Is it really necessary to wake up after death?

Wake, also known as vigil, is a traditional custom of Han nationality in China. The wake is usually held on the coffin bed or beside the coffin until dawn. Because in the eyes of the ancients, people will return to their homes to visit relatives within three days after death, so children at this time need to wait near the coffin or mourning hall, waiting for the return of the deceased. Today, the wake has become a custom, and relatives get together to mourn the dead. But in fact, it won't do any good not to wake after death.

Wake is a custom, and it is an act to remember our loved ones after their death. Although our relatives have passed away, we believe that their souls will go back to their homes to have a look before going to the underworld, so we need to protect him. And they usually light a lamp at home, so that the deceased can find their way home without getting lost in the world. Therefore, although the wake is a folk custom, its profound meaning is still worth thinking about. It is a kind of respect and love for life. That's why I can't bear to leave the dead.

But some people often die because of accidents. These people didn't wake for them, but it won't have any consequences, because the so-called immortality is just an illusion that our loved ones stay in this world. Therefore, the wake is only a symbolic custom, but it is not necessary. So some people have no relatives or friends, and no one will wake them up when they die. And now it is 2 1 century, and many people have died in hospitals, which makes the wake a troublesome way.

But whether we are awake or not, we need to respect life and cherish it. This is the real purpose of our wake. We can't keep vigil for the sake of vigil, but we can't judge the importance of life by whether we have a vigil or not. At least, there is nothing without the wake.
