Different nationalities, different regions and different customs vary greatly. Why can the custom of burial be passed down to this day?

Rural burial has existed since ancient times, including many customs and people's feelings. In rural areas, it is emphasized that "the dead are the biggest", "the grave is safe" and "the whole body is left behind". Cremation is not accepted by farmers and is affected by inheritance. In recent years, the state advocates "cremation", one is to save land, the other is to protect the environment. Although it is also very reluctant, it has basically been accepted now. As the name implies, burial means burial. Some foreign countries will choose sea burial and so on. Of course, there are other ethnic groups who choose to place it on the cliff at the top of the mountain as one of the cliff burials.

Drill a hole in the cliff to nail a stake and put the coffin on it; Or put one end of the coffin in a cliff hole and the other end on a stake nailed to the cliff. People can see coffins under the cliff, hence the name. Burial is the most popular.

In cities, after people die, they will send their bodies to funeral homes, where they will hold a memorial service, give a eulogy and remember the dead. After the remains are cremated, the ashes are left to later generations to mourn. In rural areas, people still insist on mortuary mourning, funeral collection, setting up mourning halls, keeping vigil all night, wearing Dai Xiao, evoking spirits and mourning, and burying in graves. In addition, there are seven days, one hundred days, the anniversary of burning, the third anniversary of burning and other ceremonies. The whole funeral ceremony was very complicated, but it was also well organized.

A funeral still reflects the clan kinship of China's eldest son and grandson for thousands of years. Another point is that the Spring Festival couplets can't be posted in the Spring Festival for three years, and the married daughter can only go to her parents' house to visit relatives on New Year's Eve. Of course, other festivals are normal. Others will burn paper in the fields on the anniversary of death. Although the country now advocates changing customs.

But in any case, respecting tradition does not mean being backward in thinking. It is absolutely one-sided to regard traditional customs as an obstacle to social progress. In today's society, in a certain time and environment, some customs may not be applicable, and we can not abide by them, but we must not respect them.
