He would die because one day he saw a man washing charcoal, the man wanted to wash the black charcoal white. Peng Zu laughed out loud and said, "I have lived for more than 800 years, but I have never heard that charcoal can be washed and whitened. I didn't realize that the charcoal washer was a ghost messenger, and he couldn't find Peng Zu, but he didn't realize that Peng Zu himself confessed, and Peng Zu was taken to the King of Hell because of that.

(In our ancient times, chrysanthemums were used as a flower of consolation, with the meaning of thoughts and remembrance. White chrysanthemums are the most suitable, and can also be paired with some green grass, such as lilies, green leaves, carnations, etc., will be more beautiful. However, yellow chrysanthemums are known as longevity chrysanthemums, which are more suitable for visiting the sick rather than paying respect to the deceased. Since the cemetery is the resting place of the deceased, you should not cross the grave and offerings, and make loud noises, laugh and swear, and use obscene language. This is not only disrespectful to one's own ancestors, but also a nuisance to the spirits in the vicinity, and one should not trample on other graves or comment on the design of the graves, as this will be regarded as blasphemy. It is best not to visit family and friends on that day. Because it is a special time of the festival, it is really embarrassing or rather unlucky to visit friends and relatives at this time. (Since shoes and evil sound the same, you usually cannot buy shoes at this time.) If someone in your family happens to have a birthday today, you should try to avoid it. For example, the solar birthday coincides with the Qingming Festival, try to over the lunar birthday, and vice versa. If you really can not avoid, do not accept flowers on the day, birthday cake can not be eaten on the day.
