Is it true that no one can live in the first seven houses?

No one can live in the first seven houses. Really?

You can't live in the first seven houses, or you will see something unlucky. The first seven, China people's funeral custom, is based on the time of the deceased's death, plus the date and hour calculated by heavenly stems and earthly branches, but everyone used to think that "the first seven" refers to the seventh day after death. Different places have different "first seven" customs, but it is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will return home on the "first seven" day, and the family should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before returning home, and then they must avoid it.

In many folk customs, remember not to put beef and horse meat in the first seven foods. It is said that the reason why the dead went home in the first seven days was that they were brought back to the world by evil spirits such as cow's head and horse's face. Therefore, beef or horse meat must not appear in the offerings of the first seven, which is a big taboo in the offerings of the first seven. After preparing the food to be provided in the first seven days, the family should avoid it. It's best to go back to the bedroom and turn off the lights to sleep, because if the dead come back to meet the living, the dead soul will miss the world and get no rest, so the dead soul can't be reincarnated. In many places, besides the first seven days, there is the custom of burning on May 7th or July 7th. May 7th is the 35th day after death, and July 7th refers to the 49th day after death. On May 7th or July 7th, the living will burn paper money and tie colored ribbons in front of the grave. Some places will burn the clothes of some dead relatives in front of the grave, hoping that the soul will have money and clothes to wear when it goes to the grave.
