How many days does Quanzhou funeral usually take?

Funerals in Quanzhou usually take three days.

Being dead for three days after death is a custom handed down from ancient times in China. In fact, there is a scientific basis for staying for a few days to die, not a feudal superstition. The development of ancient social sciences was slow, and medical and health technology could not keep up. Life and death are generally diagnosed by pulse, and there are occasional deviations.

After all, some symptoms of suspended animation cannot be diagnosed at all, so if a suspended animation patient is buried immediately after death and misdiagnosed as death, it is very likely that he will wake up a few hours or a day or two later, but he will suffocate in the coffin because of being buried. It is precisely because of this incident that the custom of burial after three days of mortuary gradually formed. Most funerals last for three days, mostly crying to wake the dead.
