A memorial service is a memorial service for the dead. China's traditional culture pays attention to "pursuing the future with caution", and paying homage to it is a manifestation of China people's filial piety culture.

Early the next morning after the funeral, Wenxi and other places in Jinnan paid attention to the family sending meals to the grave to pour wine, indicating that the deceased in the Qing Dynasty had dinner with their families again. In Yicheng area, when family members go to the cemetery for sacrifice the next day, they should add new soil to the grave with a spade to make the front and back of the grave straight and unbiased, commonly known as "supporting the mountain". After the burial in Taiyuan, it was not until three years later in Tomb-Sweeping Day that soil was allowed to be added to the grave. The customs of the two places are different.

Adding soil and giving paper to new graves, most places in Shanxi are called "Fu San" on the third day after the dead are buried, also known as "round graves" and "warm graves". Generally, the eldest son of the deceased leads the whole family. In some places, all relatives who have "clothes" go, such as Hequ in Xinzhou, where relatives and friends take hot pot and cypress to the graveyard for a party and return after eating.

From the date of death, there must be a memorial service every seven days, which is called "doing seven" or "passing seven". Where 17 is called "top seven", 37 is also called "scattered seven", and 57 and 77 are also called "full seven", "broken seven" or "exhausted seven", which is more important.

On the day of "17", a memorial tablet was set up for the families of the deceased and a grand ceremony was held.

On the seventh day of March, the children of the deceased should hold incense, call the deceased at the fork in the road, or burn incense in front of the grave to lead the deceased home.

"May 7th", people think that on this day, the deceased went home to "visit relatives". In addition to holding a memorial service, they also invited monks and Taoists to chant Buddhist scriptures, and relatives and friends came to offer their condolences. In Qixian County, Jinzhong, the male deceased steamed one more "Lotus" and the female deceased steamed one more "Ruyi". Paper flowers and paper-cut flags were made according to the age of the deceased, and a "liter" was posted. The paper flag was pierced with straw stalks and inserted all the way into the cemetery from the door.

On July 7, the funeral home held a grand memorial service, and friends and relatives came to burn paper or worship at the grave.

The100th day after a person's death or burial is also a grand day to worship heaven. On this day, people who wear bulk density mourning clothes should wear regular mourning clothes, and most people take off their mourning clothes. In Qixian and other places, paper is bound to be a "bucket", as the saying goes, "Five or seven liters, a hundred days bucket ..."

After a person's death, his children will mourn for three years, commonly known as "taking three", and the first anniversary of burning paper is called "anniversary" or "anniversary burning", which was called "Xiaoxiang" in ancient times. The second anniversary is called "Daxiang", and we will also go to the cemetery to offer sacrifices. After the third anniversary, the relatives and friends of the deceased came, each with offerings and paper.

After the third anniversary, the children of the deceased can take off their mourning clothes and put on ordinary clothes. Therefore, the third anniversary is also called "undressing" or "removing filial piety", which was called "Tantan" clothes in ancient times. According to tradition, the funeral etiquette has officially ended.
