Then, immediately notify the children outside, and send people and soldiers to visit the old and new relatives in several ways. When relatives get bad news, they will rush to the door to pay their respects. Guanzhong people call it "mourning".
When people die and fall, the main family must first seek yin and yang, and when they are buried. Master Yin and Yang came, holding a piece of paper in his left hand and a thumb wheel needle in his right hand. First, he walked around the house, so that he could press the yellow paper on the stones in the house and wrap a twine around the tree. After the selection, white ash was sprinkled, and the tomb was selected to break ground. Then he went back to the main house, chose the burial time, marked the names and burial time of his children, granddaughters and cousins with a piece of white cloth, hung it in front of the main house, and informed relatives and friends and people in the village who came to pay their respects.
The folk customs of white things in northern Shaanxi are as follows:
The people of northern Shaanxi who live on the Loess Plateau have lived on the loess for generations and were buried in the loess after their death. The traditional burial custom also continues in all parts of northern Shaanxi, which is the etiquette custom for the dead. When the average old man is over 60 years old, he starts to buy coffins and make shroud.
When the old man died, he rolled up his clothes and used bedding and hung them on the wall. Outside the gate, the "age paper" (a piece of paper cut into strips according to the age of each year, and a long red note tied into a bundle) reports the funeral to the world. The dutiful son wears mourning clothes, that is, a gown made of white gauze, a hemp rope around his waist, a white gauze hat on his head and white shoes on his feet.
