In the long river of history, Taoism has always been the spiritual sustenance of the land of China. The concept of immortality and attainment of immortality advocated by it is deeply rooted in people's beliefs. It is this desire for eternal life that gives the urn storage shelf, an ordinary object, an extraordinary meaning.
Back in the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin respected Taoism because he had the same surname as Taoist ancestor Laozi, making it the state religion. The same was true of the Yuan Dynasty. The fairyland advocated by Taoism has become the ideal destination in the hearts of countless people. People are convinced that those who are good in life can ascend to immortality and enter that earthly paradise after death. This yearning for a fairyland is fully reflected in the design of the urn storage rack. Its exquisite carvings and delicate textures all convey people's blessings and thoughts for the deceased. It is not only a simple storage shelf, but also a bridge between the living and the deceased, connecting the two worlds of yin and yang.
Not only the Tang Dynasty, but also China also set Taoism as the state religion in the Yuan Dynasty. It is precisely because Taoism has the idea of immortality and the word immortal has always existed in the impression of the Chinese people, and people believe that people can go to two worlds after death. This is determined by the quality of what you have done in life. People who have done all the bad things in their lives should go to hell and do a lot of good deeds, and such kind people should go to Elysium, which is called attainment of enlightenment and ascension, and most people hope that they can come to heaven on earth to see after they die. After all, this kind of earthly bliss is what many people yearn for, where all the senses get a new feeling beyond the parallel world of nature. The family also hopes that the deceased can get peace after death and come to a paradise-like place on earth, this idea of ascending to immortality is consistent with the Chinese characters described by metaphysicians in the late Wei and Jin dynasties, and China's modern urn storage rack also reflects this thought, and the Chinese's desire for immortality can be seen from ancient times, which is a story of the origin of the urn storage rack and Taoism.
When choosing a columbarium storage rack, you can also spend more time to understand whether its texture is delicate or not. Think about it, if a manufacturer can't even guarantee the most basic pattern texture information, how can it be said that it has the technology to produce a very good quality ash storage rack, and it will only bring more losses to itself after purchase. Of course, when you buy, you can also go to the manufacturer to understand its production process, for example, look at the production process of each production link and the quality treatment of the ashes storage rack in each production link. After being able to understand these details, it is also very helpful for you to choose a very good quality ash storage rack to meet your own use value. However, when you choose the ashes storage rack, you also need to understand its details, such as understanding which brand is better, which ash storage rack is aesthetically pleasing, and after understanding these details, it still has a very good effect on everyone choosing a better ash storage rack, so that you will suffer more losses on the premise of blindly choosing an ash storage rack without knowing anything, so you still need to pay attention when choosing. Taoist beliefs have also influenced Chinese funeral customs, such as the storage shelves used to place urns. This kind of object, which is closely related to funerary culture, is deeply influenced by Taoist ideas in terms of design concept and production process. On the one hand, the delicate carvings and delicate textures reflect people's respect and deep remembrance for the deceasedOn the other hand, it also reflects people's good expectations for the afterlife – the hope that the deceased will rest in peace in a beautiful environment.
In modern society, with the attention and return of traditional culture, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the cultural connotation and artistic value of urn storage racks. This also puts forward higher requirements for manufacturers - not only to pay attention to the practicality of products, but also to pay attention to the inheritance and innovation of its cultural connotation. As a part of the funeral culture, the connection between the urn storage rack and Taoism is not only reflected in the design style, but also in the inheritance and innovation of culture and thought. When we understand this connection in depth, we will not only have a deeper understanding and understanding of Chinese culture, but also a better understanding of the meaning of life and death. I hope that everyone can cherish the time spent with their loved ones and let this emotion last forever.
