How to calculate the coffin time after the death of Yulin people in Guangxi

Generally divided into three days, five days and seven days.

1, three days. People who die abnormally, such as car accidents, drowning and so on. Most of them are young people. Because most of the deaths were accidents, many things were not prepared and the funeral was hasty. Because the deceased died violently and the family members were very sad, people chose to be buried as soon as possible.

2. Five days. This situation is more common. Most of them are old people who died of illness. This kind of funeral is basically well prepared, so all the work looks orderly and very leisurely.

Three or seven days. It is also rare. Generally, people who are very old, such as those who are 90 years old or even 100 years old, die of natural causes, which is also called wedding, funeral and marriage. It is generally believed that three conditions must be met to be considered a funeral: all happiness, all life and all death. This basic condition is indispensable: (1) full happiness. His family before his death was indeed "Yan Si Yan Qing", with a prosperous population, forming a large family. He is the parent of a big family, and even revered as an ancestor. (2) Life is full. When the deceased reaches 80 or 90 years old, or even exceeds 100 years old, the minimum age must be over 70 years old. The older you get, the more you meet the conditions of "mourning". Therefore, it is called "old weddings, funerals and happy events". (3) all the time. Also known as "dying well", it refers to the successful end of a person's life. Folks believe that the deceased did good deeds before his death, but he was not tortured by disease all his life, or even "died of illness" and died of natural aging. This is regarded as the fundamental condition of "mourning".

In addition, there is another situation, which is also a white matter, but it is relatively rare. Mainly minor children died prematurely, usually overnight, and they were dealt with that night, but they were not allowed to enter the ancestral graves. This kind of funeral basically does not spend the night, and the time is the shortest.
