There are many taboos about funeral sacrifices in the countryside, some of which are indeed untouchable common sense, but some of which are more hidden, and the average person does not know and does not understand why.
For example, this custom that I want to share with you today, early morning and evening after the sun sets, is not suitable for going to the grave, and you need to pay more attention at noon.
As for why, let's talk to you about the reasons~ ~ ~ ~
According to the rural saying, early morning and after the sun sets, it is a time when the sky is not very bright, the sun may not come out in the morning, and the sun has set in the evening.
The sun seems to be a symbol of dispelling all haze in the countryside, and some extremely yin things will be affected when they encounter the sun.
Whether it is early in the morning or in the evening, the sun cannot shine, and the cemetery is still a relatively taboo place, and the y gas is heavier, so naturally these two are simply not suitable for going to the grave.
Speaking of which, some people may ask, is it the best place to go to the grave when the noonday sun is full? The answer is no!
Leaving aside the traditional concepts mentioned above, here is an objective attitude to analyze the reasons why the grave cannot be carried out in the early morning, noon, and evening.
First of all, although the air is good in the morning, friends who live in the countryside have the impression that there will be dewdrops in the morning, and after encountering rain, the mountain road has not dried in the early morning, and it will be more wet and slippery.
Most of the rural cemeteries are chosen on the hillside, and it is not easy to bring some sacrificial things to the graves.
The weight-bearing pavement is slippery and slippery, plus many people are not very conscious when they get up too early, and if they don't pay attention to it, they may fall and cause accidents, so it is not suitable for going to the grave in the early morning.
And noon is not suitable, there are some special reasons .
We know that the noonday sun is the greatest fit, and in some parts of the countryside there are still people who die, and the first seven days of noon do not allow the deceased to go to the place where they often go before they die.
The reason is that in the agricultural customs, it is said that noon is the closest time of the day when the sun is closest to the equator, and according to the saying that the peak will decline, noon is not a pure yang time, but it is the same as the early morning, and it is possible to see something unclean.
In particular, some people in the village have just died, and the first seven have not yet passed, that is, it has not exceeded 7 days after burial, and it still belongs to the new grave.
After a person dies, in fact, it will not disappear at once, but disappear little by little, so before the spirit body has completely disappeared, try not to go to the cemetery at noon, nor do you go to the place where the deceased often went before the first seven days of the deceased.
In addition to this traditional concept, there are some reasons why noon is not suitable for going to the grave, which is explained here.
At noon, because the sun is particularly strong, especially in the summer, it will be super hot, and going out to the grave may cause heat stroke.
In the summer, it is quite dangerous to faint from heat stroke at noon in the countryside, and many snakes will come out to swim at noon, in case of accidental heat stroke fainting and encountering snakes, it is very dangerous.
The noon temperature itself is high, not only is it not suitable for going to the grave, but also not suitable for going out, which everyone needs to know.
Of course, there is no problem in winter, the temperature is not high at noon in winter, the snake is hibernating, and it is still okay to go to the grave.
As for the evening after the sun sets is not suitable for the grave, this is easier to understand, after the sun sets, soon the sky will be dark, the mountains are dark, and go to the graves on the farther away, which is not safe to think.
The cemetery is more special, the night is cloudy and windy, people's hearts will always feel afraid.
And the mountain road is rough at night, and it is not safe to walk at night, in case of falling down, it is not good.
The more suitable time for going to the grave is after 10 o'clock in the morning, when the sun is out, the destination may be around 11 o'clock, and it is almost 12 o'clock after the grave, which is also just right.
If there is no time in the morning, you can also go in the afternoon, in the summer, it is best to go directly from two o'clock to five o'clock, and the sun gradually sets after five o'clock, although the summer in the countryside is darker, but for safety reasons, it is better to leave at least before 5 o'clock.
In winter, you need to go earlier, and you can go at noon, but it is best to leave before three o'clock in the afternoon, because in winter, it will be darker earlier, and it may be a little dark at four or five o'clock.
So start early and avoid coming back when it's already dark and it's not good for safety.
Of course, the countryside does not allow too early or too late to go to the grave, mostly because it feels that going to the cemetery is a very mysterious thing, it is best to carry out better at dawn, but the real reason is to consider the safety of the grave goer.
