Why do you throw pottery bowls before a funeral in the countryside? Why must it be broken?

China is a traditional country, and its folk customs have been passed down for many years. People used to throw clay pots before funerals, and the more broken they were, the louder they became. This is because the folk custom says that the more broken the pottery bowl is, the faster the deceased will walk. They can report to the underworld as soon as possible and take away their pottery bowls, and the gold ingots and incense sticks will not be broken, leaving more and more property to future generations to ensure the family's peace from generation to generation.

1. The more broken the earthen basin, the more smoothly the deceased can cross the Naihe Bridge.

The custom of throwing clay pots originated from the people. Usually before the funeral, the family will be asked to throw clay pots for the dead. Some people say that the more broken the pottery bowl, the louder it sounds, which is to show the way to the dead. Lead the deceased to cross Naihe Bridge smoothly, don't let him drink Meng Po Tang, forget all the grievances in his previous life, end this relationship, look forward to being born as soon as possible, and wait for the next reincarnation. ?

2. The more broken the earthen basin is, the louder it is, which shows that the dead people have constant treasures and incense.

Many young people don't understand this folk custom now. It used to be said that the more broken and loud the pottery bowl was, the more the dead kept burning incense in the underworld. Relatives left us, and yin and yang were separated from each other. He was there alone. This pottery basin represents a pot for eating. He won't starve to death if he takes it to the grave, and it smells good. In fact, this is a yearning and sustenance of the living for the dead, hoping that they can live a good life in the underworld. ?

3. The more broken the earthen basin is, it represents the wealth of future generations of the family.

Only the eldest son and grandson are qualified to throw pottery bowls, so they must be the ones who hold the financial power of the family in the future. The more broken the earthen basin, the louder the sound, indicating that the wealth of family descendants is rolling in. The fine tradition and frugality of the deceased will be passed on to the head of the family with the property. Therefore, people who throw pottery bowls will definitely try their best to smash them and let the wealth at home roll in. ?

The beautiful moral also represents a yearning for the dead. Doing white things in rural areas is very grand, which shows that rural people are still following some old folk customs. I believe these folk customs will soon fade out of our sight, because it is imperative to change customs, advocate civilized sacrifices and oppose extravagance and waste. ?
