The seven meals before a person's funeral are not seven dishes, but the family takes turns cooking. The night before the old man was buried, he had to eat seven meals, which means he had to walk the whole journey. The first meal should be cooked by the son, two meals by the daughter-in-law and three meals by the grandson. The following relatives should cook a meal for each person in order and cook six meals that the old man liked before his death. It means that the old man should leave a bite of rice for his children and grandchildren, but he can't eat it all.

Before the funeral, eat a "funeral meal" (mostly corn fried rice or even mixed rice) and have a "funeral". Male and female dutiful sons and their relatives and friends bow down. The eldest son or grandson puts the paper brazier (that is, the filial son basin) on his head, or kneels on his back outside the door. Yin and Yang division or the person in charge shouted "wake up" and fired. Several people will mourn.

Funeral culture

In some village customs, the dutiful son smashed the "dutiful son basin" with paper fire; Some village customs are not, and the dutiful son carried all the way to the graveyard to burn paper for future mourning. When the coffin goes out, it won't turn. At the same time, the coffin must not touch the door and door frame during lifting, otherwise it will bring bad luck.

The funeral can be said to be the saddest scene in the whole funeral. Not only all relatives will come to see the old man off for the last time, but also many people in the village will come along. Eight people took turns carrying coffins, or making way for the funeral, or holding suona, firecrackers were ringing, paper money was flying all over the sky, and the filial son and grandson cried all the way, just to let the old man walk noisily.
