Ancient burial custom, why can't the coffin land during handling? What will happen after landing?

This is just a traditional custom, and it is also a local custom in various places. Like southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, it is also popular to carry coffins for burial. When you first left the village, you put down the coffin. Rumor has it that the coffin was heavy and the deceased was homesick. Stop the coffin, let the relatives of the deceased cry for a while, and then continue to carry the coffin to the cemetery.

Some places say it is not good to carry a coffin once, and some places are purely folk customs, with no consequences!

In the real funeral culture, the custom of carrying coffins at funerals is that coffins touch the ground and are buried underground. As the saying goes, coffins are not allowed to touch the ground before they reach the burial place and time. Why is there such a rule? The reason is that in traditional culture, the dead can't touch the earth and air after burial.

Because the earth gas is the road to the underworld, contact with the earth gas is equivalent to opening the door to the dead world it contacts, and the soul will stay where it contacts the ground and will not move forward. If there is no special way to bring it back, it will become a lonely soul. Earth-qi is the entrance to the dead world, and normally it will enter the dead world from the burial place.

The coffin did not reach the burial place and touched the soil, which means that the deceased can only be buried in this place, because the coffin has touched the ground and absorbed the atmosphere. It is where the dead belong and where they are buried. The ancients were very particular about some situations, and the funeral process was very complicated. There are strict rules for every step and exercise.

The rule of carrying coffins is that eight people carry coffins under normal circumstances. If the journey is too long and it is difficult to walk, they will be divided into several groups to carry the coffin in turn. In some places, elders take the initiative to arrange coffin lifting, and another is to actively sign up for coffin lifting. However, in either case, in the process of lifting the coffin, the coffin should not be allowed to fall to the ground until it reaches its destination. Even if you are tired, you will pad the coffin with a wooden stool to avoid touching the ground.

When carrying the coffin, Qi Xin will cooperate in the difficult way, but at the same time, firecrackers should be set off to clear the way, which means to remove those things that are in the way. In fact, throwing paper money is to buy money for things that get in the way along the road, which means that the deceased can pass safely and smoothly by throwing money. It is very unlucky for a coffin to land halfway, but everything has accidents.

Once the coffin falls to the ground, but the feng shui is not good or people can't be buried, then take a lump of soil from the place where the coffin falls and put it on the coffin, take it to the burial place and scatter it in the grave. This represents the favorite place where the deceased was buried. In fact, the allusion that the coffin can't land originated from Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhuge Liang asked to tie the coffin with hemp rope before he died, and four people were carried out. When the hemp rope broke, the coffin was buried on the ground. At that time, Zhuge Liang's boss was worried that four people would cut corners, so he replaced it with a rope with iron wire inside. The rope was very strong and could not be broken in a short time, even if all four people were exhausted.

So the four men carried Zhuge Liang to a deserted place and buried him regardless of the broken rope. Then they went back to work and were killed directly after being seen by the big boss. From then on, no one knew that Zhuge Liang was buried, which became the source of carrying the coffin without landing and burying it on the ground.

Generally speaking, you can't lift the coffin to the ground. You see some people are tired and need a rest, so you must put something under them. Why are you doing this?

This is the requirement of feng shui. Generally, it is the burial place, cemetery, time, direction, etc. of the deceased. Are valued by feng shui masters. Everything on the Jin Mu, the five elements of fire, water and earth, must be interrelated or integrated with the dead. If it landed, it means that the deceased may have occupied two customs, especially the first customs, which is where it landed for the first time. The feng shui here is good, but that's all.

The body of the deceased is buried underground. As long as it touches the earth, it will grow, and there are two kinds of hair, one is well developed and the other is stunted, so the coffin can't land. If so, it will be sent here. No matter how good feng shui is, it doesn't work after burial!

The memory of carrying a coffin as a child is still so clear.

Clearly, one thing is certain. It is not impossible to land when transporting the coffin to the funeral. On the contrary, it stops landing many times on the way, so that the seriously injured can rest, change the elevator and check the terrain. As the saying goes, five miles are different, and ten miles change rules. Really,

Each of us will land here once, but the location is exquisite, not at the crossroads, not at the door of others' homes, not at the door of others' cemeteries, but on the spacious and flat road, all relatives, relatives and dutiful sons will pay their respects as soon as possible! Sacrifice for the road! After the road sacrifice, distant relatives and friends can leave and stop going to the cemetery. Those who go to the grave to worship are close relatives, called Shanglin! When buried, the family of the deceased or the nephew of his father-in-law will give each "busy man" who helps the funeral two boxes of cigarettes! Filial piety flatters "busy people" as soon as possible!

There will be no consequences.
