RuralAs the saying goes, "There is a pit behind the grave, and the white tiger hangs its head and the boy is worried" can be said to express a profound philosophy in concise language. This proverb covers:RuralSome traditional beliefs about graves in the community andCultural Xi。As I mentioned above, it is very important to repair and worship the grave after the burial of the deceased, all in order to take care of the deceased old man's sleep in the next life, and to avoid bad conditions such as potholes and decomposing corpses behind the grave. These traditional Xi also contain expectations for family lineage and future generations. Below I will interpret this proverb and its reasoning from different perspectives.
In this colloquial saying, a pit behind a grave refers to a depression or pothole behind the grave, which is often caused by the soil around the grave being washed away by rainwater. If left unrepaired, these potholes can easily cause damage to the grave, which in turn affects the tranquility of the coffin and the remains. On the other hand, it refers to the fact that the bloodline of the family is severed and there are no descendants to inherit it. This is embodiedRuralThe community's emphasis on family continuity. When a grave has a pothole, if it can be repaired in time with the joint efforts of family members, it is a way to express family friendship and respect for ancestors. If this problem is ignored, the tomb will continue to deteriorate, and eventually the family will become extinct. Therefore, this proverb emphasizes the importance of repairing the grave to ensure the continuity of the family lineage.
The white tiger in this proverb refers to the western direction and is a symbol of the second or youngest son of the family. The white tiger hanging its head refers to the sinking and damage of the angle of the white tiger's position in the tomb. When the white tiger sinks, it will lead to the phenomenon of the white tiger bowing its head on the tomb image, which symbolizes the misfortune and plight of the descendants of the family. The young man's sorrow indicates the sorrow and helplessness of the youngest son of the family in the face of this situation. This can be understood as:RuralThe community's focus on the continuation of family traditions and the state of mind of family members. For the second or youngest son of the family, the responsibility and pressure of passing on the family is very heavy. If there is a problem with the white tiger position in the tomb, it is necessary for the family members to unite and work together to repair the tomb, so as to show family unity and joint efforts to alleviate the sorrow of the young man.
