Especially when the deceased is a woman, it is impossible not to inform the family of the deceased, and the family can only attend the funeral when they arrive. So there is a proverb in the Yellow River Delta: "Old man, niece, old uncle." When a person is old (dead), he must inform his nephew. Apart from his children, his nephew is his closest relative. If his sister were still alive, he would keep his promise at the funeral. If a woman is old (dead), she must first inform her family and explain the cause of death. Then, the dutiful son got up and walked back without looking back. After sending the old man's soul on the road, how the old man ran to Fengdu City is not a matter of death, nor does it need the care of the dead. What the dead have to do is to make all the preparations before waking up.

As for "the dutiful son does not look back"! This is the custom of the Han nationality. It is very important, that is to say, if the dutiful son turns back, he will follow (die)! Not only can't you look back at the funeral, but you can't dress the dead with pockets at the funeral! It means never let the dead take away any generation!
