Question 1: Why do people pass seven after death? The process from the dead to the dead, from the eighth consciousness to the reincarnation is called "Yin-body". The so-called "former yin has faded, the latter yin has not arrived, and the middle yin is now before." "The former yin has thanked that this period of life has been exhausted, and the latter yin has not arrived, which means that it has not been reborn. Generally speaking, there is a bardo after death. However, the great good and the great evil are not. A person actively does good deeds and practices seriously before his death, and has deep confidence in the Three Treasures and the Pure Land. After he dies, he doesn't need to go through the Yin stage, and he dies in an instant. Ascending to heaven and going to hell are also equivalent to this speed. I didn't know Buddhism before my death, but I practiced ten good deeds, and I was a good person in the world. After a hundred years, I was reborn in heaven instantly. During his lifetime, he committed crimes, burned and plundered, _ hated and resented, and took bribes. These extremely evil people eventually went straight to hell. As for those who are greedy, they fall into ghosts.

There are different customs and legends in different areas. From the date of the death of the deceased, the funeral home will be held every seven days to burn paper as a memorial, * * * seven times, commonly known as "burning seven times." Generally speaking, "March 7" and "May 7" are more important, and relatives and friends should also send some paper and candles. There is also a ceremony of "returning evil spirits" (also known as "returning disasters"). According to the old custom, people's souls still exist after death. In 7749 days ago, the ghost of the deceased had to go home once, and the specific time was calculated by the Taoist priest. At that time, the funeral home will arrange the incense and wine, and spread a layer of charcoal ash or plant ash on the ground to test the footprints of the deceased. With a bamboo pole and a sticker every foot, stand on the doorstep or insert it under the eaves of the dead man's house. It is said that the ghost will enter the house when he sees this. Put a boiled egg in a clay can in the corner of the house to bribe the god of disaster (commonly known as chicken feet) and let the ghost of the deceased stay at home for a while. At this time, a family, old and young, is far away. After the specified time has passed, a string of firecrackers will be thrown into the house first, and then they can enter the house after the explosion. On the centenary and anniversary, paper will be burned to pay homage. Half a year or a year after death, do another Dojo for the deceased.

According to folklore, people have three souls and seven spirits. After they die, they lose one soul one year, one spirit seven days, three years and seven full spirits, so they have to go through the "seven periods" and the third anniversary.

Because people don' t become ghosts immediately after death, there are 7749 days to be a respite period, which is called Yin-body at this time. The purpose is, 1 Let the dead people go home to see that the door keeper won' t stop their Yin-body from entering the house, and those who are caught by mistake can be brought back to life to avoid unjust, false and wrongful cases, and only after 49 days can they really become ghosts.

Question 4: What do you mean by July 17 to July 7 after the death of the old man? People start from death as a day. For example, the old man is gone today, so today is the first day, overnight is the second day, and every seven days is a "seven". Generally speaking, the first seven funerals are held [the old people have to stay at home for seven days, and special circumstances can be advanced or postponed, but they can only be decided after Mr. Yin and Yang have seen them], which means that after our mother gave birth to us, we will do housework by ourselves in seven days. Generally speaking, there is nothing particular about Erqi. When it comes to Sanqi, the family will get together to remember the merits of the old man. It won't be four or seven. By May 7th, that is, 5*7=35 days, that is, we were born with a "full moon", which also requires everyone to get together and have a good life. Six or seven, but ... After July 7th arrives, everyone will have a good cry in the graveyard, because after July 7th, our mourning period will expire, so there is no need to celebrate the "July 7th" anniversary. After July 7th, it will be the centenary taboo and anniversary taboo.

Question 5: What does the first seven mean after death? The funeral custom of China people is based on the time of the deceased's death and the date and hour calculated by heavenly stems and earthly branches. However, it needs to be clearly pointed out that the "first seven" should be counted from the moment the relatives "leave", and 24 hours after 7 days is the first seven.

The first seven: China people's funeral custom, it is customary to think that "the first seven" refers to the seventh day after death. It is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will return home in the first seven days. Family members should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before it returns, and then they must avoid it. The best way is to sleep. If you can't sleep, you should hide under the bed. If the soul of the deceased sees his family, it will make him miss, and it will affect his reincarnation. It is also said that when you go home on the first seven days, your family should burn a ladder-shaped thing at home and let your soul follow this "ladder" to the sky.

Question 6: What are the sayings that people bump into seven after death? They are also called "fasting seven", "managing seven", "burning seven", "doing seven", "doing one day" and "July seven". The old funeral customs of Han nationality were popular all over the country. That is, after a person dies (or after a funeral), a coffin seat is set up from the "first seven days" for the wood owner to cry and worship every day, and to offer sacrifices in the morning and evening. Every seven days, a Buddhist ceremony is held, and a fasting ceremony is held, which ends in turn on the 49th day of "July 7". This custom has not been recorded in the Han Dynasty, and it is related to the introduction of Buddhism into China. It was practiced in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but remained unchanged in later generations. Buddhism "Yoga Theory" says that after death, in order to seek fate, seven days is the first period. If the fate cannot be born at the end of the seventh day, it will last for seven days, and one place will be born at the end of the seventh day, so there is a "July 7" period and the custom of pursuing recommendations every seven days. On the one hand, people are born in July as wax, one wax becomes one spirit, and after 7749, they become seven spirits; Death is taboo for seven days, one taboo and one soul scattered, and seven souls disappeared after 7749 days, which is the theory of Taoist soul gathering and scattering. The seventh seven days are also called "breaking seven", "doing seven" and "full seven" by the people. More attention is paid to the first seven, the fifth seven and the last seven. Biography of Northern History Hu Guozhen: "From the beginning of the imperial edict to July 7th, all of them set up a thousand monks' fasting." Sun Linghui's Biography of the Northern Qi Dynasty: "After the death of Chuo (Nanyang King), from the seventh day to the end of the hundred days, Linghui always invited a monk to set a fast for Chuo." "Peony Pavilion. Meet Mother": "How do you know that he is a pair of lovers when he is empty?" The fifth chapter of The Scholars: "Since then, four or five thousand taels of silver have been spent on fasting, managing seven days, opening funerals and going out." The fourth time: "Time flies, the period of July 7th has passed." See "Spring Rain" by Yoshida Yoshida.

According to the ancient funeral custom, the coffin should be stopped for at least three days. It is said that I hope the dead can come back to life. If you can't be resurrected in three days, your hopes will be completely shattered. In fact, it took a long time to stop the funeral, because the funeral was complicated at that time, especially the emperors, who needed huge tombs and a large number of funerary objects, which required a lot of manpower and time. Besides, parents should be buried together after death. If the father dies without knowing the mother's tomb and the mother dies without knowing the father's tomb, the deceased should be buried temporarily until the father's tomb or the mother's tomb is found. It's hard to say when the coffin will be parked.

After modern times, coffins are generally buried after the seventh day. People think that people don't know that they are dead until seven days after death, so they have to hold a sacrifice every seven days, and it won't end until 7749. This is mainly influenced by Buddhism and Taoism.

Buddhism believes that, except for those who commit the most heinous crimes and go to hell immediately, those who have a lot of good deeds will ascend to heaven immediately, and their souls generally cannot be reincarnated immediately. Undead without metempsychosis is not a ghost, but a body in the process from death to metempsychosis, waiting for the chance of metempsychosis to mature. Therefore, if filial piety or relatives and friends can invite monks to do some Buddhist services for him in the seven periods after death, the deceased can be reincarnated to a better place. Therefore, Buddhism advocates that it is best to turn over the undead in the July 7th period. If, after the July 7th period, the category of afterbirth of the dead has been finalized, and Buddhist services are performed again, it will only increase his blessing, but it will not change the category of afterbirth. If a person did a lot of evil before his death, he was destined to support animals in the next life. When he died in July 7th, if his filial relatives and friends did great Buddhist services for him, so that he could hear monks chanting scriptures, repent now and be good, he could be saved from being an animal and be reborn as a human being. Taoism also believes that it is best to turn over the undead before his seven spirits are exhausted.

There are many specific etiquette during the seventh period, and there are practices in various places. In Guangzhou, the fifth seven days of the old funeral custom must be returned by a married woman, and the cost of this day is entirely borne by the married woman. If the deceased has no married woman, it will be done by a married niece or grandniece. The first seven days, the third seven days and the seventh seven days after death are called Daqi. There is a custom of walking seven times in this day's memorial service, that is to say, in this day's memorial service, the married daughter and daughter-in-law each carry a lantern and race like a kite in the prescribed ceremony, striving for the first one to run home, commonly known as fighting for heroes, thinking that the soul of the deceased can protect the well-being. Because people think that although people are dead, the soul is still as emotional as the living.

Doing seven is usually presided over by a son-in-law. In Zhejiang area, there are different hosts doing seven things. In Hangzhou, the son-in-law will handle the May 7th, while in Lin 'an and Ningbo, the son-in-law will do the June 7th. On May 7th&; quo......> >

Question 7: What do you mean by "May 7th" after death? This comes from "Doing 7th", which is also called "fasting 7th", "managing 7th", "burning 7th", "doing 7th" and "July 7th". Because the reincarnation of Buddhist observers is usually completed within 7749 days, the funeral customs dominated by Han nationality have gradually formed and become popular all over the country. People divide the forty-nine days after the death of their loved ones into seven seven days (hence the name "July 7th"), and each seven days will be held with different ceremonies to pay homage to their ancestors. From the first seven days, a coffin will be set up for the wood owner to cry and worship every day, and a Buddhist ceremony will be held every seven days, and a fast will be held to pay homage to the ancestors, and then the spirit will be removed on the forty-ninth day of July 7th. So when you say "May 7th", you mean the fifth seven days after the death of a person, that is, the period from the 28th to the 35th.

In most places during the May 7th Movement, filial piety was still held as a memorial, and the ceremony was quite grand. A ceremony of "filling and returning" will be held in Zhangping. "Repay" means "repay", which means to repay the kindness of parents. Please ask the monks and Taoist priests to recite the scriptures and worship the confessions. The short time is one day and night, and the long time is seven days and nights. Wealthy families will also set up a "patrol library", that is, incinerate a lot of spiritual treasures, paper money, paper men, paper horses, etc. for the newly deceased relatives and other ancestors to enjoy.
