Lyrics of rural funeral songs:

Part I: The first song

Life is rich and poor, and women suffer for it.

Some children must be sent to school. They read more books than others.

Adopted daughters should teach needlework, and embroidered flowers are easy to avoid suspicion.

Don't be short-sighted when you are beaten and scolded, but a golden hoop makes a great sage.

On a bright night, the stars will shine one day, and women will take one with them.

The skirt is tightly worn on the body to avoid sweeping the dust underground.

Don't let her loiter and go out early at dusk.

Now the world is not right, and many people are drowned by saliva.

The wind blows the leaves everywhere, and parents are busy day and night for their children.

Father buys heaven and earth to play, mother plays hairpin, and girl wears clothes.

Impermanence of heaven, no children instead of parents.

Adopt a son and a daughter, the prospects are bleak, and they will return empty-handed when they die.

Parents can't talk when they die until the spirit burns incense and smokes.

Don't eat the dead food in your mouth, turn over and jump out of the world of mortals.

The whole family shouted, but Yan refused to put it back.

It is no use crying.

Section 2: Homesickness

Before the spirit, light a lamp to shine, cry, father cry, mother cry.

Raise the child for nothing, and never go home as soon as he enters the grave.

Raising children for nothing is like giving charcoal in the snow.

The ghost can't cross the dead end, holding the coffin and crying.

Before the spirit, paper is a pile of ash, and parents are gone forever.

Father doesn't ask children to pour boiling water, and mother doesn't ask women to take teacups.

When I make the bed, I can't see my parents sleeping or wearing washed clothes.

It's hard to give up all kindness and cry in a coffin.

There is a delicious table before Lingqian, and my parents won't come back.

Put chopsticks in the cup in front of Ling. Wine helps both sides.

No father drinks, no mother eats.

Parents are crying with coffins across the boundary of yin and yang.

A solitary lamp lit up the hall, crying for father and mother.

I painstakingly raised it into a dreamland and saw the word spirit tablet.

Raising kindness is a very hard thing, and children can't be left behind at any time.

I do it when I think about it, and I cry about my parents day and night.

After the collection, the dutiful son took the broom, the entrustment paper and the old clothes of the deceased, and went to Wudao Temple to meet the deceased with the spirit tablet. Drummers played funeral music. All undertaker walked around the temple, told the dead to get on the bus, and then put the life paper and old clothes into the paper car to burn. The filial son cries, relatives and friends bow to the north, and the filial son responds, which is called "seeing off" and commonly known as "receiving funeral".
