Why can't immediate family members see the coffin when they are buried?

The reason why immediate family members can't see the coffin when they are buried is because there is a folklore. If you know that your loved ones are looking at the coffin, the deceased will not leave peacefully. If it is serious, some bad things will happen to the living, sometimes affecting the wealth of your loved ones.

In the eyes of some old people in China, especially some elderly people in rural areas, although people can't be resurrected after death, it is also a very particular thing for the dead to attend the funeral. For example, just like a coffin can't land, no matter how bumpy the road is, it needs to be lifted or the immediate family members of the deceased can't look into the coffin, so as not to cause bad things.

After being buried for three days, you have to take three sacrifices to "Guangfu Mountain". It takes 49 days after burial, and the dutiful son does not have a haircut or shave, which is called "fostering filial piety". Don't cry at the funeral, shed tears for the dead: relatives and friends of the dead should keep calm when holding the funeral ceremony. Generally, when the dead are buried, the coffins are carried by some strong men in the same village, and their immediate family members can't carry the coffins.

Immediate family members should not look into the coffin when they are buried. Carry a coffin to someone's door and set off firecrackers. Old people must wear "road clothes" when they die. These are some customs left over from the older generation. When the elders come to mourn, the eldest son and other relatives will kneel and cry. Now if people don't follow this custom, they will feel that something bad has happened.

July is the legendary Ghost Festival. At this time, the ghost gate of the underworld is wide open, and many ghosts will come to the underworld from the underworld. It is generally believed that this is to express extreme grief, so that it is impossible to take care of pruning.
