Is there any taboo to carry a coffin?

Taboo for carrying coffins: Don't say "heavy". There is a tradition of carrying coffins in the countryside. My father was invited to carry coffins several times in the past. It is taboo to say "heavy". If you say it carelessly, it is likely to lead to misfortune. The coffin will become 1000 kilograms, making it more difficult to carry it, or the coffin will fall, causing great disaster. I remember that once my father came back from carrying a coffin and pulled his back, and he never said a word. Sometimes things are really weird.

Funeral taboo: When a funeral is held, grieving relatives often crawl to the ground in pain. At this moment, we must be careful not to let tears drop on the dead, so that the dead will not leave, and their souls will not ascend to heaven, so they can only stay in the funeral home. Seriously, they may even be reincarnated because of their obsession.

Appearance taboo: when an elder in the family has passed away, it is forbidden to cut hair and shave at this moment. Of course, many people often forget these trivial things in extreme grief. There is no such thing as cutting hair and shaving, which is easy to provoke ghosts. At this time, you should also pay attention to your clothes, mainly plain and black, and never wear red clothes. At least, luck will decline, bad luck will haunt us, and worst of all, evil spirits will die of possession.

Personnel taboo: people attending the funeral must pay attention to avoid the zodiac, five-element constellation and pregnant women of the deceased. These conflicting attributes will bring bad things to the dead and the living, and pregnant women can easily bring bad effects to their babies because of Dai Xiao's fierce infection.

Time taboo: China always talks about auspicious days, so do funerals. Some people are weak and sick since childhood because they were born in the lunar year, and the funeral will change a lot because of the time. For example, funerals in July are easy to attract ghosts, so try to avoid this time. In some places, it is forbidden to go out at noon, and attention should be paid to choosing the time to disembark.

Taboo for burial: When burying, the dutiful son should dig three hoes first, in order to "open a hole", and the bottom of the tomb should be flat, otherwise it will harm the children and grandchildren, and the mouth of the deceased cannot be empty. Ancient emperors contained jade, while ordinary people contained rice balls. Avoid wrapping the body of the deceased with animal hair such as fur, which is not conducive to reincarnation and family resentment. At the same time, avoid water and filth in the tomb, otherwise it will bring bad luck and avoid being buried in two days or doubling the disaster.
