What is the statement of 172737?

Seventeen, twenty-seven and thirty-seven are funeral customs after death.

According to folklore, people have three souls and seven spirits. After their death, they lost one soul a year, one spirit for seven days, and seven full spirits in three years, so they have to go through the "seven periods" and the third anniversary.

It is customary to think that "the first seven" refers to the seventh day after death. It is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will go home in the first seven days, and the family should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before it comes back, and then it must be avoided. The best way is to sleep. If you can't sleep, hide under the covers. If the soul of the deceased sees his family, it will make him miss and affect his reincarnation.

The first seven people set up a memorial at home, burning incense and lighting candles for wine and food as a souvenir, and the remaining six or seven people went to the cemetery to spend paper money.

Generally, the ceremony of the third day and the fifth day is grand, relatives and friends are there, and the dutiful son wants to cry without tears; Two, four, six and other double sevens, relatives and friends don't come. The dutiful son only burns paper and doesn't cry, which is called "empty seven", especially "March 7th Festival" and "last seven". On these two July 7 days, relatives and friends will burn paper on the grave to pay homage, and the dutiful son will cry. The last seven days are also called the last seven days. Most mourners should recite the scriptures, and relatives and friends should also send money, incense, paper, wax and gold and silver barrels to pay their respects.

"Burning Seven" is called "rushing seven" or "committing seven" if it meets the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh days of the summer calendar. It is considered that the deceased "has disasters on every seventh day, but it is difficult to rush seven".

In Yaoxian County in Guanzhong and Danfeng County in southern Shaanxi, besides the taboo period, it is also taboo to meet with "Burning Seven" on the eighth, eighteenth and 28th of each month. As the saying goes, "Every seven meets eight, copper hammer and iron hairpin; Burn seven and nine, and King Yan will will buy you a drink. " It is believed that Rebecca will torture the dead on the day when the burning seven meets seven and eight. In this case, he should pay homage one day earlier or one day later.

Some rural areas in Guanzhong. In case of "rushing", the dutiful son will insert a paper umbrella at the top of the tomb of the deceased to help the deceased avoid disaster.

In Yanchang County, northern Shaanxi Province, on the first afternoon of Tanabata, many white flags will be cut, and children and daughters-in-law will insert them into graves along the way from their homes, inviting the deceased to go home to pay homage to avoid disaster and robbery.
