Is there a saying that old people are buried?

China is a country of etiquette, which attaches great importance to filial piety, and the common people are also quite particular about the etiquette of the old man's death. Especially when the old man dies and needs to be buried, we should not only choose the right date, but also pay attention to the date of burial. Especially when buried, if there are some visions around, people often have a lot of interpretations. For example, the weather at that time or what happened around it, some were ominous, some were auspicious, and according to folk sayings, it had a great influence on future generations. Let's talk about the three good signs of burial.

First, buried in rainy days.

Many people think that the best weather on the day of burial is the clear sky in Wan Li, which is more convenient for people to attend the funeral. But from the perspective of feng shui, rainy days are a good sign of burial. In most cases, rain has always been a symbol of wealth, and it is the aura that heaven and earth give to everything. Burying in rainy days means that the descendants of the elderly are very blessed and will be rich. Especially those who have business at home, don't complain when burying the elderly in rainy days, because this may be a good omen for the future.

Second, look at the snakes in the cemetery.

Snakes are often regarded as cold-blooded animals in life, and they will avoid them even in the wild. However, when people are buried, if they see snakes around the cemetery, don't panic, let alone catch them. Instead, they should avoid snakes and let them go back to the mountains. Because snakes are actually very spiritual animals, they are also called "earthworms". If a snake appears in the new grave, it means that some people in the future will be able to make a fortune, and it is very likely that they will be promoted to a higher position.

Third, the cock crows.

In some rural areas of our country, there is a custom when the old man is buried, that is, when two cocks are ready to kill one first and the other cock crows, it means that the old man is very blessed. The rooster stands for "Phoenix". If the song at the time of burial stands for "the combination of dragon and phoenix", it is auspicious in geomantic omen, and the descendants of the old people will be very blessed in the future.

Matters needing attention in burial of the elderly

There are many taboos about funeral among the people. There are auspicious signs when burying, so there are also some places to pay attention to. When the old man dies and is buried, we should pay attention to the following situations so as not to be unfavorable to his family.

First, "warm the well" in advance.

Before the new grave is buried, the dutiful son should burn it with platycodon grandiflorum and put it into a "warm well" in the grave, and then put the coffin or ashes of the old man into the grave.

Second, keep the coffin flat.

In the past, people paid special attention to the graves of the elderly, and there were many taboos when burying coffins. Make sure that the coffin is flat when buried. For example, the coffin head is down, which is not good for the big room, and the coffin tail is not good for the younger son.

Third, pay attention to the umbrella to keep out the sun.

When the coffin or ashes of the old man are buried, we should pay attention to covering the sun with an umbrella, even if it is cloudy. According to the folk saying, holding an umbrella during burial is to let the old man be buried safely and not disturb his soul.

As for the time, the morning is suitable. There are many folk sayings about the etiquette of burial. Although these are superstitions, they have spread for many years and become the folk culture of the Chinese nation. For reference only.
