Chapter Ninety-One: A Guest Burns Paper
Now the big collar who shouts the road in many film and television works has disappeared, not that they don't want to use it, but this thing has been almost lost, and many young people can't learn it at all, and few people are willing to learn it.
Besides, even if you are willing to learn, you may not be able to learn the kind of high and low tones that are low and low, and you can't shout that kind of charm.
Speaking of this big leader who shouted the way, when I was a child, there was really one in our village, and it was a good shout, and I learned a few words when I was a child.
The first sentence is naturally the ancestors on the road, but words can't express that kind of taste, and it's a good shout.
With the words of the big collar, the filial son wanted to smash the old basin hard, and at the same time, the father and mother started crying, and a group of strong men with big shoulders and round waists tied up the coffin with a rope and carried it out on their shoulders.
Of course, the doors of some rural main houses are not too wide, and in order to show their filial piety, the coffins are made very large, and this is the time to test the skills of these busy guests.
A coffin, if calculated according to normal, is three or four hundred catties to death, but some coffins seem to weigh a thousand catties, and the materials used are fresh wood, and every nail seeps out of the water, which can crush people.
When going out, there must be a person in front of you who carries the coffin on his back, and this person must be very powerful, and he can protect himself if something happens.
After going out, there was a coffin bed, and the coffin was placed on the coffin bed, covered with a cover, and thirty-two people took turns to carry it to the dug grave for burial.
This kind of complicated ritual is no longer seen in the city, only part of the countryside remains, and the shouting along the way is also very interesting. Let's popularize it here.
When the coffin goes out, it has to stop in the middle of the road, and the steward's announcement of the gift list is how many gifts the deceased's relatives and friends have received, this is lackluster, generally speaking, the deceased's daughter will have a table of sugar people, a table of offerings, a number of white silk, and a number of money.
Those who have money can be extravagant and wasteful, the gift list is also very rich, and the money is relatively simple.
As for relatives and friends, neighbors in the same village, then it is as you like, generally speaking, it used to be ten yuan, but now it has risen to a hundred.
After announcing the gift list, the big leader who shouted the road began to shout the first voice at this time: "front and back upper shoulder babbling ......" followed by a long tail note, which sounds particularly good.
Of course, this collar must also have a loud voice, speak clearly, and strive to convey every word clearly to the ears of those who should hear it in the chaotic scene.
I once asked the big leader of our village, if there is any trick, the big leader told me at the time, shouting this, singing with the opera is a truth, you must use dantian qi, you can't shout if you haven't practiced at all, even if you can shout out, you will shout hoarse after a while.
The front and back upper shoulders refer to the sixteen people who carry the coffin to work together to lift the coffin, which avoids the inconsistency of the front and back forces, causing the coffin to roll over.
If the deceased really has any grievances, the first time the upper shoulders before and after, either the coffin rope is broken or extremely heavy, and the bar is pressed on the shoulder, and the person who hurts into the bone.
If there is no grievance, it is naturally easy to lift up, a coffin is only three or four hundred catties, plus less than five hundred catties, even if you add the coffin bed and cover, seven hundred catties will be killed, sixteen people will share the burden, and one person will be less than fifty catties, so it can naturally be lifted very easily.
After entering the road, the collar should look ahead to prevent any potholes from stumbling or branches hanging from the coffin on both sides of the road.
At this time, if there are these, the big collar should remind these coffin bearers in advance, and shout out the road conditions ahead by shouting the way, both for the living and the dead.
"There is a big pit in front of you, and there is a gold wire hanging on the top, half a step to the left."
In the past, there were no asphalt roads in the countryside, and the whole road was muddy on rainy days, and there were large cars passing by, so that the road was full of large and small potholes, and it was easy to stumble without seeing it, and it became necessary to shout for the road.
My godfather used to be a leader, and he taught me all these knowledge, and once, when he was in his seventies, his teeth had fallen out, so he installed a mouthful of dentures for the convenience of eating.
When shouting for the road once, because the dantian was too lucky, as soon as he shouted the first word, the dentures flew out, but fortunately he reacted quickly and quickly caught it with his hand so that it would not fall to the ground.
Rao is so, and the people around him are also happy, they have participated in so many funerals, and they have never seen such a dramatic scene, they were supposed to shout before and after, but the person carrying the coffin did not move at all, and they were so happy that tears were about to come out.
Grandpa Gan was also very embarrassed, and since then he has taken the initiative to abdicate to make way for Xian, but it is also a little too old to continue to work.
To get back to the point, Big Li and Uncle Yu are also very familiar with each other, so in this case, he naturally wanted to help, so he walked straight over.
As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Yu's eldest son Zhuzi took the initiative to come over and kowtow to him.
This is also a rural custom, as the saying goes, expensive but newcomers, cheap but filial piety, filial piety is the lowest before the parents are buried, no matter who it is, as long as it is to help, or to mourn, enter the door filial piety to kowtow to others.
Originally, Big Li wanted to make fun of the pillar, because the relationship between the two was also good, but when he encountered this kind of thing, it would be a little inappropriate to joke again, so he quickly picked him up, only said one word, and went to help with what he didn't expect.
At this time, many people in the Zhuzi family were already busy working, the women were busy sewing filial piety robes and hats, and the men found wooden sticks to plant on the ground to build a spiritual shed.
Soon, the funeral booth was erected, the offering table was placed in the center, two white candles were lit, and the portrait of the old man was placed in the center. Since it was daytime, it didn't feel eerie, and the courtyard was full of people, diluting the bad luck of death.
Soon on the third day, relatives and friends from near and far came to burn paper for the deceased, and then discussed what scale the burial of the deceased would need, how much money each family would need, and so on.
In the rural areas, this is called discussing matters, and everyone must discuss everything, and everyone will come up with a practical plan, so as not to let those who are not doing well pay more, and second, everyone will have a light on their faces.
For example, relatives from the same distance and near and far, without discussion, you don't know how much money others will receive, everyone is the same, you take 100, and others take 200 is a slap in the face, why do you take more than me? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to keep me from coming off the stage?
Therefore, it is necessary to deliberate, and on the first three days, when relatives and friends are discussing, on this day, from early in the morning until 12 o'clock at noon, the guests will come in turn.
Relatives and friends don't live together, and they don't discuss who will come when, those who are close may be late, those who are far away may come first, plus the drummers who have been ringing for three days, the whole yard is noisy.
As one of the many stewards, Li Dazi is responsible for notifying the filial sons and grandsons who are kneeling in the mourning room that a certain relative has come to burn paper to worship, and at this time, someone will specially light a string of cannons, at this time, you listen, the cry in the mourning room is simply earth-shattering.
This is not to say that as a younger generation of unfilial piety, but the person itself is difficult to bear to a certain extent, but he can't cry, and some have already cried several times, and his voice is almost hoarse, and he has to rest, right?
At this time, it is necessary to go to the form, as the saying goes, go to the grave to burn newspapers, fool ghosts, usually do not cry, once relatives and friends come to burn paper to worship, at this time you have to pretend to be a little pretend.
As soon as the steward shouted in front of him, he had to cry in the mourning room, because the main entrance of the mourning room was blocked by the mourning shed, and he could not see the outside from the inside, so he could only listen with his ears pricked up.
On the third day, Li Yang, the best, finally got out of bed, although he couldn't help much, he also came over to help bring a plate and wash the dishes.
Because they are all from the same village, the relationship they usually deal with is also very positive, and they are often used to joking with the pillars, this kid's eyes rolled, and a bad water came out.
discussed with everyone whether to fix the pillar once, and everyone also followed the coaxing to see how he could fix the family.
At this time, Li Yang unhurriedly brought a string of artillery battles from the account room, came to the side, and then shouted at the big man Li, ready to light the artillery battle.
The relationship between the big man Li and him was so good that he couldn't be more correct, and he knew what he meant as soon as he talked about the big man Li, and shouted at the mourning room: "There is a guest to burn paper!" ”
In fact, no one came at this time, Li Yang lit the cannon battle in a similar way, and in the crackling sound, the pillar took his brother, daughter-in-law, and son. The nephew and others cried inside, so they waited for the guests outside to come in and worship after burning the paper, and they helped them up, so that they could stop crying immediately.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came, and the big man Li and the others outside laughed so much that they squatted on the ground holding their stomachs and couldn't get up, but some old people frowned, accusing them of not making such a joke, there would be retribution.
But they are all young people, and they don't care, the pillar has been crying for a long time and no one has seen anyone, so they know that it is broken, and they have been fooled, and someone must be watching their own jokes.
The probe came out, and the pillar scolded, but everyone was used to joking, and no one cared.
If it was in normal times, with the shrewdness of the pillar, it would not be easy for these people to deceive him, but they didn't expect to joke with themselves on such an occasion.
After a busy day, by two or three o'clock in the afternoon, basically everything was finalized, and the relatives went home to prepare to go, after all, the dead had to be buried at home for seven days, and it was not too late for him to come back on the day of burial.
When I got home, Mr. Li had dinner and watched TV for a while, and he felt that his eyelids were fighting, so he went to bed early.
In a daze, I heard someone calling for his door, as if he was in a hurry, and he didn't know what was going on, and at this time, Big Man Li suddenly found that he was pressed on the bed by a ghost.
Although I knew very well in my heart that someone was calling me that something must have happened, the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't move, and except for my eyes, it was as if I didn't have my own.
So, he turned his eyes hard to see what was pressing on him, and normally, the ghost press bed could not see anything, but he saw a black shadow, lying on top of him in the dark, and he couldn't see whether it was a person or something else.
This frightened him, his hairs stood on end, his scalp was numb, if it wasn't for the urge to urinate, he could be scared to pee.
