Why can't a person be cremated immediately after death, but the body must be moribund for three days?

The custom that has been handed down from ancient times to the present is that before the founding of New China, the body had to be kept for seven days before being buried. After the founding of New China, the number of days was reduced from seven to three days.

Because in ancient times, due to the low productivity and slow scientific development at that time, the thinking of the ancients was restricted, and they were all feudal superstitions. People had them. After death, if you want not to go to hell, you must It is said that it takes seven, seven and forty-nine days to be reincarnated.

But this statement is also well-founded in history. Everyone should believe that the miracle doctor Bian Que said that a prince of a certain country unfortunately passed away. At that time, Bian Que took a look at his body and found that the prince was not He really died. Later, when he saw that the prince was really resurrected, he realized that he had suffered from "corpse syndrome" and was almost put into a coffin and suffocated to death. After learning this lesson, everyone followed the principle of burying the body for a few days before disposing of the body after death. In order to prevent fake death, and also to give everyone enough time to prepare for the funeral and so on.

There is also such an example in reality. After the death of a seventy-year-old lady in a certain place, according to the custom there, the body was kept for three days. However, when the funeral was to be held three days later, the old lady The wife miraculously survived. The family was frightened at that time. How could anyone come back from the dead? After calming down, they asked the old lady what she had experienced. The old lady Ni Wei told her what she had experienced. Although the matter seems very mysterious, there is still a certain reason why the corpse was kept for three days.

The five thousand years of Chinese civilization have left many customs and habits from ancient times to the present. However, with the change of time, many customs began to slowly change after the founding of New China. Since ancient times, China People pay great attention to filial piety and brotherhood. Funeral is also a major family event, and there is a lot of emphasis on it.
