What are the common funeral customs in rural areas? What's the point?

Funeral customs in southern Fujian are luxurious and mysterious. As the old saying goes, I ate Suzhou and Hangzhou and died in Quanzhou. In fact, the funeral specifications in Quanzhou area are very luxurious. It can be said that in ancient times, people attached great importance to funeral.

1, funeral People are buried when they die. Buried clothes are very particular and must be singular. We usually have seven coats and three pairs of trousers here. If you meet a person with a very long life or a very high position, you must have 9 shirts and 5 pairs of pants. In case of short-lived or accidental death, there are 5 coats and 3 pairs of trousers. These have specific specifications and can't be used casually. Moreover, the number of shrouds is not an ordinary algorithm, and one layer is counted. Some clothes are double-decked, so they are two.

Step 2 wake up. In Quanzhou, the wake usually starts in three days. If someone goes to the funeral without stopping for three days in a row, he will be stabbed in the back. Besides, I want to cry for three days, and my daughter has been crying for three days since seven in the morning. If you can't cry now, you just invite people to mourn. Ten minutes, 50 yuan. Rich people will invite them all day. If you have no money, you will cry and ask again later, but it will cost you hundreds of dollars more if you get cheaper every day.

3. funeral greetings. This year, two old people died in the house next door to me. One is the band of 19 and the other is the band of 27. It is our custom to invite bands to entertain at funerals, but wreaths are not so popular. There are various forms of bands, such as western music, waist drum, Huian girl and so on. A group of about 20 people basically costs about 3000 yuan. The more people, the more expensive the price. Although it is expensive, the scene is very lively.

4. Funeral. We have a funeral here, and we have to carry the coffin. undertaker walks around the village road together, and then walks around the village road for about 3 kilometers, so that the coffin can be put on the hearse. And walking on the road, all bands can't break, they must play from beginning to end. And every time I walk, I have to stop the coffin and let the children kneel down and cry. I went to see my godmother off, and my knees were swollen all the way.
