The perfect rich man in the city

Zhong Jing and the others did not follow him, but the other elders in the family followed him.

And the rest of the people decorated the mourning hall.

There is no need for Zhong Jing and the others to do this kind of thing.

There were many people watching.

Many people came to help.

Some people can't even get involved.

The main colors of traditional funerals are white and yellow, so they are also called white events, as opposed to red events (happy events).

Depending on the deceased's beliefs and financial situation, the whole process is often accompanied by relevant Buddhist, Taoist or Feng Shui rituals.

The main processes are as follows: Small coffin: cleansing and reshaping the body and putting on a shroud. This step should be done as early as possible, sometimes even before breathing out. Because after a few hours, due to the death of muscle cells, a stiffness of the limbs called rigor mortis will occur, which affects wearing a shroud.

The shroud cannot be made of leather because tradition believes that the deceased will be reincarnated as an animal.

The second step is to report the death: formally informing relatives and friends near and far about the time, circumstances and funeral arrangements of the death.

There are often strict situation and sequence regulations.

Now there are elders of the Zhong family who ask questions, print them out, and then have people deliver letters to those who need to come to express condolences.

For example, Father Zhong’s uncle, etc.

All are eligible to participate.

Zhong Jing's uncle also had to come to attend the funeral.

For funerals, relatives and friends come from other places to attend the funeral, bringing gifts, gifts, elegiac couplets, wreaths, etc.

Pause for mourning, also known as temporary residence, is where the corpse is parked in the mourning hall for a few days, waiting for relatives and friends who come to mourn; it also helps to confirm death rather than being in coma and suspended animation. The mourning hall can be a room at home, a temporary mourning shed, or a dedicated room in a funeral parlor. The mourning hall contains mourning banners, portraits of the deceased, food (offerings), incense, candles, paper money, etc. for the deceased. In addition, when the deceased cannot be formally buried for the time being, leaving the coffin in a temple or other place to wait for future burial can also be called coffin coffin.

During the wake and rest period, relatives and friends who are already present, especially the deceased's elders, take turns guarding the deceased in the mourning hall and accept the condolences of the mourners. During the entire funeral, the deceased's close relatives (called filial sons/daughters) wear white burlap clothes or gowns with no hems, tied with straw ropes or hemp ropes around their waists, and wear straw sandals on their feet, which are called filial piety clothes.

Nowadays they are all cloth shoes.

Zhong Jing wears this kind of cloth shoes sewn with white cloth.

Zhong Jing doesn't understand these things, but don't say anything or ask anything.

Just listen.

Big coffin: In front of the family members, the coffin covered with mattresses is placed, covered with quilts, and nails are nailed to seal the coffin. Wealthy families may have two layers: an inner coffin and an outer coffin for burial objects.

Funeral and burial: bury the coffin. The beginning of the funeral is marked by the dutiful son breaking an earthen basin, which is called"breaking the basin". Led by the filial son holding a"soul-inducing flag", a band played and played, and paper money was distributed along the way to the cemetery. The burial ceremony was assisted by a Feng Shui master.

Burning Seven: After the burial, relatives and friends visit the cemetery every seven days and burn paper money, for a total of seven visits for a total of forty-nine days. There are also similar activities such as soul calling and paper money burning, which are called"doing seven". The ceremony on the forty-ninth day is called"Broken Seven" and is the end of the formal funeral part.

Wuqi: On the thirty-fifth day in the north, the tradition is called Wuqi. The daughter makes a paper gourd and serves a bowl of noodles, which is commonly known as Wuqi Unlocking. Folk belief says that the deceased must be locked in a certain place before May 7th. The lock must be unlocked for the deceased, and then the deceased can cross the river on a gourd to go to the Western Paradise.

Observing filial piety: According to Confucian tradition, a filial son should guard the tombs of his parents for three years. Everyone basically does not leave the arms of his parents before he is three years old. During these three years, he expresses gratitude for his parents' kindness. This is how many villages are born. During this period, entertainment, Drinking alcohol, eating meat, having sex with husband and wife, etc.

But now there is no such rule as keeping filial piety.

Now the country advocates diligence and thrift, and puts an end to all extravagance and waste.

So a lot of things are no longer needed.

The rules have also changed.

In front of the state machine, even the underworld has to change its rules.

Tablet: Family members use incense and candle offerings to worship the tablet with the name of the deceased.

Tomb Sweeping: Relatives and friends repair and clean the cemetery during the Qingming Festival (Jie Zhitui died on this day)

······

Zhong Jing didn't care about other things and just kept kneeling.

Two fine coffins were brought and placed on the mourning hall.

After the hearse returns, place the urn inside.

After everyone got the news, they sent messages of concern.

After the date was determined, Zhong Jing also posted a message on Moments, explaining the date of the funeral.

After everyone got the news, they headed to Zhongzhou City.

Suddenly, the airport and highway intersections in Zhongzhou City suddenly became busy.

Especially at airports, many people have private jets.

They called the leaders of the airport one after another.

Even No. 1 and No. 2 made arrangements.

Just for Zhong Jing's sake, I want to express my condolences.

I am also grateful for Zhong Jing’s contribution to the country.

It is the most cherished appreciation.

Plus not eating, just mourning, it won't take long.

Some of the second-generation people took private planes, and some drove over directly.

Vast and vast.
