Rural funerals, one of the warmest links Thanking the neighbors and bowing down
In the rural areas of our country, the funeral is a very important ceremony, which is not only a farewell to the deceased, but also a kind of respect for life. In rural funerals, there is a link that is particularly warm, that is, to thank the neighbors and bow down.
This link in the rural funeral reflects the importance that rural people attach to the relationship between neighbors. In the rural areas of our country, neighborly relations are very important, and everyone helps and cares for each other. When a family is in trouble, neighbors reach out and help. At the funeral, the family will express their gratitude to the neighbors who have helped them, which is not only an affirmation of their efforts, but also a response to their feelings.
Thanking the neighbors and bowing down also reflects the respect of rural people for the deceased. In rural areas, it is believed that the deceased have simply gone to another world and that they can still see the actions of the living. Therefore, during the funeral, the family will express their respect for the deceased by thanking their neighbors and bowing down to them, so that they can see their efforts and dedication in the other world.
In addition, this link also reflects the respect of rural people for tradition. In the rural areas of our country, the funeral is a very important ritual with strict procedures and norms. Thanking one's neighbors and bowing down is one of the traditions. Through this link, rural people express their respect for tradition and reverence for their ancestors.
In general, the link of thanking the neighbors and kneeling in the rural funeral is both warm and meaningful. It not only reflects the importance that rural people attach to neighborly relations, respect for the deceased, but also respect for tradition. This link makes the rural funeral more solemn and warm.
However, with the development of society, this link in rural funerals is also changing. Some people believe that this part is too cumbersome and wastes time and energy.
Therefore, they omitted this link in the funeral and opted for a simplified procedure. While this saves time and effort, it also loses the meaning of this warm link.
In my opinion, although the thank-giving to neighbors in rural funerals and the prostration may cause some trouble, the meaning it contains is irreplaceable. This link is not only an affirmation of the neighborly relationship, but also a respect for the deceased and a reverence for tradition. Therefore, we should keep this link and let it continue to play its role in rural funerals, so that our rural funerals are more solemn and warm.
