Jintan District belongs to Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, which is located in the south of Jiangsu Province. Changzhou is an area that pays more attention to funeral. The main customs in the past are:

In the past, coffins were mainly used for burial. Some coffins are customized or purchased in advance, and will be placed upright at home on auspicious days. At the same time, a ceremony is held, which is called "vertical longevity" (coffins are called "longevity vessels"), when relatives die. That is, changing clothes, commonly known as "wearing old clothes." The rich also burned a paper sedan chair and two paper bearers, commonly known as "burning sedan chairs." At the time of death, the family wailed, moved the body to the board, covered their heads with white cloth, lit "ghost lights", put rulers, scales, mirrors, screens and other things, put a table in front of the board, put a bowl of half-cooked rice, and put an egg on the rice, commonly known as "handstand". Burn paper ingots and scrolls and send people to relatives and friends for a "funeral". Someone asked Yin and Yang to calculate the auspicious time of his death. Within three to five days, family members will wear hemp and set up a mourning hall in Dai Xiao, and relatives and friends will come to pay their respects and send couplets as a token of filial piety, commonly known as "opening". The family of the deceased must return a piece of white cloth and throw it on the ground, commonly known as "filial piety".

Before his death, a dutiful son kneels down to a nearby river to get a basin or bucket of water and throws money into the river, which is called "buying water". Wash the face of the dead after buying water. Every three times, it is called "dragging three hands". Then the eldest daughter (or daughter-in-law) combed and cut the hair for the deceased, crying and singing "Combing Hair Sutra". After combing, put the comb in the coffin and bury it with him. Generally, the body is put into the coffin on the third day, which is called "small coffin"; In the middle of the night, the coffin was sealed with paint and nailed with a mulberry door nail, which was called a "gown". On this day, the funeral home hosted a banquet to entertain guests. There were hundreds of pages of tofu in the dish, which became a "hard meal". When the late God is the master of the memorial tablet, the word "master" must be kissed by the dignitaries with a brush, which is called "point master". On the day of the funeral, relatives wear mourning clothes (divided into "five clothes", that is, broken decline, Cui Zi, great achievements, small achievements, numbness), and the dutiful son wears hemp Dai Xiao, ties a straw rope around his waist, and crawls with the coffin holding a "funeral stick"; Drummers play music, and relatives and friends "mourn". Throwing paper money along the road is called "buying road money". People attending funerals often put red notes on their doors, which read "Jiang Taigong is here, everything is forgiven", commonly known as "taboo words". Before burial, a fire is made in the grave to drive away the dampness, which is called a "warm pit". After burial, choose another way to go home. This way is called "returning to burial". When you enter the door, you should "go too far", eat cloud cakes and drink sugar tea, which means family reunion and sweetness. At the funeral, the coffin was set up at home to burn incense and sacrifice. Seven days from the date of death is a sacrifice, and the first seven days to the last seven days are 49 days. After three years of mourning, except for the spirit (in fact, it is the second anniversary), God's cards are moved to the ancestral temple, firecrackers are set off, sugar balls are eaten, and mourning clothes are taken off (the old custom stipulates 1 year mourning, mourning clothes are changed from white to yellow and blue, and filial shoes are generally worn with three pairs of white and two pairs of blue). The funeral is over. Generally, coffins of poor families are relatively thin and burial is simple. Those who have no money can't afford a coffin, so they have to wrap it in reeds and straw mats and dig a hole to bury it.
