Chapter 89 Funeral

-----First of all, I wish you good luck! The Seven Fairies and Dong Yonglai are asking you for support! Without your support, it would be difficult for our husband and wife to reunite, and a happy life would be even more out of reach. No one knows our suffering without clicking, we have to sleep on the street without collection, we are black accounts without recommendation, we are Diao people without evaluation, we can't afford breakfast without rewards, we have to be hungry without subscriptions, and we can't afford to take the bus without a monthly pass. Ask for support-----

Since Dong Yong's mother, Dong Gu, died when she gave birth to Dong Yong for another reason, then Dong Yongke's mother's matter is not necessarily true.

However, in the context of superstition in ancient times, it is taken for granted.

Since Li Zhang's likes Xiao Dongyong, things are very easy to handle.

Li Zhang promised to feed Xiao Dongyong.

Dong Yong's father, the director, is also relieved.

Subsequently, the director entrusted Xiao Dongyong to Li Zhang.

Zhang Sanniang has become a real noble person in Xiao Dongyong's life experience.

Then, the director returned home and took care of the funeral of his wife, Dong Yong's mother, Dong Gu (in fact, to find a place to place the body).

Because the director returned home to take care of his wife Dong Gu's funeral, there were also a lot of things, even if the neighbors helped, it would take a lot of time.

In addition, there is a white happy event (in fact, it is a funeral) in the house, which is unlucky and inconvenient to move around.

Therefore, the director has never gone to Li Zhiyong's house in Lijiaxiang to visit his son Xiao Dongyong.

Until the morning of the burial of Dong Yong's mother Dong Gushi, Dong Yong's father, director from Li Zhiyong's house in Lijia Lane, Zhang Sanniang also came over.

Then, Zhang Sanniang hugged Xiao Dongyong out of Li Zhang's room.

Dong Yong's father, the director, took a look at Xiao Dong Yong's situation, and immediately felt completely relieved.

For what?

Because Xiao Dongyong's situation is better than the director's expectation.

Xiao Dong Yong seems to have grown a little longer.

It seems that Li Zhang's is "empathetic and don't fall in love", and treats Xiao Dongyong as his own son.

Next, Dong Yong's father, the director, thanked Li Zhang's room and said: "Thank you for the great kindness of Xian Lianli (that is, husband and wife), the director is unforgettable, and when the child grows up in the future, he must be a child (that is, he is required to treat Li Zhang and his wife as the same biological parents in the future). ”

Li Zhang quickly replied to the director in the room: "Mr. Dong is welcome, some things are also fate, so don't mind, go early and return early, don't make the child hungry and cry." ”

Since Li Zhang said so, Dong Yong's father director could only agree again and again.

Subsequently, the director took Xiao Dongyong back to his home.

What's going on?

It turns out that in ancient times, unlike now, as long as you can afford the price, there are a lot of empty places in those cemeteries.

In ancient times, when people died, they generally wanted to be placed in ancestral graves.

For what?

Because, placed in the ancestral tomb, unless the family really has no descendants, it is inevitable that there will always be a supply of incense.

The life of the souls of the dead with the supply of incense and the souls of the dead without incense is absolutely two heavens of ice and fire.

The soul of the dead with the supply of incense means that if there is money to spend, what can be seen, but what about the soul of the dead without the supply of incense?

You can only look at it, there is no incense, there is no money to spend, how can these dead souls without the supply of incense be seen except to see?

Therefore, whether it is real life, or the underworld, whether it is in ancient times or now, the feeling of being rich...... That's nice!

However, the placement of the body in the ancestral grave requires a lot of etiquette.

Funeral rites are a special culture inherited from China for 5,000 years, and there are great differences in various regions, that is, some places are dozens of miles apart from each other, and some of the teachings and practices are also different. The following is just a popular etiquette in some parts of our country as an explanation.

Remains, if someone dies in someone else's home, then before moving the body, you must give someone a certain amount of money and apologize, even if the house belongs to the son-in-law's family, only when you die in the family of your immediate relatives do not need to give money (immediate relatives refer to sons, grandsons), and the money does not care how much. Nowadays, many people who have passed away are in the hospital, and generally the body does not need to be moved home, it is sent directly to the funeral home, and there is no question of who to give money, in short, the less the body moves, the better. When moving the body, the children directly under the body are generally next to comfort the body, for example: don't be afraid, everyone will send you to a new home, etc., depending on the person. If the deceased dies at home, then when the body is moved, it is necessary to summon the spirit, by taking a burning note, moving it on the surrounding walls, if the burning note is fixed in that place, indicating that the soul of the deceased is there, and then use the burning note to put away the soul, pass it out of the window, put it next to the body, and go to the cremation furnace with the body.

Paper flags, people with funerals, should use burning paper to paste and cut on the wooden stick, placed in front of the mourning hall, the wooden stick should use willow (what does it mean to have burning paper on the wooden stick?), and a burning paper is pasted on the door to represent the death of someone in the family (it should be the death of the man to burn the paper, and the woman to paste the white paper). Heavy filial sons cannot enter and leave the house freely, and all foreign affairs activities must be stopped. (For these, I asked a lot of people, but they didn't understand, and those who understand are welcome to correct)

The mourning hall is a temporary residence built for the deceased, and it is temporarily used by descendants or younger generations to pay homage and make offerings. Now that the standard of living has improved, the remains in the city are generally not kept at home, (in the countryside, most of them are still kept at home.) Put the statue in front of a table, and the statue is planted in front of a spiritual position, folded in white letters, and written on it, what is so-and-so, how old and how old he died, and so on. The table must be square, and then there are four things, these four things are "fish", "meat", "eggs", "noodles", and there must be fruits, but there can be peaches in the fruits (what are the meanings of the four dishes? The front is a furnace of incense, a lantern (the lamp should be made with a saucer, first find a saucer, pour peanut oil into it, and then rub a slender wick with cotton and ignite it, the cotton wick should be enough to burn for three days), the incense and the lantern can not be extinguished when it is lit, and it can only be extinguished when the body is removed or the spiritual position is taken away, and it cannot be extinguished by people, spontaneously combusted and self-extinguished. A jar is placed in front of the table, called a cornucopia (there is also a more vulgar name, called the old basin), and all the burned "money" is placed in this jar, which is broken at the time of the funeral, and the detailed time is broken at the moment when the coffin is lifted by "lifting weights".

Sending the plate field (it may be a sending plate, after all, it costs a lot of money to go to the underworld.) In the evening of the second day after his death, (there is also a third day, generally no more than three days), when seeing off, the eldest son holds the spiritual position, and the male directly under him takes a cane (that is, the wooden battle with burning paper mentioned above) to make the old man walk (must be on crutches with both hands and arch his waist forward). (If the deceased is a male elder, a female elder or a junior, I don't know what the etiquette is) the rest of the descendants follow him, whispering a prayer, calling the deceased to go and get the money, send it to the crossroads, and after burning the money, draw a circle to show that the wealth does not spill over. After the burning, the relatives walked home crying. After returning to the mourning hall, he continued to cry for his remains and spiritual position, at this time, the man was usually inside the house and the woman was outside. After continuing to the intersection just now, burning paper horses, (male elders burn paper horses, female elders burn paper cows, and younger generations don't know what to burn?) and then fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and then returned to the mourning hall in the order of coming.

Kneel and worship, in the mourning hall is generally kowtow four heads, the deceased children are around the spiritual seat, after the person comes, others kowtow a few heads, and the deceased children must respond to a few heads, the so-called representative of the elders to return the gift (generally the eldest grandson is the thank you, directly under the male and directly under the female. )。 I don't know how many kowtows in other places, there are three and four, the etiquette there is four kowtows, which means three gods and four ghosts, three kowtows to the gods, and four kowtows to the ghosts. It can also be not built, the place is generally relatively fixed, and each village has a fixed place. At this time, kowtow is generally the son-in-law of the deceased and the descendants of the deceased's in-laws, at this time it is a kowtow, kowtow four, is four diligent, and the children of the deceased also bow with the person who bows (generally grandson, nephew metabolism. Then take three steps, bow again, first raise the incense and spin in the air, and then toast three glasses (women don't know if that's the case.) ), and then take three steps back, one for four bows, kowtow for four, is four lazy. There are a total of nine before and after, which is in line with the saying of three bows and nine prostrations. When others went to prostrate, the son and grandson returned the salute, and the daughter wept bitterly at the table. The meaning of the four is to bow and bow, and the four lazy are to bow and bow to one, mixed with a meal in the middle, and the sunshine is called four Qin and four lazy to be separated.

Filial piety, filial piety is divided into heavy filial piety and light filial piety, heavy filial piety is directly subordinate to children, sons, daughters, grandchildren, etc., heavy filial piety for men with a tube of white coats, white shoes, women for white shirts with white pants, white shoes, grandchildren, sons if not married, only need to wrap their heads, if married, then need to wear a tube of white coats, heavy filial piety. Light filial piety is a son-in-law, a relative, and only needs a white cloth to wrap around the waist.

If it is a man who dies, the knot is on the left, if it is a woman, then the knot is on the right, provided that there is an elder alive, such as grandpa, grandma, grandpa died and grandma is still alive, then the knot is on the left, if the grandmother also dies in the future, then there is no need to tie the left, directly knot on the forehead, in the middle. Knowledgeable people generally understand who died and who else is in the family when they look at filial piety clothes and knots.

Funeral, son, daughter and grandson in front, it turned out to be holding the spiritual position, walking in front, behind is the person carrying the coffin, filial son, filial daughter, filial grandson walked forward for a while and turned around, kowtowed to the coffin, showing respect for the elders.

Burial is to put the coffin into a burial pit that has been dug before.

In ancient times, the funeral was very solemn, and the children or family members of the deceased generally needed to express their gratitude to the relatives and friends who participated in the funeral after the body was buried.

On the third day of the burial, the round tomb gets up early in the morning, goes to the round grave, and repairs the grave, because on the day of entering the earth, it is generally enough to add the entrance to the hole. The grave should be three days earlier and seven days later (why should it be three days earlier and seven days later?).

Circle the grave, that is, under the leadership of the eldest son, everyone surrounds the grave, holding a hook, turning left three times and right three times, which roughly means to encircle the wall for the deceased.

......。

Of course, there are many rituals.

However, no matter what, if a baby like Xiao Dongyong is asked to complete all the etiquette prescribed by those etiquettes, that ...... It seems to be a little unreasonable.

Therefore, it is appropriate to adopt the principle of subordination.

For many scenes that actually require Xiao Dong to salute forever, it is also a saving that can be saved.

However, no matter what, at the moment when Xiao Dongyong's mother is placed in the ancestral grave (that is, buried), even if Xiao Dongyong is still a small baby, it needs to appear.

For what?

Of course, Xiao Dong needs to bow forever.

The reason?

Because, only after Xiao Dong Yong's salute, it means that Dong Yong's mother Dong Gu has descendants, so it is in line with etiquette for Dong Yong's mother to be placed in the ancestral tomb, otherwise Dong Yong's mother is not in line with etiquette when placed in the ancestral tomb, it is easy to provoke gossip, and it is easy to cause other people's irresponsible remarks.
