In fact, burial is not only about burying the dead underground, but more importantly, it embodies the significance of safety. Let's take a look at the meaning of burial in the old almanac terminology.

What do you mean, buried?

Burial: funeral, burial ceremony, etc.

Types of burial

Cliff burial, hanging coffin burial, sky burial, tower burial, water burial, cremation, high coffin burial and wind burial.

Burial process

Burial is a series of processes of moving the coffin or urn from the burial place to the cemetery, burying the coffin according to time, not earlier than sunrise, but later than sunset, and then sealing the tomb board or covering the soil to make the tomb head. The ceremony of moving the coffin is called a funeral. Before putting the urn in the cemetery, put the favorite small items of the deceased in it. If the deceased had a separate photo before his death, put it in the urn. If one of the husband and wife dies first, put other small items that he used to use before his death into the urn. Red bamboo stone ornaments should be placed in male urns, and purple ice silver ornaments should be placed in female urns.

Matters needing attention during burial

(1): Before burying our ancestors, if Shi Yang's descendants believe in the theory of void law, they must find their trusted Tangkou master, do a good job in geomantic geography investigation and auspicious burial. The geomantic omen of Yin House, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has a long history and occupies an extremely important position in the void law circle. A good dragon cave thrives, and you can be blessed when you are buried and ugly; If a rotten den is buried in one day, the disaster will last for thousands of years. Yin house geomantic omen must be handled carefully, and must not be done. Will be buried at will, and in the end, not only will the ancestors not rest in peace, but future generations will also be unlucky again and again.

(2) When burying ancestors, "hot burial" is strictly prohibited. Regardless of the age of the ancestors and the cause of death, it is best to bury them properly within 12 to 72 hours after death. The older they are, the longer they should be parked. For example, words like "big three days" and "small three days" often mean this. In case of special circumstances, such as the death of guests, descendants did not return. One more thing to say here is that if it is not a special case, it is best not to put the ice coffin after the death of the ancestors, because at this time, the deceased ancestors belonged to the yin period, and some thinking consciousness still exists. Putting the body into the ice coffin rashly will easily lead the ancestors to fall into the ice hell and the hungry ghost road.

(3): When burying ancestors, they should be buried as soon as possible. If you have ancestors with special beliefs, you can also carry out celestial burial and water burial. In today's society, not only the real estate prices of the living soar, but also the cemeteries of the dead are very expensive. Especially people living in big cities, because it is difficult to find a suitable cemetery after death, they need to temporarily store their ashes in funeral homes, crematoriums and other places. Here, I suggest that all descendants of Shi Yang, under the premise of their own conditions, take "burying their ancestors as soon as possible" as a surefire policy and make great contributions.

(4): When burying ancestors, regardless of burial or cremation, we should "sunshade" and "call the mountain to evoke the soul". "Umbrella shading" means that during burial, the remains and ashes of ancestors can't be directly seen by the sun, so future generations should play a black umbrella or shed to shade them, so as to prevent the sun from exposing the remains of ancestors and causing them to faint. "Calling the mountain to summon the soul" means that later generations should shout the names, birthdays and death sacrifices of their ancestors before burial, so as to help their souls return to their places and settle in the mausoleum.

(5): Before burying ancestors, we must warm the kang in the grave, not cool the cave, and not be seen by sunlight, moonlight and starlight. Dig the grave, set up the earth dragon, put the seven stars, and we will burn the kang money in the grave, and then bury it after burning it. Above the dug grave, you should also use a black umbrella or shed to block the sun, moonlight and starlight.

(6): No living footprints, handprints, figures, etc. Will stay in the grave before the ancestors are buried. If you accidentally leave fingerprints and footprints of a living person, you should immediately smooth the traces with paper money before burying them. More importantly, the figure of the living can't be reflected in graves and coffins, so as to avoid the collision of gas fields, and the dead will crush the living, leading to constant snoring.

(7): When burying ancestors, pregnant women, parturients and zodiac criminals must avoid evil spirits. This is also taboo at the funeral of ancestors. The core of life, Bei Chong and Liu Hong, are the principal offenders respectively. The core of life is the monument, that is, the living people who are the same as their ancestors' zodiac signs must turn around and avoid when their ancestors dress, bury and open their graves; Liuhong, a living person who is six years older than his ancestors and many times older than his ancestors, also needs to turn around to avoid evil under the above circumstances.

(8): After the ancestors are buried again, everyone can't turn back when they go home. In order to avoid seeing things that should not be seen, especially those offspring who are weak and have supernatural constitution, it is forbidden to look back.

(9): After the ancestors are buried, everyone must wash their hands and look in the mirror before going home. After washing your hands, you must look in the mirror, so that discouragement, bad luck and suffocation will not interfere with the living.
