Historical background of tree burial

From ancient times to the present, except for ethnic minorities and Buddhism, the Han nationality and most ethnic minorities generally practice the combination of cremation and burial. The reason why people, whether official or non-official, choose this method and will remain unchanged is mainly influenced by the thought of "being buried in the ground" and traditional customs. The only function of traditional funeral methods is to entrust relatives with the memory of the deceased, while modern tree burial can not only entrust grief, but also green the environment.

Tree burial is a very old burial method. Its main form is to put the deceased in a tree in the mountains or in the wild and let it weather. Later, some slightly improved methods were to put the late Chen Fang on a special scaffold. Tree burial is also called "wind burial", "hanging burial", "wood burial", "empty burial" or "hanging burial" because the body is reserved for the weather. Tree burial is a reflection of tree dwelling, therefore, tree burial is also a relic of primitive life in funeral customs.
