What are the folk customs of the third anniversary of burning paper for the elderly?

Burning the third anniversary paper shows that the loss of a son has successfully completed three years of filial piety to the elderly and fulfilled his obligations. After three weeks of burning paper, all the memorial ceremonies ended.

In ancient times, there was a system of mourning. Mourning is a constraint on the life of a dutiful son after the death of his loved one for a period of time. Pay attention to the "first year", "three years" and "ten years", of which "three years" is the most important, and the purpose of "ten years" is mostly to commemorate some people who have passed away and express filial piety to future generations.

Only in this way can we express our condolences and thoughts for the deceased. According to traditional customs, a baby needs to be cared for by his parents for three years after birth, and his son has to mourn for three years after his parents die.
