Since ancient times, there has been a folk proverb that "eat in Guangzhou, wear in Suzhou, play in Hangzhou, and die in Liuzhou". Needless to say, the former is praised for its excellent and mouth-watering delicious food in Guangzhou. What did the latter say? In fact, what this "dead" praised was the quality of the ancient Liuzhou coffins. Otherwise, even the writer Gu Long specifically stated in his masterpiece of martial arts novel "Tianya Mingyue Dao" that "that is a good-quality nanmu coffin, specially imported from Liuzhou." "Bring it here" to express the importance that the novel character Gong Ziyu attaches to Fu Hongxue!

Unlike Guilin, also in Guangxi, which is famous for its "landscapes that are the best in the world", Liuzhou has attracted the attention of the world for its "death". People who don't know this may be surprised. In fact, if you understand Chinese tradition, you should know that life and death have been equally important since ancient times. Chairman Mao said, "Live great and die gloriously." Death is a major event, and burial after death is It is also a top priority in tradition. Kings have always built tombs for themselves before they died, precisely because of the importance of death. When burials were promoted in ancient China, people attached great importance to the coffins that contained the bodies. Liuzhou is famous for death precisely because its coffins are the most outstanding.
