..................... is the traditional custom, while Tianjin, which is dominated by Beijing and Tianjin, is divided into "big family" and "well-off family". The preparation work is very troublesome. As soon as a person dies (here refers to the death of an old man who lost his home, which is enough for people who do white things), he will immediately find a close friend to study and deal with it. All preparation is nothing more than the number of ways to spend money, including invitation, setting and searching. Lease, order, purchase, system and other items. Order: 1. The purpose of inviting the general manager is to prepare someone who can handle the funeral. He must have experience in doing this kind of thing and be able to get in touch with related industries in society. It is also necessary to equip several deputies to obey the command of the general manager (some are called the prime minister) in order to provoke the burden in an orderly manner. Whether the funeral can be held smoothly has a lot to do with the general manager. 2. The establishment of the accounting office is generally to find relatives and friends to serve as the accounting office. He is responsible for all kinds of expenses in white affairs, setting up accounts, including registering libation and elegiac couplets, memorials, plaques, wreaths, paper work and "classics" sent by relatives and friends, and then calculating expenses and paying labor fees. 3. The first thing to find a bar room is an auspicious board (mortuary board), which is called Zuo Zuo. This board is painted with gold characters and longevity characters, and there are also golden flowers on two stools. 4. Carve coffins. There are two situations. One is that this house has long been reserved for the elderly; Secondly, after death, people are now treated as coffins or materials from funeral homes to wood shops. The selected raw materials are transported to the door and are now made by wood shop workers. Longevity wood also has a north-south style. Buried in the old society, coffins alone cost a lot of money. The most delicate and precious (and the rarest) is dark wood, followed by golden nanmu and cypress. Generally speaking, it is made of thirteen rounds of Chinese fir, that is, thirteen Chinese fir trees are carved into a coffin. Except what has been painted, it is all buried stubble, and then painted (a large piece of paint is baked with charcoal fire once). Later, I will write on the head of the coffin (white characters) and draw lotus flowers behind the coffin. 5. There are several kinds of scaffolding for finding a shed. Some only build flat sheds, and some pay attention to "ridging sheds" and bring flowers to live. Some people build greenhouses, two thin mats, a patio and a blue crane ceiling. The shed at the gate should be built above the street-facing building, upstairs, on the ridge of the field, and hung with colored nets. The shed in the courtyard is equipped with stained glass windows, some of which have moon doors with railings, and the platform (Lingtai) has tapestries with railings. The shed is spacious and bright, which can be used to hang the "land and water" when offering sacrifices, elegiac couplets and chanting. In addition, in order to entertain relatives and friends, it is quite expensive to set up a guest shed and a small stove shed in the open space of hutong. 6. Rent tables, chairs and benches for white workers, and rent five plates, teapots, tea bowls and other utensils placed on the spirit table from the white goods store. 7. It is also important to find a teahouse for nothing. On the surface, they are here to serve the guests, but in fact, in the days after the funeral, taking a nap and other actions will play a very important role. Therefore, waiters must be familiar with the funeral procedures and all kinds of etiquette, and also understand the relationship between the mourners and the deceased. They have a certain number of "working" ways in the aspects of classics, mourning, receiving three, sending the road, dressing up, offering sacrifices to the door, and sending quotations. Attendants are the most cautious in these activities, and at every juncture, they must meet the etiquette requirements and cannot be negligent. There are several relatives in the main family, such as aunts, aunts, uncles, etc., who love to "find fault". In the past, there was a large family doing white work, and the etiquette of the waiter serving the dutiful son was flawed. As a result, my aunt slapped the waiter in the face 1, and some well-known waiters easily dared not take the job of a big family. However, they made a lot of money. After a big revelation, they can get thousands of dollars (several waiters). They have to count money for every activity, such as giving a mourning dress, chanting and saluting, offering sacrifices to the door, seeing them off, and picking up the third place. As long as there are activities, they can get a sum of money. 8. Looking for a white goods store means renting things used in the funeral process in the white goods store, such as the funeral list rack, as well as all flags, gongs, umbrellas, fans, snow willows and various ceremonial utensils and objects in the funeral process. 9. There are two kinds of trumpeters. One is a team playing "Da Le", which uses suona, trombone, drum and gong, and its qupai is "Preface to the King of Gao Jiawen". The other is a fine band, which has instruments such as sheng, wind, flute and cloud gong, commonly known as "Ten Fan Music". 10. The binding color is the bookbinder, paper horse, etc. Some are carefully made, as tall as real people, dressed in silk, hemp, silk and other clothes, and some are made of Jinshan Yinshan, trees, houses and indoor furniture. , are customized according to demand. 1 1. Find a tailor's shop. Everyone pays attention to mourning before death. There is a difference between filial piety. People who should wear mourning clothes in this family should not accept the hem of mourning clothes, but should accept the mourning clothes of relatives with other surnames. In addition, the male and female servants of this family gave a mourning dress and took it away. After filial piety and free service, the host family will not take it back. The tailor will do it as soon as you are informed. 12. Book a banquet for the funeral. Starting with coats, we have to prepare meals for our guests, which are cooked by our chef. On weekdays, there is no table, but there must be at least eight dishes. In the last three days, tables should be set to entertain guests, some as many as 100 tables, all of which are excellent banquets with delicacies, divided into major religious and Muslim seats, and vegetarian seats are needed. These are all made in advance by the hotel inviting the master to come to our home to decorate the stove. In the old society, there were some freeloaders. Even if you don't know the host family who arranged the wedding, as long as you do, try to sneak in and sit down for dinner. There are many guests and seats in the greenhouse, and no one knows who it is, so such people wipe their mouths after eating.
