What are the precautions for traditional funerals?

In the traditional funeral of the Han nationality, there are many precautions, such as not seeing young people, not seeing the couple off, not going out, not entering the door to attend funeral services, etc. It was passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. If we don't pay attention to these, the image of bereavement will be greatly reduced in people's minds. What are the precautions? And listen to Bian Xiao answer for you one by one.

First, don't go out for three days, don't sweep the floor: there is a funeral at home, and the dutiful son doesn't go out for three days, and everything else is entrusted to him, unless he goes to the funeral home (in some areas, the dutiful son goes to the funeral home); After not sweeping the floor for three days, the dutiful sons were deeply saddened, and the pain of bereavement was beyond words, and they had no time to clean the facade.

Second, don't go out to see the guests off, and don't visit Dai Xiao: some relatives and friends come to offer their condolences. If you need to bid farewell to the guests after the condolences, you only need to send them to your doorstep; Dai Xiao's dutiful son can't go to other people's homes, or even stand by for the time being, so as not to bring bad luck to others.

Third, the fragrance remains unchanged, and the fragrance and the ever-burning lamp are immortal: the fragrance remains unchanged, indicating that the deceased has successors; The ever-burning lamp never goes out, illuminating the way home for the dead.

Fourth, mourning does not enter the door: the dutiful son cannot enter the house directly, but should shout outside the door. When someone comes to pick him up, he will bow down and tell the funeral time.

Fifth, money can't be made up later: money is also charged for the funeral of the deceased. If you can't attend the funeral on time because of something, you are not allowed to make up later to avoid heavy mourning.

6. No funeral during the Spring Festival: If they are immediate family members, they can attend the funeral, but no funeral during the Spring Festival, it is best to extend it by 1-2 days.

Seventh, after the funeral is over, we will not pay New Year greetings (nor accept them), put up Spring Festival couplets, or attend banquets and wedding banquets.

Eighth, mirrors and festive pictures at home should be covered with black or white cloth to show condolences and respect for the dead.

9. Husband and wife don't send each other (meaning not to attend the farewell funeral): This may be other matters after the filial piety goes to the funeral as soon as possible, and the wife is responsible for the funeral at home. In the old society, she had to prepare meals (now she is in a restaurant, so some wives go to the funeral home to attend the farewell ceremony).
