Funerals are always held. Why do Han people pay attention to their parents' health, while Tibetans believe in returning to nature?

I think it is mainly historical thoughts, life concepts and religious beliefs that have influenced the different funeral ceremonies of people of all ethnic groups. In the cultures of all ethnic groups in China, in ancient times, there was a saying that "the body was skinned by parents and suffered, so it did not dare to hurt, so filial piety began." It means that a person's body, limbs, hair and skin are all obtained from parents, and they are part of their parents' bodies, and they dare not be insulted or damaged. This is the beginning of filial piety. This sentence is rich in meaning, and the ancients had many ideas about it. Protecting the body from harm is the first step of filial piety.

Because children are the continuation of parents' lives, and parents are most worried about their children's health. Health is the foundation of life. Without health, there is nothing. So learn to cherish your body, don't spoil it, and always pay attention to your life safety. We must strictly abide by morality, abide by the law and discipline, and be unpunished. This can ensure the health and safety of the body. Therefore, the funeral of the Han nationality is very particular, and the whole body is required to be complete when buried.

As a unique culture in Tibetan areas, Tibetan funeral customs are closely related to the whole natural environment and cultural background. Tibetan culture is called snow culture, which has transcendental uniqueness. Although Tibetans live in the sparsely populated Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tibetan culture is not an isolated culture. In the 7th century, during the period of Songtsan Gampo, Buddhism was introduced into Tibet from the Central Plains and India. After a fierce collision with Tibetan local culture, Tibetan culture with Tibetan Buddhism as the main body has gradually formed. Moreover, before and after the formation of Tibetan culture, Buddhist culture, Chinese culture and other national cultures have never stopped infiltrating and integrating it, and with the unique geographical location of Tibetans, today's unique Tibetan culture has gradually formed. Tibetans believe in Buddhism, and they firmly believe that death is only the process of one world entering another, and it is only the destruction of the human body. Man's life in the body is short, and only the soul without the body has eternal life. So Tibetans believe that returning to nature after death is the liberation of the soul.

The emergence and inheritance of a funeral custom in the form of folk ceremony is not accidental and inexplicable. Because it can satisfy the political, ethical and psychological functions of the nation, it is bound to be accepted and followed by the society.
