Why is it that at some funerals, the troupe is invited to take the stage to sing a big play?

In his hometown in North China Plain, a 92-year-old man passed away in the form of "all his life", which was a great event in the local area. Many people from Shiliba Township in Fiona Fang specially came to watch the excitement. Although the relatives of the deceased are sad, they are not sad. Because the old man died a natural death, and his family had already prospered, and he died of a 92-year-old age. This is a funeral.

Although, I don't think anyone would want to die unless death itself is an irreversible natural law for everyone, I think most people would like to die in this way if they can choose.

In many places, on the day of weddings and funerals, family members will specially invite theatrical troupes to sing big plays on the stage, and not all the songs are sorrows and sorrows. If an unfamiliar person hears this, he will think that this is a happy event, not a funeral.

this is the so-called "white matter red office".

This is the case in some areas of northern Shaanxi. When the old people are alive, they will think that their longevity is due to "enough sin". After their death, they will be called "going up the mountain", which means "going to the fairy mountain", and then the funeral will be "red-handed". However, if the old man has suffered from illness, he will be nursed back to health, but he is unwilling to operate and open a knife again. < P > He only wants to die calmly in the midst of illness, which is called "dying well". Old people's attitude towards life and death seems to be more open-minded. These statements will sound like listening to the story of "Tang Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures in the West" in The Journey to the West.

In Sichuan, after the death of some elderly people with high longevity, the host family will specially prepare a "longevity bowl" to give to the guests who come to mourn, which means to share their longevity with the guests.
