was served in a bowl and placed on the table in the mourning hall, and a basin was brought later.

All the people of the Li family and the guests and villagers did not dare to make noise at this time, and quietly watched Li Ziping set up the formation.

saw Li Ziping put one hand into the rooster's abdomen, dug for a while, took out the bloody internal organs, and put them in the basin. Then the lid of the coffin is brought and on the back of the lid of the coffin, that is, towards the side inside the coffin, it is smeared with the internal organs of the rooster.

At this time, the air was filled with a smell of blood, accompanied by the smell of incense in the mourning hall, which made people smell very disgusting. After doing this, he picked up the bowl containing chicken blood on the table of the mourning hall, and walked to the coffin, only to see that after he stained his fingers with chicken blood, he drew strange patterns on the wall inside the coffin.

The third uncle followed, wanting to learn something, but he couldn't understand Li Ziping's formation at all. Although Dao and Destiny can be said to be the same one, after subdivision, they extend a lot of differences, and sometimes the practice of understanding Destiny according to the way of understanding Taoism may not be understood, and Li Ziping concentrates on the formation of the formation, and it is impossible to explain it to the third uncle.

As mentioned earlier, the weather in Hainan belongs to the four seasons such as summer, at this time it is already close to noon, the sun is bursting, and the house where the mourning hall is placed is filled with fireworks, the heat is boiling, and the whole house is like a steamer. After some operation, when the formation was arranged, Li Ziping was already sweating like soybeans on his forehead, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

All the time is just like calculated, as soon as the formation is finished, it will be the time for the funeral. The third uncle hurriedly presided over the ceremony and asked the coffin board to be closed. At this time, Lao Li held the portrait of Mrs. Li, and the oldest of the descendants of the church held the incense burner of Mrs. Li. There is a saying that the son of the deceased generally holds the portrait and the incense burner, but Mr. Li only has one son, Lao Li, so Lao Li holds the statue, so the incense burner can only be held by the man from the Li family hall. Holding the incense burner is Lao Li's cousin, who does not live in this village, and left the village to eat in the town in his early years, and only rushed back yesterday when he heard that Mrs. Li died. The rest of the descendants of the Li family can only support the coffin. Daughters, daughters-in-law, and women of the Li family who married out could only follow behind.

In this way, Lao Li and his cousin walked in front, the coffin was behind, and the rest of the Li family's descendants followed, and then behind were the villagers, neighbors, and guests who came to see off Mrs. Li. It is customary to set off a small string of firecrackers at each stage of the road, in order to inform others not to block the path of the dead into the ground, and then the suona that plays incessantly follows. To this day, this custom still exists in most places, but whenever there is a funeral procession, the traffic police and police will not stop it casually, for fear of disturbing the dead and touching the moldy head.

The place where Old Master Li was buried is in Honglingzi.

Honglingzi is the highest mountain in the vicinity, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the mountains and rivers and nearby villages, the scenery is excellent.

But in terms of feng shui, Honglingzi is not the best burial site. But the common people of that era did not expect to find those dragon veins and tigers' dens when they were buried, as long as the burial place was not a place of great evil.
