May 7, centenary, anniversary, etc. Let's talk about the funeral ceremony in detail. 1. The mourning ceremony is to park the deceased relatives in the center of the main hall (head facing south). First, before the death of a loved one, children should put on a shroud for the deceased. In the custom of the Han nationality in the north, they wear white shirts and underwear, then cotton trousers and a black robe outside. The whole suit can't have buttons, but it should be tied with a belt to show that there are successors. The deceased wore a black hat with a ruffle on his head, and a knot made of red cloth was sewn on the top of the hat to drive away the evil spirit. Men should wear black cloth shoes and women should wear blue cloth shoes. Before the patient dies, his family members must bathe and change clothes for him. After that, relatives should immediately move the body to the hearse. At the beginning and end, first give money to the deceased (preferably before he dies), and put dry dog food in both hands (seven cakes are put on with twine, dry dog food is put in the left hand, and the dog whip is held in the right hand to cross the Hungry Dog Mountain). Put on your old shoes and mix them with string. Put a towel (black cloth) after finishing, and cover it with yellow cloth or white cloth from head to toe. After death, the eldest son should show the way. The specific way is: the eldest son holds the pole. Standing on a stool, there was a bunch of paper money at one end of the pole. He pointed to the southwest and shouted three times: Dad or Mom, take the southwest road, Guangming Avenue, three avenues and the middle one. Before the coffin shop, put down the first meal, (two bowls of rice are buckled together, with three small sorghum poles inserted on them and cotton balls wrapped outside) offerings, incense sticks and oil lamps are lit. First, you should burn three catties and twelve pieces of paper money in the funeral basin. The paper ash should be specially wrapped and put in the museum when you leave. If you believe in Buddhism, you can't move for 24 hours, provide vegetarian food, and have Buddhist disciples chanting scriptures (Diamond Sutra, Tomi Sutra, Foot-tail Sutra, etc.). , 12 hour). Funeral Customs in Northeast China (2) 1. After Dai Xiao stopped mourning, first of all, filial piety was removed from the elderly (the elderly who knew how to remove filial piety). Whether Manchu or Han nationality, whether wearing linen clothes or mourning clothes, you must go to Dai Xiao according to the following rules, and never take it with you. The deceased is male, Dai Xiao should be short on the left and long on the right, the deceased is female, and Dai Xiao should be short on the right and long on the left. The person who binds the waist, the deceased is a man, and filial piety should be tied to the left side of the waist regardless of gender. If the deceased is a woman, she should tie her waist to the right, that is, the short one is gone. Dai Xiao is a dutiful son of the younger generation, and his peers don't need Dai Xiao. Parents should walk eight inches shorter, and parents should walk eight minutes shorter. Never take Ji Xiao, this is a heavy funeral, unless two old people die together (they die in one day or hold a funeral together so that they can wear Ji Xiao), and avoid it. Dai Xiao used to be very picky. There is not so much pressure now. As long as you can, Dai Xiao. However, family members should also wear plain clothes. If a child wants to wear a dutiful son, he must wear it on his head. Grandson wears a small piece of red cloth on filial piety cloth, and great-grandson wears a small piece of blue cloth on filial piety cloth. Look at the difference. Men of other nationalities wear their left arms on their arms, while women wear them on their heads.

Here's how to make a coffin. (1) How to tell the age of an old friend from the coffin? If you are not over 60 years old, add the world before the word. At the age of 60-70, write the word before the old word, at the age of 70-80, write the word before the old word, and at the age of 80-90, write the word before the old word. If someone's father dies at the age of 48, he should write "worldly wisdom" on the coffin-insiders can see at a glance that he died before the age of 60. (2) How to tell whether the deceased is male or female from the coffin? 1, in the middle of the coffin and the bottom of the coffin on both sides. The requirements are: male scissors, female scissors. The man shot five arrows at the bottom; The woman cut five notches at the bottom. 2. The ribbon in the middle of the coffin reads "Men cut round, women cut square". The place where the circle is taken means that men cut 13 circle and women cut 14 square. Men's singles and women's doubles. For example, my father's name is He, and he is 58 years old. It can be written as: "The world is cold, and the princes dare not live in peace." . The word complications must fall on the new word. 3. How to write the coffin? The last word of the words written with ribbons on both sides of the coffin must take up the new word. For example, the ribbon of the coffin below: the golden boy leads Lapras East; Jade girl sends a crane to the west. The last couplet, "Golden Boy Leads Lapras to the East" is nine words, from the golden word "Wang Sheng's Tomb" to the last word "Wang Sheng's Tomb". In this way, the next link is poor and the last word is new. The last words written by streamer in the middle of the coffin asked men to take the lead in giving birth to women. If the name is two words, add a treasure word between the words "evocation", and "evocation and soul protection" will not hinder this. New burial, with white paper, both raw burial. Now that the grave is ready for burial, use red paper. Coffins should be beaten in turn from the eldest son. Funeral Customs in Northeast China (3) 1. Hanging mourning in the northeast, mourners hang burning paper at the gate, which is made of paper strips. If the husband and wife are dead, cut a gap on the note, and if the husband and wife are gone, cut two gaps on the note. Every three pieces are fastened with hemp rope, and the number of notes is determined by the age of the deceased. One is one year old, plus two, representing heaven and earth. The upper part and the lower part are both clamped in a buckle, and the latter two or one are both clamped in a buckle, with the upper part representing the sky and the lower part representing the ground. This is also called "inverted sticker". Moreover, the location of hanging this article is determined by the sex of the deceased. If the deceased is male, it is hung on the left side of the door, and if the deceased is female, it is hung on the right side of the door. As soon as people see the note at the door, they will know the life span of the deceased, whether it is male or female. You can also put up a poster with white paper outside the gate, indicating the time of birth and death of the deceased. Second, after the death of the deceased, the bereaved family members have to leave messages to relatives and friends they don't know, and the informants come and go in a hurry. After receiving the news, relatives immediately put on plain clothes to attend the funeral, and when they enter the door, they will kneel down and cry. This is called crying, and the bereaved children and grandchildren kneel to meet and kowtow in return. At this time, they don't talk about seniority. Sometimes bereaved families find a guest to take their family to a neighbor's house to look for a job, but the family can't go to Dai Xiao and get into the house. Third, reporting to the temple is also called sending slurry. Before the funeral, before each meal, a porridge, a pot for cooking rice, three spoonfuls of rice or dry food and a lamp should be distributed. Find an older person, lead the way with a lamp, followed by Dai Xiaoren. If there is no temple, build a temple with three bricks (outside the village, northeast and southwest). When you come to the temple, you have to turn left three times and right three times. Pour the rice paste in front of the temple, put the lamp in front of the temple, put the paper in your hand in front of the temple, throw all the incense in and light it. When you light it, take it back and use it next time. When going to the temple to report, the dead daughter will cry when she goes. The band plays music, so you don't have to come back. Fourthly, every night, when it's all over, we should burn the closing paper to mark the end of the day. Funeral Customs in Northeast China (4) 1. Before the funeral, the bereaved take turns to guard around the funeral of the deceased, guarding the ever-burning lamp, not letting it go out, burning incense, burning paper before the funeral, and paying homage to grief.

After the funeral, the coffin needs to be parked at home, usually for seven days. Now most of them are on the third day of the funeral (from the second day after death). From the funeral to the funeral, family members should stay or sleep beside coffins and straw mats to show filial piety. It's called a wake. Their relatives and friends can do some activities indoors, called "sitting at night". Under normal circumstances, anyone who stays at home should set up a coffin shed and put sacrifices on the head of Shoucai, such as pouring rice, ever-burning lamps, portraits, wreaths, offering incense burner bowls (steamed bread, fruits, etc. ). Second, the mourning hall should be built with a mourning shed, also called the mourning hall, for the use of rural funerals. The layout of the mourning hall depends on the conditions. Generally speaking, a big tent should be set up first, with lights and a music stand on the left (tables and chairs should be placed for the band to play stereo). Sacrifice, portrait, banner, elegiac couplet. How to write the banner: If Huang's mother dies, it should be written as: Huang's mother and the old gentleman ceremony hall. If it is a dead person, it should be written as: Mr. Huang Gong runner-up and the old gentleman mourning hall, twelve words. Generally speaking, the layout of Peng Ling is to hang the portrait of the deceased above Tang Ling and hang elegiac couplets on the left and right sides of Peng Ling. The first couplet is: the golden body shines in the Buddha country, and the next couplet is: take off the mortal fetus and leave the mortal soul to the west. There is also: virtues will never be passed down, and lamentations will be loud. Life is over 70 years old, smiling and immortal. A good name will remain in the eternal loyalty to the soul. At the end of my life, I hope to disappear again. Horizontal approval can be based on the age of men and women, such as driving cranes to the west and respecting spirits to the west.
