Why are funeral ceremonies so grand in some rural areas?

A word "filial piety" condenses the essence of Chinese traditional virtues. Filial children should not only let their parents enjoy their old age, but also let the elderly rest in peace according to their own wishes after a hundred years, so funerals in our countryside are usually very lively and grand. This is very different from the funeral in the city. Generally speaking, the simpler the funeral in the city, the better. Some experts don't understand this. They think that funerals in rural areas are lively because there is a wind of comparison in rural areas.

The old farmer was surprised that the experts said such a thing. Funerals in rural areas should be lively and grand, not only to let the dead rest in peace, but also to follow the funeral culture in rural areas. This is a funeral rule in rural areas. Is it wrong to respect traditional culture? Don't you know that funerals in rural areas have many other rules besides excitement? In the countryside, funerals are exquisite. The more lively the funeral, the smoother the old people walk on the road. The deep thoughts of loved ones accompanied the deceased to the pure land in the warm sound of gongs and drums. Such a grand and solemn ceremony needs a respected "capable person" in the village. Rural people believe that a grand funeral can rest the dead and add blessings to filial children.

Rural people believe that people will ascend to heaven after death, so in the days after death, vigil has become a solemn ceremony for children to honor the elderly. Children should wait in front of the old man's soul with a sincere and filial heart, leave lights in the old man's room, and let the old man's soul see the bridge between heaven and home. Miss the dead, often think of the past. Don't mention good or bad at this time. Emotionally speaking, the old man has paid so much for us all his life. How can children be qualified to discuss the faults of the elderly? Moreover, at this time, children should bid farewell to the elderly with a blessed heart. In addition, from the traditional customs, some people think that there will be imps when mourning, and it will bring bad luck if you don't speak!

Tears represent the thoughts of relatives for the deceased. Don't cry when the old man goes into the coffin! In the eyes of the rural elderly, the tears in the coffin will make the elderly walk unsteadily and affect the six divisions in the wheel of karma! The old farmer told the rules of rural funeral, which made the experts speechless. But the most important thing is to give the elderly enough care and let their parents enjoy family happiness while they are alive. This is the real filial piety. In this impetuous era, filial piety deserves everyone's attention. We should honor our parents well, and don't wait until "the son has to support and the relatives are absent" to regret it.
