After the death of relatives in rural areas, there are many things to pay attention to, not only for seven times, but also for a hundred days, and then for birthdays. In fact, whether it's burning July 7th, a hundred days or a birthday, it's just a kind of nostalgia for relatives.

We all know that people have three souls and seven spirits, so the living will burn for their dead relatives for three years.

In our countryside, only May 7th is the biggest of the seven. When it is burned, relatives and friends will come to participate in the sacrifice. In the usual June and July, only the closest relatives go to the grave to pay homage. If parents die, that means only children will go to the grave to burn incense paper. Because they are their own parents, their children will visit the grave every seven days as long as they have time and convenience. But only Erqi, the daughter did not go to the grave, 2727, which means that this is the seventh son, so only Erqi's son went to the grave to worship.

In my hometown, 573 is the most grand, and the focus of burning 577 is to sacrifice horses to heaven.

. The May 7th horse is different from the tangled horse when it died. The tangled horse was tied by her daughter. In other words, when he just died, as long as the deceased had a daughter, the money for hiring people to tie paper horses must be paid by her. May 7th is different. The May 7th horse is the son who spends money. The most important thing on May 7th is sacrifice. During the worship, the children of the deceased prepared live chickens and live fish, as well as pig heads. Now that the conditions are good, many people put the whole pig directly on it and painted flowers on it.

Worship on May 7th is the highest etiquette and the most solemn memorial to the dead. No matter how many children the deceased had, no matter their children, every child gave the same pig head, live chicken and live fish to worship. It should be noted that the live chicken used here must be a rooster. After the seventh seven times, that is, the seventh seven times, all the clothes worn by the deceased should be taken to the grave and burned. Since then, everything in this world has gone up in smoke.

Although most of these things originated from folklore, they were only feudal superstitious activities with old habits and customs, so people did not advocate them, and this so-called "burning July 7th" custom basically disappeared in later generations.
