Which country did the black man transport the coffin from?

"Black people carrying coffins" comes from Ghana, a country located in western Africa.

The ancient Ghana civilization was born in the 3rd ~ 4th century. This country with a long history has its own unique funeral culture and customs. Ghanaians believe that death is not a sad thing. On the contrary, death symbolizes new life and represents a new starting point of reincarnation.

Based on this belief, Ghanaians believe that funeral ceremonies should be more lively and happy. So a "professional team" similar to video came into being. Several black brothers in the video belong to a local funeral company. They started a novel ceremony of "coffin-carrying dance", which was loved by many local people.

Therefore, when many people do funerals, some people will find a team to do such a link. In fact, it is an African custom for black people to carry coffins. Dancing funerals are widely circulated in West African countries. Funeral is a large social occasion in Ghana, which is famous for its exquisite wooden coffins.

Of course, playing with stalks belongs to playing with stalks, but I hope everyone will respect the custom of funeral in Ghana. After all, in China, there are actually sayings like "funerals are easy to handle" and "weddings and funerals", and some ethnic minorities also have the custom of dancing at funerals.

For example, Tujia people have mourning drums, Wa people have "spring mortar dance" and so on ... because people all believe that death is the starting point rather than the end point, and people's lives will usher in a new beginning in a reincarnation.
