The Ming Dynasty of LuXi fell even more, and when people died, they returned.
Some people now joke that the fairest thing in the world is that everyone faces death, and it is true that life is like a tiny grain of dust in the universe, and new life appears every moment in the universe, and at the same time, many lives are coming to an end.
The topic of human life, old age, illness and death has been explored since ancient times, and from ancient times, it can be seen that people's eternal yearning for life at that time was seen. According to relevant historical records, from the time when Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms and established China's first empire, he began to yearn for immortality, and sent Xu Fu to the sea to seek immortals, but in the end he failed, all this is just Qin Shi Huang's own thinking, in fact, there is no immortality in the world, even if he holds great power, he cannot change this law.
After the people of the world understand that there is no immortality, human beings are more calm in the face of death, and they no longer become very afraid, seeing it as a reincarnation. At the same time, people began to pay attention to the funeral of the deceased, and from ancient times to the present, the funeral custom has been passed down and has been continued to this day.
Today's funerals are roughly similar to those of ancient times, and I believe that many people have attended funerals, and the main process is mourning and farewell. In many rural areas, a funeral usually lasts three days, and in some areas, due to different customs, it is even longer, because in ancient times, the time for moratorium was prescribed, generally not less than three days. In the eyes of modern people, it may be a superstition to think that the number of days of moratorium is a superstition, but in fact, it is not the case, and the number of days of moratorium has a certain scientific basis.
Mortuarys may avoid accidents
"Mourning death with funerals", through the relevant ancient history books, most of the funerals of the ancients were a total of seven days, which also has the first seven. When a person dies, the body is placed at home for seven days, and related funerals are held, during which many neighbors, relatives and friends come to mourn.
With the development of the times, people found that the bodies of the deceased were easy to stink after seven days, so they changed to three days. But why is it important to leave the body on display for a few days instead of disposing of it immediately? The reason for this is that if something goes wrong, the morgue can actually avoid accidents.
Because in the ancient society where medicine was not developed, people's concept of death was not as clear as it is now, and we now judge whether a person dies to see whether brain cells have lost their life characteristics, while ancient medicine was not so developed, whether it is instruments or related knowledge has not reached this level. In such a case, the phenomenon of suspended animation is easy to occur in ancient times, which is simply that brain cells and life characteristics occur, but due to the sudden arrest phenomenon in the heart and other parts, the human life characteristics become very weak, in fact, they have not died.
In order to avoid the phenomenon of suspended animation, ancient people generally parked the body of the deceased for a few days to see if he could wake up on his own. Why wait for him to wake up instead of rescuing him? The main reason is still limited by the medical technology at that time, most doctors can not see whether the patient is really dead, and relatives pin their hopes on the few days of morgue, hoping that their relatives can be "resurrected".
An example of the ancients being able to "bring the dead back to life"
Bian Que, an ancient famous doctor, believes that everyone is no stranger, as a divine doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period of China, he has advanced medical technology that is beyond the times. Bian Que is widely spread in two stories, one of which is to see Qi Huangong and persuade him to cure minor diseases in case future lesions are difficult to treat, but Qi Huangong repeatedly refused, and finally Qi Huangong had no medicine to cure. In addition, Bian Que also has the ability to make people "come back to life" and save a prince.
During Bian Que's travels to the kingdom of Yu, bian Que heard that the prince of the country had died half a day ago, and after Bian Que's observation and healing, the prince who had originally died was miraculously "resurrected". In fact, prince Yu Guo did not die, but suffered from a disease called "corpse" in ancient times, which would cause people to suddenly have chaotic qi pulses, the body did not have any reaction, and if it was not treated in time, it would die.
epilogue
In ancient times, a few days of moratorium were necessary, not because of superstitions such as ghosts and gods, but just in case someone would wake up. The main reason for the custom of moratoriums today is still handed down from the ancestors, which is also a kind of cultural custom in our country and has the value of inheritance.
