In the traditional funeral custom in China, after the death of a long-lived old man, all family members should make sacrifices for him. The first seven of them are well known, that is, it is also very important to set up a coffin for worship on the seventh day after the death of the old man. So, what should I do if the old man dies?

Sanqi refers to the third seven days after the death of the old man, which is tied for the third seven days with the first seven days and the last seven days. It is one of the three most important days in the funeral custom, where you have to sacrifice to heaven and do things. Among them, on March 7, relatives need to put all the tributes and fruits in front of the coffin of the elderly before noon, and the youngest child in the family will light candles and provide three meals for the elderly. Especially on March 7, relatives will hold a ceremony to pick up the dead after providing meals. Now, they usually call out their names to the old man for their relatives and tell him a commemorative word. Finally, they folded some gold ingots, wrote down the name of the deceased old man, and burned them with ghost paper to the deceased old man.

On the 37th day of the old man's death, there will be tributes and fruit offerings, and a ceremony to pick up the dead will be held after three meals a day. Finally, we should burn some gold ingots and paper money for the old man to comfort his spirit in heaven and express the thoughts of future generations for the old man.
