How to solve the wedding funeral?

How did those who got married in ancient times deal with funerals?

Marriage is very meaningful in a person's life, and it is also a top priority. Historically, the ancients also attached great importance to marriage. Similarly, the ancients also attached great importance to funeral. It is worth mentioning that the ancients paid more attention to death than to rebirth, because people believed that after death, his life was over, and the deceased must be allowed to walk in style, even now.

There is a question that everyone must have thought about, that is, what if someone encounters a funeral on the way to marriage? The first reaction must be bad luck. In actual history, such things rarely happen. China people have a tradition that no matter what they do, they should choose a date. The natural choice for marriage is an auspicious day, not a funeral. Every place has different choices.

You can choose a date at will, or even postpone it for a year. Often people can only choose the nearest place after death. In most places, they will be buried in a few days, unless it is really not suitable for burial that day, they will postpone it by one day. It is rare for married people to encounter funeral, but it is not without it. The family of the deceased may not feel anything when such a thing happens, but the newlyweds must be very sympathetic. How did the ancients handle this kind of thing?

First of all, some people in the ancients would make preparations on the road in advance to prevent accidents. If this happens, the first thing to do is to change the route immediately so that the two sides don't meet together to avoid bad luck. If it is really inevitable to meet, there are different solutions. Some places make way for funerals, after all, people are in the wedding period, and some places make way for marriage. They say you can't rob people. And put red cloth in the middle of the road to separate the road. There is a rule in history that the reception team can make a detour and never turn around. Today, this habit still exists in most places.

In history, the ancients were very clever. Usually at this time, the bride and groom will be told that they will see both "official" and "wealth" on the wedding day, and the couple will be blessed in the future. Usually, the bride throws money from the sedan chair to avoid bad luck. This rule has also been retained now. In many places, drivers will throw the change out of the window when they meet the funeral procession.

This kind of thing rarely happens, but it doesn't mean it won't happen. These are the general measures of the ancients. The first is to avoid, and the second is to throw money on the road to avoid bad luck. The customs in different regions in history are different, and the nature handed down is also different. I don't know how your hometown handles this matter.
