In some areas, do you think it is appropriate to invite bands to entertain you when you have nothing to do?

This is not a question of appropriateness. Every place has different wedding, wedding and funeral customs. In your opinion, inviting a band is a kind of entertainment, but in others' view, inviting a band is a way to "send the elderly" and a custom of others. You can disagree and accept, but you are not qualified to judge others.

As far as I know, white things, including old people who died at home, are generally divided into ordinary funerals and weddings. It is said that only people over 80 can hold weddings and funerals after death. During the funeral, not only the band, but also the troupe or other performance teams should be invited to perform. Because the local custom is that the old man died over 80 years old, which is considered to be a natural death, and the semi-burial is to celebrate the "longevity" of the deceased and express congratulations. Like some prominent families, the death of the elderly in the family is a major event, and the scale is no less than marrying a daughter-in-law and being the top student in high school. It's just someone else's custom.

Besides, not everyone can do weddings. If an ordinary person dies, relatives and friends around him will come to see the deceased for the last time, but they will never hold a banquet or invite a band. However, when people get together and form a kinship relationship between the family and the extended family, there is a blood relationship between the clan and the in-laws, and the elders in the clan or the venerable old people in the village have passed away, which needs to be handled by the whole village. Because this kind of people have virtue before their lives, they have to do a lot of things after their death, and inviting a band just hopes to send the old man the last journey through this form.

In the traditional funeral, the relatives of the deceased are immersed in grief. The relatives and friends who come to attend the funeral and memorial service, one is to see the old man off for the last trip, and the other is to help the families of the deceased deal with the aftermath and present "silk gold". Here, I want to explain that silk gold corresponds to gift money. Money for happy events is called "gift money" and money for funerals is called "silk gold". Therefore, it is also a custom for people to invite bands to perform at funerals. This is not a question of appropriateness, but a question of habit.
