What is the "coin" in the funeral?

In some rural areas, when a person dies, people will take out some coins from the deceased and give them to future generations. Naturally, these coins were not brought by the deceased, but were deliberately put in by later generations when they changed his clothes. What is this custom called? Begging for money , or? Scatter money? .

Generally, the deceased has several descendants and will put a few coins. Why are you doing this? There are two meanings. The first morality is to distribute one's property to future generations. In this way, when future generations really want to divide the property, they will not turn against each other and can bless the family and Gome.

The second moral is that I hope that although I have passed, I can still protect my descendants and hope that they can live a healthy and happy life. Passing money is also a hope that future generations can continue to pass it on.

There are also many precautions for distributing coins to family members after processing. Not everyone can take coins out of dead people. The Taoist priest must have taken it out. If you don't invite a Taoist priest, you can't be taken out by future generations.

Because people think that money means good luck, that is, through the hands of Taoist priests, these good luck will continue to be passed on to future generations. If a family member takes it, then this good luck will be taken away by him alone, which is not acceptable.

In addition, it is fair to invite Taoist priests to take care of it. In our opinion, this is just a coin, which is not worth much. But for those they trust, it represents wealth. Whoever takes more and who takes less will cause controversy.

When dividing, it must also be one for each person to show fairness, and the deceased does not favor anyone. At the time of distribution, some auspicious words will be said in the mouth, but these words are generally not said, that is, the Taoist Association.
