First, pour the paper. In rural areas, when an old man dies, he must first move to the mourning hall, with his feet inward and his head outward, and put an "old basin" at the bedside to burn paper! This is the "inverted paper" to be burned after the execution!
Second, the funeral. In rural areas, coffins used to be used for burial, so in our rural areas, we should let the elderly have food or put some ancient coins or jade articles in their mouths when they die.
Third, sue the temple. After the death of the old man in the village, all the busy guests don't have to be invited. When they heard firecrackers, they naturally arrived. If the woman dies, they will turn around and report to the "closest relatives of the family", and the dutiful son will report to the ancestral grave, which is what we call "suing the temple" or "leading the soul" in rural areas!
Fourth, mourning. If the woman dies, the dutiful son will inform the deceased's "family" first, and the family will immediately tie up the "memorial arch" to mourn! But for ordinary relatives, the dutiful son will inform them one by one the next day. Under normal circumstances, the dutiful son can't enter the door, but will pay his respects!
Fifth, break filial piety. In rural areas, the so-called "breaking filial piety" means making "filial hats" and "mourning clothes" according to the distance of blood relationship. In our countryside, shoes should also be wrapped in white cloth! Among them, men are mostly "croissants", and women wrap their heads with white square towels!
Sixth, the establishment of Peng Ling. For the convenience of guests' condolences, a Peng Ling is often erected at the entrance of the mourning hall, with dutiful sons kneeling on both sides. There is a table in the middle of Peng Ling, where sacrifices are placed!
Seven, please cook. It usually takes three days for an old man to die in the countryside. At the time of the funeral, relatives came and the main family had to take care of a meal, which is what I commonly call "tofu soup"! With the change of rural customs, there are few drummers in rural areas now! However, there is still a chef.
Eight, splash soup. The night before the funeral, the eldest son is holding the coffin, and the filial son will carry half a bucket of noodle soup and splash it along the road!
Nine, break ground. In the countryside, on the morning of mourning, all the filial sons go to the selected cemetery together, starting with the eldest son, digging the first three pieces of soil, and then the busy guests will do it for him and dig a pit in the building!
Ten, wake up. That is, at the beginning of the funeral ceremony, relatives and friends send the elderly the last journey, which is generally close. To achieve "nine heads and eighteen feet", the ceremony will not officially begin until all the relatives and friends have completed the ceremony. In my opinion, this is called "funeral"!

First, break the old basin. In the funeral ceremony, the dutiful son leaned on the funeral stick and the eldest son fell on the old basin. According to rural customs, "breaking the old basin" should be completed at one time, and the more broken it is, the better!
ten
Second, the road sacrifice. At the funeral, due to the long distance and many coffins in the past, some close relatives will prepare some melons and fruits on the way and follow the team all the way to the cemetery!

Third, burial. If it rains after the burial, it is a good sign, which means "rain and snow come to the grave".
ten
Fourth, round the grave. On the third day after the funeral, the dutiful son will go to the grave to round the grave. According to the old people in the countryside, the bigger the tomb, the better, but it can't occupy other places!
ten
Verb (short for verb) mourns. In rural areas, after the funeral, there is a saying of filial piety, which will also be "May 7th", "Hundred Days" and "Memorial Day"! And you don't have to post Spring Festival couplets for the New Year. After three years, everything will be as usual!
