It is forbidden to play suona in rural areas, which is actually divided into local customs. In our hometown, no matter before or now, there is no habit of playing suona. Most of us play funeral music or beat gongs and drums, showing a solemn and heavy atmosphere.

So personally, I think there are two main reasons to consider where there is no habit of playing suona. First, the death of someone is generally not a happy event, so the atmosphere must be solemn. The music played by suona is very festive and musical, which is not suitable for funerals.

Secondly, there is a superstitious view. During the three days of the funeral, we thought that the consciousness of the deceased still existed, and the sound of suona easily scattered it, so it was not good.

But for those places that have the habit of playing suona, it is not allowed to play suona at funerals now. In modern times, there are three main reasons.

First of all, the first one is because I feel too serious. In fact, for some people, the death of the old man is actually a good thing. This is also a different view of death.

Natural aging is in line with the law of natural growth. Some people think that there is no need to grieve for their own spring and autumn, so they should send them away naturally, so they have the habit of playing suona.

The second reason is that suona, as a loud musical instrument, is a nuisance to the people and also to protect the living environment. The third reason is that in rural areas, it is easy to compare with others for ostentation and extravagance. Playing suona to express lively atmosphere is a very formalistic thing.
