Why did you tie a big cock to the coffin at the funeral?

In rural areas, the location and burial of graves are very particular. Because the location of the cemetery not only affects the marriage and life of children and grandchildren, but also affects the fortune and career.

According to traditional customs, if there are some abnormal phenomena when the deceased is buried, it means that future generations will be different. So what are the signs when the deceased is buried?

1. I heard a cock crow when I was buried: after the death of the deceased, a soul-inducing chicken was put in the metropolis in front of the coffin to guide the soul of the deceased to another world smoothly. There will be a live rooster on the coffin at the funeral. In the eyes of the ancients, roosters were called "Phoenix" in geomantic omen. If the "phoenix" rings during burial, it will be considered as a combination of dragon and phoenix, which is a good omen, and it is intended to show that at this time of burial, the tomb and the deceased should be integrated with the ancient people, and the pain of bereavement is profound. If the deceased hears a cock crow before burial, it indicates that the younger generation will be promoted and made a fortune.

Second, it rained during the burial and hit the grave: In rural areas, it is very sad for the elderly to be buried. However, if rain falls on the grave after burial, it is usually considered as a good sign. Because there is an old saying that "rain hits the grave and makes a noble man". People believe that when the funeral happens, the rain will hit the grave, which will be moved by God like the writer's sadness, and even God will be sad for it, which is bound to be a good sign.

3. Creatures (snakes) excavated from ancestral graves: The ancients believed that snakes were the predecessors of dragons, and when they appeared in graves, they would be considered as places full of vitality and a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Therefore, digging a snake out of the grave shows that future generations are prosperous.

It's a good sign that there are snakes in the grave, because snakes are aura, and where they live, Feng Shui is often better. If there is a nest of snakes in the cemetery, the cemetery will be considered to have died well, because snakes represent money first. Remember not to disturb them, so as not to destroy the geomantic omen of the ancestral grave.
