Life is like a play, no one wants to escape the finale of "birth, old age, sickness and death", the years are ruthless, many relatives have left, leaving us to grieve alone. So, at this time, we have to carry out a series of activities to remember the old people.
Speaking of the countryside, "burning artifacts in the clothes of the deceased old man" is simply a unique job, saying that it is to let the old man wear it to another world, but in fact, he is afraid that the old man's clothes will hide dirt and dirt. After all, the previous disinfection methods were limited, and some elderly people's clothes may be more nutritious than chemical fertilizers. Therefore, you have to check carefully before burning, and don't burn the treasures left by the old man by mistake.
For example, there is a legend in our township, Uncle Li raised a litter of filial children, all of whom worked hard in the city, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home to visit the old man. Although Uncle Li has a lot of money, he is very economical, and he is reluctant to spend a penny of unjust money on weekdays, so he saves it all. As a result, after Uncle Li passed away due to the new crown, his family found an unexpected fortune when sorting out his clothes, and it turned out that the old man had saved a lot of banknotes and passbooks. This proves that before burning the clothes of the elderly, they must be carefully inspected, so as not to "money" important things.
When the old man hangs the seal, in addition to the clothes, there are 5 things that we must not burn.
First of all, books and diaries, these things are simply the foundation of thought, and they are very precious. One of my grandmother's favorite books is called "Autumn Garden", and the author's name is Yang Benfen. The book, which she only published when she was in her 80s, is not flowery, but it always touches me. Some old people write diaries to record trivial matters in life, and the words left by many people are great wealth for future generations.
The second is the collection, the old man's collection can not be burned casually, this is a historical and cultural heritage. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, Su Ling'a mistakenly regarded He Shen as the emperor, and shouted "Long live the emperor", and hurriedly offered the family heirloom jade bonsai to ask He Shen for forgiveness, which was really a farce. The treasures left by the old people may turn into gold one day, so why burn them hastily?
Then there are beds and bedding, not to mention burning the bed of the elderly, even if they are carried around. In the past, the beds that people slept on were made of solid wood, what a pity to throw them away, and the old man couldn't carry them, and he couldn't cross the bridge, so he couldn't be reborn. There are also bedding, which are scarce in winter, and the bedding used by the elderly may continue to come in handy.
The old man's ** can not be burned, in addition to the posthumous image, the other ** is a precious memory left to us. I remember that we had a photo album full of strangers, and my grandfather explained that they were all our elders. This old ** book records a lot of stories, and it also makes us miss our deceased relatives even more.
Finally, the old man's toolbox should also be kept, because they had to repair it themselves if something went wrong before. My father was a carpenter, and some of the things in his toolbox were even left by his great-grandfathers. Therefore, these things left to us, although a little superstitious, are also full of our attachment to the deceased. As a descendant, keeping the belongings of the elderly is also the best consolation for the elderly.
