1930s

After the 1930s, the custom of wearing a black veil began to popularize in the old city residents. However, the wearing of this black veil started after the burial of the deceased. horse-drawn four-wheeled hearse appeared in the city in the late 1930s and became popular among middle-class families in the 1940s as it saved a lot of labor, material and financial resources.

Question 7: Are funeral customs traditional culture, or are they bad? After the death of a person to the burial of the previous mourning activities, the ancient collectively referred to as "funeral rites". There are many names for death in ancient times. There was a difference between the seniority and the inferiority in life, and there was also a difference in the title of death, and the hierarchy was clear. These various titles reflected the various understandings of people of different times and different classes about death. After the death of a person, to tell the bad news to the public. Mourning process of Chinese medicine wailing, some later generations of mourners in order to ensure that the sound of crying day and night, to show the atmosphere of grief, often let concubines and maidservants on duty to help cry, or even pay to hire outsiders or beggars to cry on behalf of the deceased. On behalf of the cryers and the deceased no kinship can be said, crying not from the heart, just for the master to do their duty or to obtain money, every time the scene of the play, the mouth put the voice of sadness but the face of the color of joy, the appearance of a hundred, quite criticized by the world.

Ancient people attached great importance to the choice of burial site, quite elaborate, formed a set of superstitious theories and methods, proficient in this way and this for the industry folk called "Feng Shui Mr.". The so-called "feng shui", in fact, is the common name of the ancient art of geomancy. Ancient superstitious, whenever the construction of things, in the construction of the ground before they have to look at the nearby geomorphological environment and the situation of the mountains and rivers, to see if it is "wind" to "water", to choose the good luck to avoid bad luck. Until today, this phenomenon still exists. Modern cemeteries also raise the price of the so-called good feng shui! However, superstitious people still do not hesitate to pay a lot of money, just hoping to find a good resting place. Both for their own good, but also for the protection of future generations of children and grandchildren.

The burial of the dead is an important part of the funeral activities. In addition to the influence of foreign cultures, there are many different ways to bury the dead. In addition to the most common ancient burial, the more popular cremation, water burial, tree burial, sky burial, hanging coffin burial, urn burial, limb burial, second burial, cut body burial and so on.

The burial of the deceased does not mean the end of the funeral activities, the family and relatives still have to mourn for the deceased to observe filial piety. But in the process of mourning, some of the observant people often lead an ascetic life, and manifest the so-called "filial piety" in all kinds of extreme ways of self-abuse and suppression of humanity.

In a sense, funeral is a microcosm of human society and a concentrated expression of national culture. As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, the amount of information about ancient society contained in funeral customs is incomparable to that of other rituals and customs.

Inside the room, there is no statue of the deceased, the deceased is covered with a layer of cloth lying in the middle, to commemorate the people who enter the door will make a sad sound, in the room to express their feelings of mourning.

The Yi people can sing and dance at the funeral if it is the end of life. If it's an accident, you can't have too much fun. No matter what kind of death, you have to ask Bi Mo to exorcise the ghosts and recite the guiding scriptures, and the cremation time is also set by Bi Mo. I have heard from many of my Yi friends that old people are not afraid of death, they are afraid that they will not be cremated after their death, so that their souls will not be able to return to the place where their ancestors came from. The place depicted in the fingerprint scripture is a paradise of abundance of food and clothing and no worries.

The Yi ethnic group has many branches, is widely distributed, and is located in different geographical environments. As a result, funeral customs and even rituals are not the same in all Yi regions and all branches. From the form of burial to the funeral program, it is obvious to show the local differences and branch characteristics.

In the form of burial, the Yi people had cremation in history, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Yi people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou changed to coffin burial. In addition, the Yi also had tree burials, pottery burials, rock burials, water burials, sky burials, and so on.

1. Cremation. The way of burial is to burn the body with fire. In the Yi area has been inherited for a long time, Jiajing "Guizhou Tongzhi" contained in the local Yi people "burned in the wild, thrown scattered bones"; "Yue Hall Zhi? Yi Customs" also contains: "burial without coffin, incinerated by fire, covered with soil and stone." Xichang County? Yi Zhi" also recorded that the Yi cremation of the body, "collection of bones in the urn, the order of the faithful old child several people, negative urn loaded hoe into the deep cliffs and holes buried in the secret, do not let people know, to prevent the wrongdoers steal digging also." Now the Yi region of Yunnan Province, cremation, the body must be curled up, men lying on their backs, women lying on their sides, set up a firewood building to burn. And then digging a pit will be the remaining ash with altar and wrapped in thatch, buried in the pit. In some cases, after building the grave, the pile is surrounded by a turn of stone. In Xuanwei County, some Yi people's ancestral graveyard is a mass of cremated graves. In some cases, after cremation, the bones and ashes are put into jars and sent to rock caves. Both methods of burial are compound secondary burials, i.e. cremation followed by earth burial, or cremation followed by rock burial. The traditional way of cremation is preserved and inherited more complete and original is the size of Liangshan.

2. Earth burial. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yi people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou gradually replaced the traditional cremation with coffin burial, and the earth burial customs are similar to those of the local Han people. After the death of the Yunnan Sani Yi people are generally parked for two days, by the sorcerer's chanting to send the soul, the village people and female relatives to "play the lion", "haunted monkeys", "run the gongs and drums" and so on. The day of the funeral, the village men and women to go to the funeral, men in front of the coffin, women in the coffin after the parade to the cemetery, each person to bring their own food and wine, the funeral home to prepare meals. After the death of a woman, she must ask her mother's relatives to come to see her off, and when she leaves the funeral, her maternal uncle should hand over wine to return to the people, indicating that she has severed her previous marital relationship, and if there is no one from her mother's family to see her off, she can't go out to the funeral. A fine The Yi people need to stop the body for three days after death before the funeral, the whole village to prepare their own food rations, gathered in the public house to eat and drink for three days, said the sacrifice.

3. Water burial, sky burial, rock burial. For the ancient Liangshan Yi special burial. Water burial, that is, the body into the river washed away. Sky burial, that is, the body back to the nearby mountains, let the birds and animals tear food. Rock burial, the body will be thrown down from the hanging rock. These special burial method is based on the deceased by the Bi Mo Zodiac, life Palace, the day of death after the decision of the implementation of the pinch, has been abolished.

That is, after the death of a person, with a six-foot-high altar jar, the dead into the stand straight, buried in the soil, base into a mound. Yunnan Lunan Sani tributary of the Yi people have historically practiced this burial method. The local people believe that it is passed down from their ancestors, people are standing, but also to stand and die, head to the sky, feet on the ground, live so, die so.

5. Tree burial. Tree burial is an ancient Yi burial customs. Yunnan Yi area has a legend about "tree burial": "In the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang in the world of the era, the Yi ancestors Meng Yu General's concubine died. Meng Yu asked his subordinates to wrap the body in silk and satin, and buried it in a green pine tree. People sang and danced around the tree in memory of the beautiful concubine".
