What do you mean by throwing an old basin?

Old funeral. The mourner throws a clay pot, and then the coffin lifts the bar, which is called "falling mourning". Also known as "throwing away old pots". The 13th time in A Dream of Red Mansions: "There is a little girl named Zhu Zhu. Because Qin has no family, he is willing to be an adopted daughter. Please be appointed as a funeral driver. "

It is said that Fan Li, the originator of ceramics industry, made a fortune by making ceramics. Every year in March and June and a half of 10, he builds a shed to send porridge to the poor, which is highly respected by the people, and more and more people learn from him to make pottery. One day, he thought: Who will I give this family business to after I die (because he has no children)? After careful consideration, I decided to invite my neighbors to talk about it. He took out the old basin made the day before and said, "What shall I do with this old basin after I die? Always give me a solution. " Everyone talked about it, and some said they would dedicate it to the emperor; Some people say it is wrapped in red silk, so take it out if you miss you. Fan Li didn't even agree. At this moment, a young man said, "Man is in things, and man is in things. At that time, I will fall for you! " Fan Li nodded and said, "Well, in a hundred years, this young man will accept my family business. Everyone gives a certificate! " "From then on, after death, someone bought a clay pot and let the eldest son of the deceased break it in front of the coffin. This is called "old pot". Whoever breaks the old pot will be invited to take over the family business.
