What do you mean by the May 7th Tomb?

Question 1: How can I get to Yimeng Mountain-May 7th Tomb?

The May 7th Tomb, also known as Tomb No.35, is the last and most solemn mourning activity for the deceased couple in the whole funeral ceremony. Traditionally, it is held on the 35th day after death. However, in recent years, considering the simplification of procedures, it is generally held on an auspicious day within a few days after death. People attending the "memorial service" include all relatives within the "five clothes" of the deceased. As long as they are younger generations, younger brothers and sisters, they will hold a mourning ceremony for him. All relatives, friends and acquaintances of the deceased generally express their condolences in various ways. Some sent condolences and information, some sent wreaths, some wrote elegiac couplets, and most close friends sent tributes such as burning paper, incense, candles and platinum paper.

The most solemn ceremony of the May 7th Tomb is to give the deceased a paste gift-furniture made of various colored papers, such as boxes, cash cows, treasure boxes and so on. In recent years, cars, refrigerators, small buildings, high-end speakers, etc. What has been popular in recent years are all the most popular wedding necessities in the world, all for the dead, and the production technology is becoming more and more exquisite and realistic. The most mysterious thing is the animals in childbirth: paper men (golden couples or policemen), a pair of cocks and galloping horses, all of which are necessary. Paper keeps people safe, chickens are lucky, and horses run fast. These three animals must be "lit" before the memorial ceremony and the fire, that is, the blood on the comb of a rooster is taken out on the spot and smeared on the lips of these animals, indicating that they are spiritual and can go to heaven.

There were all kinds of furniture, daily necessities and wreaths at the huge farewell party. After the ceremony, all the tributes except the wreath were lit, and the flames were soaring and the crying was loud. The scene was very touching. ...

After going to the "May 7th Tomb", everything can really be arranged for the deceased, and the family can restore their status as "normal people". Family members who have been bereaved before are unlucky "sinners". Generally, except for relatives within three clothes, they will not visit other people's homes. After the grave sweeping on May 7th, everything will return to normal. However, you must personally express your condolences and gratitude to the family of the gift, and personally send a thank-you letter. The format of the thank-you letter is very particular, and the name of the thanks person (the descendants of the deceased) is written on it. The following ways to thank the deceased vary according to their lineal or cohabiting relationship.

Parent-child exchange "blood and tears for mourning", which means crying till bleeding. Pima Dai Xiao came to the door and knelt down.

Nephew kowtowed with "Cry", which means Lacrimosa, and kowtowed to thank him.

The pro-grandson said with "covering his tears and kowtowing", which means standing and covering his tears to thank him.

Uncle and grandson use "bow", which means standing and bowing.

In principle, thank-you letters should be sent, otherwise it is disrespectful to others.

Question 2: What's so important about going to the grave on May 7th? The 35th day after death is called May 7th, and the100th day is called Hundred Days. At that time, all filial families will go to the grave to sacrifice. Usually, when you go to the grave on May 7 and 100, the former is advanced and the latter is postponed, which is called "100 days long and the latter is shorter than May 7". Zhoucun usually goes to the grave for sacrifice in the middle of the night. When sweeping the "May 7th Tomb", the relatives of the deceased should carry paper bundles and offerings such as Jinyinshan, cash cow and cornucopia for sacrifice.

According to local legend, "May 7th" is the end of all sacrificial activities of the deceased. On this day, the King Wu of the Temple of Hades will finally investigate whether the deceased will go to hell to suffer, or be reborn and reincarnated. These five Yan kings are very strict and selfless. The only weakness is that he has no daughter as an adult, so he is generally more tolerant of people who have daughters. If he hears the cry of the deceased's daughter during the final review, he will let the deceased go. Therefore, on May 7th, when a girl dies, the girl has the custom of crying at the grave in the morning.

May 7th is a very important day, so don't advance or postpone it.

We are more concerned here, but we can ask the opinions of the elderly at home, and the mourning hall will not let go. If we don't pay much attention, please take out the urn (remember to take an umbrella and never see the sun), find the coffin that burned paper on the day of cremation (the funeral home has a special memorial place with 12 genus), and put the urn under the photo frame of the deceased before his death (it can be covered with red cloth or yellow cloth) and put it under it before his death. Those who like drinking and smoking can bring their own brands. After the memorial ceremony (burning paper) began, they lit cigarettes and poured three glasses of wine. The first two cups were poured into the circle drawn before burning paper, and the last cup was left in front of the coffin. You should talk to the old man and cry. In addition to children, it is best for close relatives and friends to come to pay homage to the deceased.

If you are very particular, add three or four items you mentioned, such as setting up a mourning hall, setting the table in the mourning hall, pouring wine and tea, setting up washing water and foot washing water in the room where you lived before your death, and putting away the clothes you wore before your death in the bed where you slept before your death-in short, preparing for his last night's rest. In the afternoon 10, the summoning ceremony began (for fear that he forgot to go home). The eldest son climbed onto the roof of the mourning hall with a lantern (for fear that he could not see the road clearly at night), raised three tiles and shouted "Dad, come back ~ ~" to the night sky. The others knelt in a row on the stairs, crying and screaming. It is suggested that regardless of the old habits, May 7th should be regarded as July 7th, that is, it should be unified, but April 7th should not be.

The most important death dates: the first seven days, the fifth seven days (July 7) and the hundredth day.

The next three days: Qingming (early Qingming), 11th (late November of the lunar calendar), and Memorial Day.

You can burn paper at home on the 30th, and go to the cemetery on the New Year's Eve or the fifth day.

Question 4: What's so particular about the tomb of Shangwuqi in Shandong? (Forget it from Baidu. ) There are 20 points for paper binding, and there are special paper binding, mainly daily necessities, from buildings to cars to pots and pans, which are all made of paper and then burned.

Question 5: How to calculate the time of May 7th graves? Going to the grave on May 7th means going to the grave to burn paper 35 days (actually 34 days) after the death of a relative. Generally, it is selected after 10 am and before 12 am.

Question 6: How can offering sacrifices to the dead on the seventh day, the third day, the fifth day and the seventh day be regarded as an ancient funeral custom? The coffin should be kept for at least three days. It is said that I hope the dead can come back to life. If you can't be resurrected within three days, your hopes will be completely dashed. In fact, it takes a long time to stop the funeral, because the funeral at that time was very complicated, especially for emperors, who needed huge graves and a lot of funerary objects, which required a lot of manpower and time. After modern times, coffins are generally buried after the "final seven". According to tradition, people don't know that they are dead until seven days after death, so a "seven-day ceremony" will be held, and "July 7th" will end in forty-nine days. In fact, this is mainly influenced by Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism believes that in addition to committing heinous crimes and going to hell immediately, people with many virtues will ascend to heaven immediately, and their souls generally cannot be reincarnated immediately. The undead without metempsychosis is not a ghost, but a body in the process from death to metempsychosis, waiting for the opportunity of metempsychosis to mature. Therefore, if filial piety or relatives and friends can ask the monk to do some Buddhist services for him seven times after his death, the deceased can be reincarnated in a better place. Therefore, Buddhism advocates that it is best to cross over the undead during the July 7th period. If after the July 7th period, the category of the deceased's afterbirth has been finalized, and Buddhist practice will only increase his blessing, but will not change the category of afterbirth. If a person has done a lot of evil before his death, he is destined to keep animals in his next life. When he died on July 7th, if his filial relatives and friends did a big Buddha thing for him, so that he could hear the monk chanting, repent now and be a good person, he could be saved from animals and reborn as a human being. Taoism also believes that it is best to turn over the dead before his "seven spirits" are exhausted. There are many specific etiquette during the period of "doing seven", which are practiced everywhere. In some places, the fifth seven days of the old funeral custom must be returned by married women, and the cost of this day is entirely borne by married women. If the deceased has no married woman, it will be done by a married niece or grandniece. The first seven days, the last seven days and the last seven days after death are called "Big Seven". There is a custom of "walking seven times" in this day's memorial service, that is to say, in this day's memorial service, the married daughter and daughter-in-law each carry lanterns and race like kites in the prescribed ceremony to get the first one to run home, commonly known as "fighting for heroes", thinking that the soul of the deceased can protect well-being. Because people think that although people are dead, the soul still has feelings like the living. Wearing mourning clothes-children and grandchildren mourn after the death of the old man', the direct descendants and daughter-in-law should each make a mourning dress, shoes and hats, and wear them until Xie Xiaori. After the burial, there are three days to pay homage to the grave, seven days short, three periods of 21 days (also called "Sanqi"), five periods of 35 days, and seven or forty-nine days off. One hundred days, the birthday of the deceased, filial piety to the grave. The term is the anniversary. It took three years to change into mourning. The so-called three-year filial piety is over. Modern cooking is simpler than traditional cooking, but many people still burn some paper in the funeral home on the "big day" to show their respect. The old people said that in the first seven days, people's souls were still floating around, always watching their hometown on the homesickness platform. In the middle of the first seven nights, their relatives burned a ladder-like thing next to their chimney, called "ladder". Only by burning this ladder can the soul follow it to heaven. Although this is just heartless, we should trust our relatives, even if they are superstitious. Who wants to let their loved ones be wronged in this matter?

The first seven, China people's funeral custom, is based on the time of the deceased's death, plus heavenly stems and earthly branches to calculate the date and hour, but everyone used to think that "the first seven" refers to the seventh day after death. Different places have different "first seven" customs. But it is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will go home in the first seven days.
