Welcome to Guanshu Network:

In other words, funerals in the countryside are actually quite cumbersome, especially in those days, rich people are all heavy, what is thick? The coffin board should be thick, the shroud should be thick, and the quilt covered by the dead should be thick.

It is often said that the poor buried a thin-skinned coffin, or a roll of straw mats, which is a symbol of the family's not being rich, rich people, this aunt's family is also a rich family in the local area, and her coffin is naturally more exquisite: the coffin is made of fir wood, and the materials are also extremely particular: 12 pieces, 3 at the bottom, 3 on both sides, 3 before and after. Five bottoms, 20 cedar boards, each of which is 5; This is a symbol of the wealthy family

Clothes, rich people have five collars and three waists of silk in the end, that is, the top is 5 pieces, the bottom is 3 pieces, all of which are made of silk, in fact, it is silk cotton. A few days ago, I attended a funeral and sent a quilt with a mark on it: national uniform price, 88.8 yuan......

The general people of the shroud are the clothing of the Ming Dynasty, with garden collars, square scarves, and thick-soled boots. This is the so-called birth and surrender (referring to wearing modern clothes before death) and death not descending (referring to still wearing Ming Dynasty clothes after death, and the last Han dynasty was Ming)

When they died, the faces of the rich were covered with silk scarves, and the common people covered them with a large table of paper, that is, a piece of yellow paper burned to the dead.

The two hands of the dead man should be slightly clenched in his fists, and he should take seven pieces of bread and wear them with sticks, which is also called dog beating, which means that the deceased goes to the underworld and encounters a vicious dog or the like, so he throws a large cake over, and then the deceased has a silver dollar in his mouth, and one in each of his hands.

After death, light an oil lamp in front of the bed, light incense and candles, put a bowl of inverted rice, two eggs, and the whole family has to kneel. So tell relatives and friends, and then find someone to report the funeral, the funeral is still a foot work, need to give others a new pair of liberation shoes, let the people in the village wear to walk to call relatives, if there is a long way, the mourning person is really tired to death, before the funeral, to the deceased to dress, this is called a small funeral

We came to report the funeral by a person from my aunt's village, and when we went, we just caught up with the small funeral, how to do it? Ask the women of the village to wipe their bodies with a new towel in the river water, three times on each of their chests and back, and then comb their hair, also three times.

The replacement of the shroud, to prepare a bucket, the bucket put sesame oil lamp, 7 wicks, the bucket is placed on the bamboo sieve, the sieve can be put on the shroud, the shroud is draped on the body of the filial son, that is, the aunt's son, and then she can change into the shroud, and then cut off the collar of the filial son's shirt and stuff it into the collar of the aunt; The hands and feet were covered with a sleeve made of silk cotton, and then they had to wait for the priest or the Taoist priest to come

This aunt's family naturally invited a Taoist priest, this Taoist priest is an old Taoist priest in the next village, who lives by telling fortunes for other people on weekdays and doing white law work, and at that time the people from the aunt's family are invited to send a red envelope, a cigarette, a pair of liquor, two catties of sugar, a pig head, and a number of fabrics, this Taoist priest is willing to come, and the shelf is very big

The Taoist priest I went to was already there, holding a bell in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and there was a bowl on the kitchen knife, and then he recited a mantra, which is called Posha, and then sprinkled the tea leaves in the bowl with rice into the coffin, and then shouted: Get up! A few helpers carried the old lady into the coffin

The other people should immediately take the straw under the bed and the clothes and shoes they wore before death, and put them outside the gate and burn them immediately, commonly known as burning the bed grass. When the deceased is put in the coffin, it is considered a big burial

Then immediately the kitchen knife and bowl were placed under the coffin, and the sleeping lamp was lit, and the children began to cry, and we children began to go up and kowtow

In the evening, after dinner, my cousin took me to hide in the corner, in order to occupy this position to see the fairy bridge up close, it is really not easy, because children are forbidden to appear at this time, so we also hide under the stairwell

The Taoist priest brought a chair with a back and put it on with clothes, and then tied a person's head with cotton on the head of the chair, and then draped it with a black towel, and then surrounded it with an apron on the edge of the chair, indicating that this person was the deceased aunt

Then use 6 square tables, lined up in a long shape, and build them with bamboo to make the shape of a bridge. When he was a child, the filial son knelt on the ground with a tablet to welcome the dead, the Taoist priest chanted, and everyone helped the dead to cross the bridge with the chair. The atmosphere is eerie

My aunt's eldest son, my eldest cousin, walked in front with the spiritual seat, my younger cousin and cousin walked in the back with a chair, and the Taoist priest led the way in front, ringing the bell as he walked with his eyes closed, and the bridge was arched

The Taoist priest passed, and the eldest cousin also walked over, just when everyone was waiting for the little cousin to pass, he fell at the arch of the bridge, at first he thought that the bamboo was more slippery, the Taoist priest saw it, and could only say that the aunt didn't want to go, and he was nostalgic for everyone, so he asked the little cousin to go again.

Everyone held the mentality of watching the excitement, walked again, this time still walked to the same position, and wrestled again; This time, the Taoist priest couldn't stand it anymore, so he let his cousin, his cousin-in-law, and his little cousin walk on the chairs, and the third time, sure enough, fell in the same position again......

This fairy bridge can't be walked, which means that this person's soul can't enter reincarnation, which can be anxious for everyone on the spot, we children are still watching the excitement, but many adults already want to leave here, this situation means that there is a problem.

This scene is also the first time the old Taoist priest has seen it, and he is also panicked, found a hemp rope, and directly tied the chair to the little cousin's body, at this time it is impossible to change people, and changing a person means that this person is not a filial son, it is very embarrassing, and many relatives are called to help him.

The fourth time I crossed the Immortal Bridge, in the same position, and when the chair reached that position again, the whole bridge collapsed with a bang, and everyone on the bridge, including the Taoist priest, fell to the ground, and the chair fell directly to pieces.

The people present hurriedly went over to help them, except for the chair, the others were fine, except for the Taoist priest, whose head fell on the corner of the table, and he was directly red...... Everyone found a towel for him to cover and asked him what to do, at this time the old Taoist priest was no longer good, and shouted in his mouth: "If you don't do it, don't do it, there are ghosts here!" When he spoke, he was already crying, and then he covered his head, and he didn't even have time to take the guy's business, so he ran out directly......

You said that this Taoist priest took the lead in saying that a ghost ran out, and the rest of the people exploded at once, who dared to stay, except for the people in his family, the others, including me, all ran out at once......

That night we were staying at my grandmother's house, before dawn, the door of my grandmother's house was knocked wildly, the door was opened by my grandfather, opened the door was the eldest cousin, when I entered the door, my legs were trembling, I grabbed my grandfather and shouted: "Uncle, hurry up and be a companion, the family does not dare to keep people, I am afraid of panic, or tomorrow morning to give it away, this white word dare not do it anymore." ”

My grandfather also saw that scene that day, although it was not a trouble to bury the old lady early tomorrow morning, first, it was not in accordance with the rules, and secondly, the Taoist priests were scared away, and then the family was afraid that he would not dare to live in the house, so he remembered Cha Wenbin, so he asked his eldest cousin to wait, and went to call my dad to get up, and hurried to Cha Wenbin to have a look.

In those years, our family did not have much contact with Cha Wenbin, and he also came to my house several times, each time he went to the General's Temple, and then left, it is said that he didn't even spend much time at home, and no one knew what he was doing.

rushed to Cha's house overnight, and it was his youngest son Cha Liang who opened the door, and asked Cha Liang where his father was? Cha Liang said that he was sleeping, he had just come home from other places, and he had just rested for a short time, so he rushed over to ask Cha Wenbin to get up, and my father was also quite respectful to him, if it wasn't for the urgency, I wouldn't dare to disturb him.

After waiting for a while, Cha Wenbin came out, put on his clothes and asked my dad what was the matter, I haven't seen him for a few years, Cha Wenbin still looks so energetic, and tells the situation again, Cha Wenbin grabbed the Qiankun bag and left, telling his son to take care of the house, so he and my dad left for my grandmother's house

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, it was already dawn, Cha Wenbin first went to my aunt's house to take a look, and then went out, went directly to the old Taoist's house, knocked on the door, made a gesture, and after understanding the situation of the day with the old Taoist, he went to my grandmother's house again.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, I said that I wanted to sleep, and I would call him when it was dark, and inform my aunt's house that everything was as usual, just don't seal the coffin, and he would pass it when it got dark.

Cha Wenbin has always been very fond of explaining, everyone had to do what he said, there are few people in my aunt's house now, and no one in the village dares to go, and we children are naturally told not to run outside.

When it got dark, my grandmother carefully woke him up and ate dinner, my dad couldn't help but ask him what was going on, Cha Wenbin smiled and said, I'm afraid that the old Taoist will not take this errand again in the future, a person who has studied with him for a few years and is buried in the funeral, and he dares to call himself a Taoist priest?
