Query the cremation date in the yellow calendar

The funeral custom of China people is based on the time of death of the deceased and the date and time calculated by heavenly stems and earthly branches. However, everyone habitually thinks that "the first seven days" refers to the seventh day after death. Different places have different "first seven" customs, but it is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will go home in the first seven days, and the family should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before it comes back, and then they must avoid it. The best way is to sleep. If they can't sleep, they should hide under the bed. If the soul of the deceased sees his family, it will make him miss it and affect his reincarnation. It is also said that before the "first seven days" after death, people's souls will wander around. When they go home at noon on the first seven days, their families should burn a ladder-shaped thing at home and let their souls rise to the sky along this ladder. Why doesn't your father have a home? You'd better live where you are going to die!
