With the development of society, the funeral customs in cities are becoming more and more simple, and different places have different regulations. However, in most rural areas of our country, there is still a long-standing funeral custom, one of which is that people will put a rooster on the coffin before burial. Why? Let me give you a brief introduction. In this regard, I wonder if you still remember the old movies you have seen before. Every time I meet a ghost that appears at night, I will run away immediately when a rooster crows. Even the most powerful ghost is very afraid of roosters.
This is the general view of roosters in our country. People believe that roosters can exorcise evil spirits. But there are still people in our country who are unwilling to leave this world after death and will wander the world for 7749 days. In this way, there will be some killings to retaliate and hurt the living. Ghosts usually hide in coffins during the day and come out at night to try to harm people, so people think of putting a rooster on coffins during the wandering period to suppress ghosts when people wake up for the dead, which is what the old man often says. The rooster is sitting in the coffin? .
There is also a saying that people think that roosters can guide the dead. There is a saying about yin and yang in our country, and in the eyes of most people, the coffin is a place full of yin, which is what the ancients said? Yin house? Few people will often go to the grave, if they don't meet Qingming, a special time to sweep the grave. The rooster has another function. People think that the rooster will sing on time when the sun rises, and it has a strong yang. People regard rooster as the sun god, hoping that rooster can balance yin and yang when people wake up, and guide the dead not to wander in the world, but to be reincarnated. Such a rooster also crows? Credit chicken? Relatives and family members of dead chickens are not allowed to eat, and they can only be sold or given away.
