The graves and coffins in the countryside are obviously underground, so why build a small mound on the surface?

Every place has a unique culture and human history, and so does this place in the countryside. Although many people look down on the countryside, this does not hinder the development and superiority of rural people.

In fact, if we walk on the road of the countryside, maybe we can feel the charm of nature and the benefits of the countryside at the same time. At this time, we can let go of all our precautions and nervous emotions and let our hearts and minds relax.

In fact, in addition, people will be nervous and afraid, not because the rural environment is terrible, but because there will be some earth graves in some fields or wasteland in rural areas.

Because some rural areas in remote areas still retain some traditional burial styles, they also leave a lot of burial objects. If you often live in the countryside, you will know that there are no coffins in the bare mound, and the coffins are buried underground. Speaking of which, some people are curious. Since the coffins are buried underground, why should the mound be exposed to the surface? Is it too obvious?

In fact, it is reasonable for farmers to do so. If these coffins are buried on the ground and look no different from other places, then people will walk unscrupulously when passing through these places, which is obviously disrespectful to the dead.

Through the signs of these small mounds, people realize that this is a grave. In addition, with these signs, people will not be embarrassed to dig graves when building houses and digging foundations, because everyone knows what kind of existence this is. After all, many people will have awe of it and stay away from it.

Of course, there is also a mound that is easier to identify, so that relatives can find their graves at a glance when they burn paper. In fact, when they go back to history, they will find it.

Before Confucius, there was a saying of grave robbery. After Confucius built a cemetery for his parents, this method continued. The so-called grave means protruding. Since the grave is protruding, it is reasonable to have a mound!
