Common sense after death

1. What should I pay attention to after death?

What is the first seven days? On the seventh day after death, my soul will come back home to make a final memory, and my family will prepare my favorite food and objects for the deceased as a final tribute. China calls this day the first seven days.

The first seven, 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 is customary for everyone to think that the first seven refers to the seventh day after the death of a person. 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 it, and it will affect his reincarnation.

It is also said that when you go home at midnight 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. How does the first seven pay homage to their loved ones? The first seven is handled by the son, the second seven is the seventh, the third seven is the responsibility of the married daughter, the fourth seven is also the seventh, the fifth seven is the sacrifice of the married granddaughter, the sixth seven is also the seventh, and the seventh seven, also known as the full seven or the round seven, is handled by the son from beginning to end, and the merits are complete.

due to the busy work of industrial and commercial development, modern people sometimes shorten the 7749 days, taking it as 24 days. The way is "the first seven days" and "July 77" are seven days each, and every other day is "seven", which is 24 days. During the mourning period, people don't celebrate the festival before going to the funeral, and they don't worship on the anniversary of their ancestors. Except for those who live on July 49 as the last seven days, those who don't live on July 49 are known as "the dead will soon live", which is usually as short as six days from July 27, so in fact, the last seven is the 43rd day.

The procedure to be done after death Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, people attached great importance to funeral etiquette, which was cumbersome and extravagant, and had a strong feudal superstition. Customs follow each other, and whether the funeral is grand or not is regarded as the measure of filial piety for the next generation.

The burial custom is wooden coffin burial. All children and grandnephews are Dai Xiao, and the period of filial piety for children is 3 years, while that for grandnephews is 1 year. Children are not allowed to shave their heads, cut their hair and make up within one year, which is called "mourning and disfigurement".

Spring Festival couplets will not be posted at home for three years. The main procedures of funeral rites include funeral rites, mourning, funeral service, funeral service, funeral ceremony, ceremony, initiation, offering sacrifices, burial, memorial service after burial, memorial service for seven days, and so on.

The funeral schedule ranges from five to seven days to as long as half a month, which is very expensive. In general, when a person is over 5 years old, the younger generation begins to make shrouds, make coffins (called "longevity coffins" and "happy coffins"), repair graves and prepare for the funeral, which is regarded as filial piety.

1. When the deceased died, his family quickly cleansed the deceased and put on a shroud, commonly known as "the deceased". Shrouds are cotton or silk cotton-padded clothes and singlets. Satin and fur are forbidden. Black is forbidden in color. The number of clothes to be worn is not double. The best one is to have seven collars, some only wear three or two, and more collars should be sewn.

the shroud should be nailed with strips of cloth, but not buttons. After wearing the shroud, give the deceased a copper coin or a pearl, and then let the deceased hold the coin in one hand and the millet cake in the other, which is called "beating the dog cake". Legend has it that it is used for the deceased to deal with hungry ghosts and evil dogs in the underworld.

Cover the body of the deceased with a quilt and cover his face with yellow paper or white cloth. Then, the coffin bed is moved to the middle of the hall, and a table is set in front of the coffin bed for a bowl full of uncooked millet dry rice, which is called "inverted rice".

After the family burned incense, paper and mourned, the children knelt beside the coffin bed to accompany the coffin. At this time, it is "obeying the ceremony."

2. After the mourner dies, immediately send someone to relatives, friends and neighbors. Most of the upper-class families in the city send out invitations first, and ask people among their relatives and friends to help with the funeral.

The funeral is handled by the Prime Minister in charge of funeral affairs, and there are also internal cabinets, external cabinets, chefs and guests. The Prime Minister sent people to send "long class notes" and obituaries to relatives and friends. The format of the obituaries requires proper titles. All the names are male, the death of the father is called "Solitary", the death of the mother is called "Sad Son", and both parents are called "Orphan Sad Son".

Some families of officials and businessmen also send out "mourning" and "behavior" with the obituaries. Mourning is a notice named by the dutiful son detailing the life of the deceased and praising his words and deeds; The statement is a biography written by a famous person for the deceased, which is used to solicit obituaries, tributes and inscriptions.

A white note is obliquely attached to the door and the house door of the mourner, which is called "door sealing". Then use a 2-foot-long straw to clip some fire paper and insert it on the big door frame.

the male funeral is inserted on the left, and the female funeral is inserted on the right, which is called "out of the list" to show that there is a funeral at home. Third, wearing mourning clothes is commonly known as "Dai Xiao".

The members of the deceased's family wore white robes, and the shoes were sewed with white cloth to cover the uppers, which were called "mourning clothes" and "wearing shoes" respectively, collectively called "breaking filial piety". The sons, daughters-in-law and unmarried daughters of the deceased should wear linen towels and tie hemp ropes outside their mourning clothes. The dutiful son wears a white cloth towel, puts a linen crown on it, and drops two cotton balls next to the towel. If the father is still alive, he nails it on the right side, while the mother is still alive, which shows extreme grief and shuts her ears to foreign affairs.

A dutiful wife and a dutiful daughter wear white cloth (called white hair) and a white rope. In the old mourning system, intimacy was regarded as an equal difference, and there were five kinds of mourning, namely, cutting down the decline, zicui, making great contributions, making small contributions, and getting rid of hemp, which were collectively called "five clothes".

Decaying is the heaviest mourning dress, with a service period of 3 years; Zicui is second only to the decline, and the service period is 1 year; The service period is 9 months, the service period is 5 months, and the service period is 3 months. 4. On the night when the guide died, his family bought various kinds of paper sticks (commonly known as colored sticks) and burned them outside the gate.

If the deceased is a male, the paper-bound horse and groom should be burned; if the deceased is a female, the paper-bound sedan chair and bearers should be burned. When burning, the children turned three times around the fire and then reversed three times, and shouted the title of the deceased while shouting: "Go to the southwest!" It is to guide the dead, also known as "burning the head of the son of man."

5. reporting to the temple is also called "sending slurry". On the day of death, the dutiful son led his descendants to carry a wooden tray, put incense burners, incense sticks and fire paper on it, carry a bucket of pulp, go to the earth temple or crossroads, burn incense and paper, and pour out water.

it is said that after death, people must go to the earth temple first and then to the underworld. This move is to bribe the land Lord to take care of the dead souls who go to the underworld and give them water as gifts to wild ghosts to prevent the dead from being bullied.

the slurry needs to be delivered for 3 days, and the last time, the son-in-law and nephew also go together. After sending the water, I went home crying, and then burned incense and paper to mourn.

6. After sending the travelling expenses and the syrup, the travelling expenses will be sent to the dead in the west. Most people in the city are at the street corner not far from the gate, and in the countryside, at the crossroads outside Zhuang, they burn some gold and silver paper foil-folded ingots, curbs and burnt paper printed with money, and then burn some paper to tie colors, including cows and horses.

2. Is there really a soul after death?

American cardiologist Rollins saved many heart patients, some of whom survived the death, and told him how the soul came out of the body after death, how it entered another world, and what it saw and heard.

These vivid experiences shocked Dr. Luo, and he began to investigate people's experiences after death. In 1976, Dr. Luo became a member of the National Professors Group of the American Heart Association, and had the opportunity to visit many countries and meet more experts, doctors and nurses from various countries. They also provided Dr. Luo with materials about patients' experiences after death, and Dr. Luo also collected materials from newspapers and periodicals.

In 1984, he published a book about his experiences after death, which aroused great interest from medical circles and ordinary Americans. This book is also translated into Chinese. It is called "Death, what's the matter?" In the investigation, Dr. Luo found that after death, people's previous experiences are roughly the same, but after entering another world, they are divided into two different places: good and bad.

They usually experience losing consciousness when being rescued, and then find themselves outside their bodies, floating under the ceiling of the roof, or moving among doctors and nurses to watch his rescue. He clearly sees everyone's clothes and actions and hears everyone's conversation, but people can't see him or touch him. Then, after passing through a very dark and long passage, no matter how fast, they can't touch the wall. Most of them meet relatives and friends who have passed away, and they will also see their own life events, acting like a movie and attending a trial.

Finally, when I reached an insurmountable fence, I had to turn back. At this moment, I suddenly felt the impact of current and chest pain, and found myself back in my body. Most of these people have changed their outlook on life since they came back to life.

some people say: I used to think that social status and wealth are the most important things in life, but now I know that neither of them is important. Material things are really nothing, and this life is nothing compared with the afterlife. In Dr. Luo's book, there are many examples of coming back from the dead. Now, I can only choose a few examples: 1) There was a doctor named Wiltz in the United States who was unconscious because of typhoid fever. He didn't breathe for 3 minutes and didn't have a heartbeat for 4 hours.

His doctor announced his death. But he came back to life and told the story of his death. He said: When I am about to leave my body, I am like a soap bubble attached to the mouth of a pipe, floating up and down and left and right, and finally I am separated from my body, floating in the air, and slowly expanding into a human style, which seems to be a translucent body with a little light blue.

when I turned and left the room, I passed the person standing at the door, my arms collided with each other, and I didn't feel pain, and the other person didn't respond. I looked back at my body and lay there straight, surrounded by people.

Two women knelt on the left and cried. I found that it was my wife and sister. I nodded and waved to them to comfort them and tell them that my soul was not dead, but they couldn't see me. I was lifted by a force, pushed forward gently, and put on an air road. Later, a huge stone blocked my way.

There is a dark cloud above my head. Something enters the cloud, full of clouds, like a wise spirit, and gently rests on both sides of my head, telling me that this is the road to eternal life, and that boulder is the boundary, which separates the two worlds from each other. Once you walk, you can't return to the physical body, but your work in this world is not finished. Go back to the physical body! I really want to go over there. As soon as I stepped out of my left foot, a dense cloud floated towards me, and when it touched my face, I was unconscious. Without much effort, I opened my eyes and realized that I was back in the body.

I am weak, but I clearly remember what happened just now. 2) A hypertensive heart patient died suddenly. After he was resuscitated, he said, When you rescued him, I felt myself leaving from the direction of my head and floating in the air. Later, I stood aside gently and watched the nurse try her best to * * * my chest.

Soon two more nurses came in. One wore a rose on his uniform. Then the doctor was called. He took off his coat and replaced the nurse to press my chest. He wore a blue striped tie. The room began to get dark, and I found myself walking quickly through a dark corridor.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a severe chest pain, and I knew I had returned to my body. Later, another death occurred. Afterwards, he said that when my chest ached violently again, the room became dark again, and he floated to the far corner of the room, looking down close to the ceiling, and saw my body lying straight. The nurse pushed an electrocardiogram machine and an electric shock instrument, and a tube was inserted into my nose. I guess it came from an oxygen cylinder, and another tube was inserted into my arm.

Then, I went through a dark tunnel and soon saw the light. In the vast sky, I flew freely like a bird. There is a river below. I flew along the river and saw a beautiful city. The streets were paved with shiny gold. I landed on a street, and people surrounded me to welcome me. They wore shiny clothes and looked happy.

someone came to me. It was my dead parents. At this moment, I was awakened and returned to my body. I really hope to stay there and not come back.

3) An assistant engineer fell into the lake and was rescued after 45 minutes. He said this about his experience after death: From this world, I am dead, but I am alive in another world, and I didn't waste time. After my soul left my body, I still remember clearly what I saw and experienced. I stood by a lake of sulfur fire, and the blue flames were rolling as far as the eye could see. I saw some dead relatives and friends, as well as a primary school classmate. He died of cancer. They were all in pain, and no one wanted to talk. The horror in my heart could not be described. I had to tell everyone what I had witnessed.

4) A rural postman suffered from a strange heart disease. When Dr. Luo gave him a stress test, his heart stopped beating and died silently. During the rescue, as soon as he woke up, he screamed: I am in hell! When other patients woke up, they cried, Get your hands off me! You're hurting me.

But this patient, on the other hand, kept begging: Don't stop! As soon as you let go, I will go back to hell. Please don't let me go back to hell! His face was full of panic, his face was scary, and he was shivering and sweating like his hair was about to stand on end.

3. Where do people go after death

According to our common sense, when people die, they have nothing.

but is it really what we think? Do people really have souls, and will they be reincarnated after death? Will it really enter another country? Do people have souls? Is the soul and body one? Science has confirmed that people will experience near-death when they die, and what is usually called out-of-body experience is often part of near-death experience. When a person dies in extreme proximity, he will feel that the soul is separated from the body.

As Hemingway, a famous American writer, said, "At that time, I felt my soul coming out of my body, just like pulling it out of my pocket with a corner of a silk handkerchief. The silk handkerchief floated around and finally returned to the old place and entered the pocket. "

Many people who came back from near-death rescue can clearly describe the scene when they were rescued after regaining consciousness. It stands to reason that those who are in a state of dying have been judged to have stopped their activities and lost consciousness, and they should not know what is happening around them, but the facts always make people feel unbelievable.

Out-of-body experiences, especially for us in China, are no strangers. In countless TV dramas and folklore, we have been very clear about what it represents.

The soul is separated from the body. You can think, see things around you, hear sounds around you, and even go anywhere you want. There are many experiments on soul out-of-body in history.

the first person in the world who proved the existence of "soul" by scientific experiments was the British doctor Sam? Panyr. He put a board on the ceiling above the operating table where the patient was rescued, and put some small objects on the board.

He thinks that if the patient is really out of body when he is dying and can see the doctor save himself, he should also be able to see the objects placed on the board. The experimental results were successful, and seven patients were able to clearly tell their own "what the soul saw after leaving the body, and can clearly describe the objects on the small board".

In our country, it seems that there is no professional team to study this field. Of course, even if there is a team in this field,
