Why do some rural areas do white things in a grand way and pay attention to ostentation and extravagance?

Everyone knows that rural people are more traditional and pay more attention to weddings and funerals. For a family, weddings and funerals are important events, and rural people also attach great importance to neighborhood relations. After all, generations have lived in one place, and their feelings are there. Rural people are more sophisticated. If anyone has anything, everyone will come to help. If people come to help, they will definitely keep everyone for dinner.

First, when a funeral is held, suona is played and bands and song and dance troupes are invited.

In the past, people who played suona were invited to attend funerals, such as relatives and friends. At this time, they will play suona to express their sadness. Finally, when they go to the funeral, they will follow and play along the way, and everyone will be very sad. But now many people feel that playing suona is not stylish enough, so they just invite it. Why do you want to invite a song and dance troupe and sing opera or something?

In fact, it's all for your own face, because others do it. In fact, rural people love to follow the trend and compare with others. They feel that others have invited a song and dance troupe and they have to invite people to perform themselves. Otherwise, I feel humiliated. In the eyes of outsiders, it is actually unnecessary to do so, and it becomes like entertaining the living. This is not only indecent, but also a typical extravagance and waste. It is enough for the elderly to be filial when they are alive. Who is filial and unfilial, usually everyone in the village knows what kind of person you are when they see you.

No matter how many song and dance troupes are invited, they will not be nicer to the old man than when he was alive. Let him eat and drink well, don't be wronged in bed, don't give him more health just because he is dirty, and let the old man leave without regret. This is respect for the dead, and the neighbors will agree with you.

Second, it's not enough to set off fireworks. We need to find a big one.

Although it is forbidden to set off firecrackers now, it is still necessary to hold funerals in the countryside. Fireworks can still be set off in many places. Nowadays, in many places, guns are used to pull a car full of equipment, and there are more than one car, even four or five cars. This phenomenon is very common in rural areas, because many people want to make the funeral louder in order to save face because of the death of their loved ones, but in this case, the funeral will be louder.
