Ancient burial methods

Burial, cremation, hanging coffin burial, tree burial, sky burial and cliff burial

The second burial is the second or more disposal of the remains after burial, cremation and wind burial. The Han and Zhuang nationalities in Taiwan Province, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in the south of China have been popular since ancient times. People are buried in coffins after death. When the corpse decays three to five years later, choose an auspicious day, open the coffin, collect the bones, rub them and dry them. Then put the neck, chest, waist and lower limbs into a special pottery urn in turn. Commonly known as "Golden Pagoda". This second burial, also called the second bone washing burial or the second bone picking burial, is still preserved in rural areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.
