Ancient China, some people died at home, the deceased deceased friends door to door mourning, the family to perform the thanksgiving ceremony, this thanksgiving have kneeling? Bowing is enough to put, kneeling why? Ancient Chinese people died first of all to report the funeral, the funeral only to their own Zongshi relatives (excluding relatives). This time the eldest son or grandson to do this kind of thing, to report the time of mourning in the door of each house to stand down kneeling, waiting for the master to come out to invite the gift (that is, to call him up). After that, the clansmen have to organize at least one family member to go to the office to help, and on the day of mourning, if they are not the elders of the clan, they have to kneel down. The day of the funeral there is a funeral banquet after the bridesmaids.

Finally, the end of the return of gifts to the relatives of all, excluding friends

What you see, basically not the ancient Chinese rituals. It's just for TV. There are a few people who cry in mourning, and it's impossible for them to kneel all the time. Because the kneeling people can only be men, and only kneeling when the ceremony, basically three days and three nights, there are brothers will take turns.

I hope you can help you, I was born in the Zong Shi family, do not believe too much in the TV stuff.
