Is there any saying about whether people who died during the Dragon Boat Festival are okay? Are there any taboos in Dragon Boat Festival funerals?
What is said about people who passed away on the Dragon Boat Festival? The Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese folk festival and a day for people to commemorate their ancestors. So what are the taboos in Dragon Boat Festival funerals ? May is also known as the Pu month. The most prosperous herb in May is calamus. As calamus is one of the "Four Graces of Flowers and Herbs", it is called the Pu month. If you want to know more about auspicious and inauspicious days in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, please follow Mr. Shuimo's website!What do you say about the people who died during the Dragon Boat Festival?Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. Birth and death are not determined by human beings themselves, so there is no good or bad . We can only wish the dead to rest in peace and the living to mourn. What we can do is to arrange the funeral for the deceased and celebrate the first seven days of mourning well.1. The seventh night after the death of the deceased is the first time the soul returns to the world of the living to visit his or her relatives after death. The 49th day after the death is the bardo period of the deceased, and the consciousness of the deceased in the world of the living has not been completely cut off. To put it in plain words, the deceased within the 49th day after the death does not know that he or she is dead, and cannot be called a ghost. Therefore, the first thing to note on the seventh night of the return of the soul is that the family members of the deceased must remember their ancestors on this day, and must not let trivial family matters, verbal disputes or conflicts make the deceased sad and regretful, and linger in the world and refuse to leave. Second, at the midnight hour on the seventh day, there will be an ox-headed and horse-faced ghost, two big and small ghosts, and four ghost soldiers who will escort the soul of the deceased back to his home in the world of the living. On the seventh day, at the hour of Zi, one should enter the house through the window, chimney, etc.; at the hour of Hai, one should leave through the door. Descendants of the family can place offerings at home on the seventh day. Beef, horse meat and dog meat are not allowed in the offerings. A combination of meat and vegetables, the more abundant the better, is used to reward and thank the four ghost messengers and prevent them from embarrassing and oppressing the deceased. At the same time, the tribute can also include the food that the ancestor liked during his lifetime, so that he can enjoy it on the journey. Third, on the seventh day after the death of the ancestor, a bowl of clean water and a bowl of grains should be placed at the door of the filial house. The purpose of placing the clean water is to let the ancestors wash away the dust, eliminate disasters, and go on the road with peace of mind; the purpose of placing the grains is to avoid evil spirits, prevent disasters, and ward off evil spirits and bad luck. This bowl of water and a bowl of grains should be taken with you. In the morning of the next day, you can sprinkle the water directly at the door and throw the grains into the running water on the same day. On the evening of the seventh day, at the hour of Hai, all offerings, along with paper money, silver bills and other offerings, should be removed and burned at the crossroads while fasting. What are the taboos at funerals during the Dragon Boat Festival?1. It is taboo to die without relatives around. In the old days, people attached great importance to continuing the family line. They believed that when an old person died, there must be descendants present so that when the old person passed away, there would be someone to see him off and he would not be alone; the old person would not have to be worried about others in the underworld and his soul could find peace.It is the greatest blessing if an elderly person dies with all his relatives present. According to legend, the Bai people believe that when an elderly person dies in the arms of his or her children and grandchildren, it is the children and grandchildren's way of repaying their kindness in raising them, commonly known as "receiving qi." 2. It is taboo to let the deceased go naked. In many places in the north, it is taboo to dress the deceased in burial clothes before he or she dies. The deceased cannot be allowed to go naked. Therefore, in the old days, when elders reached a certain age, their children and grandchildren would often prepare burial clothes for them in the leap year so that the elders could look after them and feel at ease. The number and texture of funeral clothes are very particular. The number of pieces should be odd, such as five, seven or nine, and even numbers should be avoided for fear that the calamity will come again. Satin should be avoided as its material has the same pronunciation as "duan zi", which means "broken son". Silk should be used instead, as "silk" and "chou zi" have the same pronunciation, which means blessing future generations with many children and grandchildren. Funeral clothes cannot be made of fur for fear of being reborn as an animal in the next life. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
