Koreans don't like eating ducks, mutton and fat pork. The elderly in Korea have a high status. Usually, the diet of the elderly is cooked separately and eaten separately. If father and son sit at the same table, the son can't smoke and drink in front of his father. Koreans are forbidden to knock at the door, and visitors should call the host. Koreans have always had many taboos in their daily lives, including forbidding words, fasting, watching, touching and caring. These contents can also be divided into birth taboos (including pregnancy taboos and taboos before and after delivery), marriage taboos, funeral taboos, building moving taboos, farming taboos, belief taboos and so on. For example, in the birth taboo, pregnant women are forbidden to drink water with chipped spoons and bowls, and pregnant women are forbidden to eat chicken for fear of not having milk after delivery. In the marriage taboo, men and women with the same surname handed down from the same clan cannot get married, which is called "the same surname and the same book are not married"; Men and women with different surnames handed down from the same ancestor cannot get married, which is called "different surnames from different sources"; You can't marry your aunt or cousin, which is "consanguineous marriage"; If there is a funeral at home, you can't get married within a year. This is called "not getting married in case of funeral".

Among the taboos of funeral and sacrifice, scaleless fish, such as loach and eel, cannot be used as food for sacrifice because of their dragon shape; When holding sacrifices (sacrifices within three years are called soul sacrifices, and sacrifices after three years are called sacrifices), you can't sprinkle Chili noodles in the soup; Dog meat cannot be placed on the sacrificial table; Mouth fish can't go to the sacrificial platform, because the lower lip of mouth fish looks like a "mountain", and the mountain is where immortals live. In the taboo of building and moving, the front of the house should be open, and the taboo is just facing the mountain peak; When moving, choose auspicious days and normal days, and avoid auspicious days (the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, 17, 27 is auspicious days, the ninth day, 19, 10, 20 is normal days, and others are auspicious days). In the taboo of farming, the date of sowing in the field is divided into extended day and shortened day (1 to 5, 1 1 to 15, 2 1 to 25, others are shortened days). Sowing for a long time will make crops grow well. In addition, at weddings and funerals, dogs don't kill, and so on. Most of the taboo customs of the Korean nation have been abandoned, but some of them still continue to this day.

There was a man standing on the roof or in the yard, facing north, waving the shirt of the deceased, shouting the name of the deceased and asking him to take the clothes away. So shout three times in a row. After evocation, attack. The so-called attack is to bathe the dead and put on the shroud. The so-called small collection is to wrap the body of the deceased with white cloth. A big discount is to put a wrapped body in a coffin. At the old funeral, there was a big fund-raiser on the third day after the patient died. On the second day after the bumper harvest, the children and relatives of the deceased formally put on mourning clothes and held a cross-dressing ceremony, which was called a cross-dressing ceremony. Then, mourn. After that, carrying the coffin from the house to the outside is called transporting the coffin or moving the coffin.

After putting the coffin on the funeral, the shoulder lifter lifts the funeral at the same time, takes a step back, and repeats this for three times, then moves forward.

When the coffin was put into the grave, it was in the hillside grave, with its head facing the top of the mountain. In a flat grave, head facing north. In order to rely on the collective strength to handle the funeral, there used to be a kind of non-governmental organization, such as "funeral deed", in the villages where Korean people lived together to unite the neighbors and solve the specific difficulties encountered in the funeral.
