Who knows the funeral customs in Zhangjiakou, Hebei?

Funeral is also called "mourning", "coffin" and "mourning", that is, sending the coffin underground for burial.

After a few days of memorial service, the coffin will be buried.

The date of the funeral was chosen by Mr. Yin Yang. If it is difficult to find the auspicious day of the zodiac for a while, or the tomb has not been repaired, it is necessary to temporarily find a temple to put the coffin, which means "funeral" or "stop burial".

According to the general practice, the day before the funeral, "opening wine", also known as "opening hanging", is not only for relatives and friends to pay homage to the deceased, but also for family members to bid farewell to the deceased. At the same time, I moved my family to today. On that day, the funeral home hosted a banquet to reward relatives and friends. After the death of a long-lived person, people often "steal" bowls at dinner, saying that they can live longer. That night, the mourner invited Sichuan opera "Friends" to sit and sing at home, playing until late at night, even all night, commonly known as "mourning". This can not only adjust the sadness these days, but also show the excitement of the funeral. Funeral scenes vary from the rich to the poor. The poor family only has filial sons and some close relatives, who coldly carry coffins to the cemetery. Rich people hired drummers, which was very lively. At the funeral, first sprinkle cock blood around the coffin and stick chicken feathers on the front of the coffin. The rooster was placed on the coffin, 16 people carried the coffin, followed by ceremonial ceremonies and drum music, followed by a sedan chair engraved with inscriptions, memorial tablets and portraits. The dutiful son leaned over a "funeral stick" and walked slowly in front of the coffin. The funeral stick is only more than two feet long, and it is made of white paper cut into flowers and stuck on a bamboo pole. Relatives and friends send funerals, or return halfway, or close the cemetery. Another person is carrying a lantern, and another person is carrying a basket of paper money, which is commonly known as "ghost money" while walking. The funeral procession lit incense sticks through bridges and temples, and some relatives and friends also set up incense table road sacrifices on the roadside.

After the coffin was carried to the cemetery, the Taoist priest did things and used a compass to determine the direction. Please ask the Yin and Yang teachers to choose the cemetery, and some of them were chosen during their lifetime. The old custom holds that the quality of geomantic omen in cemetery will directly affect the rise and fall of future generations. After digging the grave, the Taoist priest did another thing, burning cypress branches and paper money to the end. Then sprinkle realgar wine, and the dutiful son knelt down and kowtowed. Put the coffin down. The dutiful son first put a pinch of earth on the coffin, then covered the grave with earth, set up a stone tablet, put the handkerchief on his head and came back. In Mianyang and other places, "stepping on the spot" is still popular. After the grave was built, when the gold couple and the paper house were burned, the young people among the relatives of the deceased ran around the fire and the grave three times, then picked a cypress branch, ran home and inserted it into the incense burner. It is said that whoever runs fastest will be the happiest in the future.
