There is a saying in the countryside: "If snow overtakes people, they will be distinguished, and if they work hard in the rain, their children and grandchildren will be poor." Is this scientific?

In ancient times, people thought that a person would not be reduced to ashes after death, but would become a ghost and wander around the world.

When the time is right, he will be reincarnated and reincarnated as a human being again.

Some people think that when a person dies, people will judge whether he should go to heaven or hell according to his life's merits, and some people may become immortals after losing them.

Therefore, as early as ancient times, funeral etiquette was very popular.

Until 2 1 century, some funeral ceremonies handed down from ancient times were still widely used.

The ancients always judged the fate of a person in the first half of his life and the fate of the second half of his life according to the time and place of his death, and then invited a professional gentleman to test his good days. When should the deceased be buried?

Ancient people believed that when the deceased went to the funeral, the weather conditions of the day would determine the blessings of the deceased and the blessings of the descendants of the deceased.

As the saying goes, "Snow overwhelms people, nobles go out, and rain overwhelms future generations", which refers to the weather conditions encountered on the day of the funeral of the deceased.

People will feel very surprised when it snows at the funeral. It is a matter of eyebrows when a person encounters rainy days on the eighth day of the eighth day. Do you think this is correct?

First, "snow pressure, there must be noble people."

To understand the meaning of this proverb, we must first know how snow will affect the people who have passed away. Presumably, people have heard the story of Yuan.

When Dou E was executing the death penalty, the snow in July suddenly floated in the sky, washing away the injustice for Dou E.

Therefore, as early as hundreds of years ago, the ancients thought that snow was a symbol of whiteness and could wash away a person's grievances.

Therefore, if people are carrying the deceased to the mountain for burial, it suddenly snows in the sky, and snowflakes are still piled on the coffin board, which means that some grievances and grievances of the deceased will be washed away.

The dead are buried in peace and have the opportunity to ascend to heaven and become immortal.

The ancients even thought that there was a heavy snow in the sky when the deceased died at home, so it was an excellent symbol, because the deceased was about to become immortal and bless future generations.

Although the weather is not very good when it snows, people still can't see the road ahead because of the snowstorm at the funeral, but they think all the hard work is worth it.

Because snowflakes are pure, people attending the funeral will feel happy when they see them.

Second, "after the rain clears, future generations will be poor."

Compared with snowy days, it is unlucky to encounter rainy weather during the funeral.

As for why the ancients had such an idea, it was because it rained at the funeral, and the heavy rain would wash away the measured size of the tomb's typhoon water treasure land, which deviated from Geely's size.

The ancients were very particular about the burial place of the dead. If there is a deviation in the size of the tomb measured in advance, the feng shui of the tomb will change.

If the deceased is buried in a grave touched by Feng Shui, his luck will get worse and worse, and the deceased will only have a rare opportunity to become a fairy in the sky.

Not only that, the descendants of the deceased will be poor from generation to generation, so the ancients thought that rainy days were not suitable for funerals.

In addition, when the ancients held a funeral ceremony, it suddenly rained heavily, making the mountain road muddy and slippery.

In the process of carrying the deceased to the mountain for burial, someone slipped and hit the coffin on the ground, so this move will disturb the deceased and bring some bad luck to people.

Therefore, it is considered unlucky to hold a funeral on a rainy day.

Not only that, in ancient times, the coffin materials used by the deceased were mostly wood.

In order to show filial piety to ancestors, most people use wood that is not easy to mildew when building coffins, hoping that the remains of ancestors can be preserved for a long time.

When it rains at the funeral, it will wet the coffin and bury it in the soil. It won't be long before the coffin of the deceased will be moldy and moth-eaten.

The deceased was lying in such a coffin, and his body rotted very quickly, which was regarded as unfilial by later generations.

For various reasons, the ancients thought that if the bodies of ancestors were not well preserved, there would be no peace after they were lost. They will not bless the dead offspring of the underworld, and future generations will be poor because of this.

Summary:

As the saying goes, "When people are crushed by snow, there must be respect, it rains and their children and grandchildren are poor", which shows us some things that people who died in ancient times were taboo when they went to the funeral.

With the high development of society, the etiquette used in ancient times for funerals is no longer practical in 2 1 century.

In the 2 1 century, people held funerals for the dead. Although they also held many ceremonies, they did not believe in feudal superstition.

This proverb contains a lot of superstitions. As Chinese children, we just need to understand it and not believe it too much.
