Why is the coffin in the countryside "one head is big and one head is small", what are the instructions?

There are three main reasons why coffins in the countryside are made with one big head and one small head. This method of making coffins is influenced by feng shui, history and cultural heritage factors. It is important to realize that most people still believe in the doctrine of feng shui under the influence of traditional thinking.

The 1st reason is feng shui. Till now there are many rural residents who believe that the coffin is big at one end and small at the other end is related to feng shui. According to feng shui, it is better for a house to sit in the north and face the south, so if you are buried, people also think it is better to place the coffin in this direction. During the downloading process, people put the big end towards the north, and the small end towards the man, and when people make sacrifices, they need to kneel in the south to prostrate themselves. If the two ends of the coffin are the same size, it is not easy to distinguish.

The 2nd reason is historical. In the primitive society, due to the limited level of production, people can only dig the trees have inside, empty the bark to grind off before putting the body in. Because the tree itself is the shape of a big head and a small head, so make out of the luster is also this shape. As history evolved, the trees that could be made into coffins became fewer and fewer. At the end of the day, people used all kinds of trees to splice the coffins in order to be able to restore the shape of the previous coffins.

The 3rd reason is cultural heritage. The design shape of the coffin with one big head and one small head is actually related to the feng shui theory of yin and yang. But in addition to this, there is also the cultural heritage of the time. The coffin is made into a big head and a small head, the original is only the original shape of the tree is not the meaning of human ancestors, but after the emergence of feng shui doctrine all the coffins have been kept in this shape, this practice is also the original Chinese funeral culture to carry on the inheritance. So we should also respect this funeral culture, and in the historical and cultural heritage based on the protection of this traditional culture, this culture will also show some of the characteristics of Chinese culture.
