Strange funeral customs in the sixth grade composition of Xiangxiang

I have been in Xiangxiang for several years. Although I don't know how many customs there are here, I was deeply impressed by the unique funeral customs in Xiangxiang.

My family lives on the Lianshui River. When I first came to Xiangxiang, I saw firecrackers, gongs and drums everywhere, and a big team passed by my house. I thought it was a parade, and my neighbor's aunt told me that someone died. This is the custom of Xiangxiang. Someone died, and it takes three to six days to hold a big funeral. When I was wondering, I didn't expect our family to experience it.

My dear grandma died in Xiangxiang. I still remember when she died, my godfather told us, "The funeral customs in Xiangxiang are different from those in your north. What do you think is appropriate? " Mom and dad did not hesitate to say to their dry dad, "Then do as the Romans do!" " ! Please help us to do it. "

The godfather family is our closest family to Xiangxiang. They are not afraid of any taboos. They took grandma to her home in the village, held a funeral there and prepared a cemetery for her. Our whole family is very grateful to them. In this way, the godfather organized a funeral for grandma that we had never seen before.

First of all, the dry dad invited the "immortal" and the doer to the home, and grandma lay quietly in the coffin. We all said goodbye to grandma in Dai Xiao, and then for three days in a row, we set up a small stage in the yard, blowing, singing and dancing. Many people in the village are watching the excitement, but the death of my grandmother has given me a great blow, and I have been immersed in grief. I am very confused about this. Every family does this, and it is also the best way for us to miss the dead. "Although I'm not used to this practice. However, I still follow this complicated process. Every time we listen to Master's "eulogy", we have to pay three respects and knock nine times. When I listen to the eulogy, I must kneel on my knees to show filial piety. Although I don't understand a word, I will still burst into tears when I listen to the master's "eulogy". I miss my grandmother very much and "worship the bridge". No one can answer me. My beloved grandmother left me forever, and she will never come back.

In fact, Xiangxiang people attach great importance to funerals, and this custom is beyond my description in a word or two, because I have experienced this custom and seen many funerals around me, so I don't know much about it. The funeral customs here are really strange. I remember that if a relative died in the north, just send it to a funeral home, have a memorial service and be cremated. It's simple. Maybe one side has the custom of the other side! In any case, the dead are the biggest.

We should do as the Romans do and respect this peculiar local custom!
