What are the details of the burial?

When Han and Manchu people die, it is important to bury them with coffins and then with soil. It is considered that this kind of funeral form combining wood and soil is a courtesy and the best destination for the deceased.

Therefore, most residents living in Beijing have their own land, which has been inherited by generations. These lands are generally in the suburbs, and the quantity ranges from several thousand mu to several mu. Marked by the stone boundary tablet engraved with × House.

Pine and cypress were planted in the field, and some of them were built into earth mountains to strengthen geomantic omen. Once someone in the family dies, they are buried in their own graves according to their generations. If you have a title, you can build a treasure top if you are powerful enough; Ordinary people build graves for future generations to mourn.

There was a funeral at the master's house, and the grave-watching organization made a hole with manpower. Its acupoints are very particular. The graves of Han people are mostly horizontal, with ancestors in the middle and descendants extending horizontally to both sides.

The tombs of Manchu people are usually divided into three parts Julian and five parts Julian. The ancestral graves are in the middle, and a little is buried on both sides to form a figure of eight, which is called a winged goose. When the new burial is reburied, it is buried at the tail of the wing.

Every grave is buried by the husband and wife (if there is a second wife, it is also buried in it). Under normal circumstances, men hold Tang Ming's female handle (the left acupoint of a grave point is Tang Ming; The right point is the edge; The second string is buried on the right). In short, the location of the pit depends on the position of the deceased in the family.

Digging a hole after death is breaking ground, and you should follow the auspicious day given by the Kanyu family (Yin and Yang division). But this must have enough time to think about it. Generally, it is a sudden accumulation, and it is impossible to care about the good or bad of time.

As for the depth of the pit, it is determined according to the specifications of China material and whole material. The depth of the Han people's digging holes is five feet, seven feet and nine feet. (Six feet nine feet in Manchu)

When digging a hole, keep shoveling. When burying soil, the eldest son will lift the shovel soil and scatter it in the pit.

If the prince dies, it will not be a pit-digging project, but caves, stone gates, stone beds and treasure wells, called garden beds, which are similar to the underground palace of the Mausoleum.

Because of the huge project, generally speaking, when the coffin arrives at the cemetery, it stops in the Yang House on the ground for a while and is buried after the garden is completed. In particular, Fujin died before the Prince, and was buried together after the Prince Garden was repaired.

Burial is the last link of the funeral, and it is the last moment for the deceased to enjoy the sadness and glory. Not to mention nobles such as princes and county kings, even ordinary officials and ordinary people are extremely serious.
