Today, Zhang Zi and you are talking about marriage, funeral, marriage and funeral culture in marriage. Of course, the whole set is really too elaborate, and I can't understand it so deeply at a young age. First, discuss the stress and meaning of "throwing pots" before carrying coffins, and why they should be thrown.
The stress and implication of "throwing the basin" before carrying the coffin. At that time, the needle was still a child, which was a sad thing for these people who run Pepsi. Because their relatives left them forever. But in the eyes of children, this is a strange thing, because it is not often seen, so it is not a bad thing to see it often. As long as an old man in the village dies, no matter how far away, the hour hand will fight a personal game.
If someone dies here, it's basically three days now, not three full days but three natural days. Especially on the afternoon of the third day, it was the most attended funeral before burial, and it was also the most grand moment. The whole funeral procession went to "report to the temple" in accordance with the principle of combining distance and order.
This temple should be an ancestral temple, saying that the "temple" in rural areas is really a bit pocket-sized. No more homeless people will sleep in the ancient temple. This piece has been simplified. In ancient times, a big family had a unified ancestral hall, which was filled with incense and genealogy. Even some people with bad conduct couldn't even get on the genealogy, which was a big deal at that time.
With the development of time, the rhythm is getting faster and faster, and this item gradually fades. But before being sent to the cemetery, I reported it or kept it. After the registration is completed, there is another obvious thing that is "throwing pots". Break the washbasin. The basin here is not a washbasin or vegetable basin commonly used at home, and the material is different. The basin here is a crock basin with several holes under it. So what's so particular about this "throwing basin"?
What's the point of "throwing a basin"? What's the meaning of "breaking the basin"? In a word, just break it into pieces. It is usually done by the eldest son in the family. Before carrying the coffin, use all your strength to carry the basin. With the slogan of carrying the coffin, the basin falls heavily. When I saw so much clockwise, I basically collapsed.
This is not only exquisite, but also legendary. It is said that there is a Wang Po in the underworld that will make the dead drink a bowl of soup. This soup is not Meng Po's soup. It is said that drinking this soup will make you confused and don't know the way of reincarnation. Then you will match a pot with a hole and miss the soup quietly in order to have a smooth reincarnation.
The man who broke the basin has nothing to say. According to the ancient patriarchal clan system, it has been handed down all the way, far and near, and young and old are orderly. Generally, the eldest son will fall. If the eldest son dies young, if he has children, the eldest son will do it. If there is no eldest grandson, the second son will come and be postponed in turn.
The meaning of the basin can be seen from the decay, that is, "peace through the years." In addition, it also symbolizes that since then, the dead have ended all earthly troubles, and even if the bones return to dust, everything will disappear like this basin. Go into battle lightly and start over in the next life.
The hour hand said that the funeral actually developed step by step. From the beginning, people were afraid of death. At that time, if someone died, they were buried on the spot. Later, people gradually accepted death. With the deepening of consanguinity, people who miss the dead and worry that they can't find them are marked with special symbols and gradually evolve into later tombstones.
Funeral customs are somewhere in between. Before sending the deceased to the grave, a series of acts of pinning people's good wishes have only one purpose, expressing their condolences to the deceased and hoping that the deceased will go well all the way.
In fact, traditional culture is not only manifested in these things, but also has infiltrated into our lives imperceptibly. For example, when eating, we set some dishes and chopsticks, and then share them slowly.
