What are the funeral banquets?

There are funeral banquets, May 7th Banquet, Hundred Days Banquet, First Anniversary Banquet, Second Anniversary Banquet and Third Anniversary Banquet. It only says funeral banquet here. After the death of the elderly in the family, inform the family members and their immediate neighbors first, and then inform relatives and friends. It is usually buried three times (the third day after death) and ignited on the first day. Busy people usually stew vegetables in a large pot with white rice and steamed bread, and some add a few hot and cold dishes, but there are also many forms of buffet.

On the third day, the table was opened to entertain relatives and friends who came to mourn. Generally, relatives and friends are running mats, and they can eat and walk. After the funeral, grandma's family and distinguished guests took their seats and began to sit at the main table accompanied by our family. Generally, a funeral banquet consists of sixteen dishes, eight hot and eight cold, plus an egg soup. Cold dishes are generally four meats and four vegetables, and desserts, red meat and whole chickens and ducks are avoided. Hot dishes are mostly six meats and two vegetables, fish without carp, chicken without chicken feet, meat without soy sauce, braised in soy sauce, avoiding chop suey, shrimp, pumpkin and vegetables. The order of serving is hot first and then cold, commonly known as "pulling cows backwards".

When the dutiful son invited him to dinner and kowtowed to the table, the funeral banquet began. People attending the party don't wear red clothes, talk loudly, make a loud noise, and don't argue for wine. It is normal to have no wine. Even if the main family prepared thin wine, no one respected him. They can drink as much as they want, so they seldom talk and eat quickly. As soon as the egg soup came, they left the table at once.

Funeral is sad, and the funeral banquet is just a meal. There is no need to dilute this sad atmosphere, and it is neither fish nor fowl, which makes people laugh.
