Reading guide: What does the rural saying "There are holes in front of the grave and rare descendants, and the three trees behind the grave produce rich people"? What makes sense
The tomb is a kind of inheritance of rural funeral culture, and after the death of the rural elderly, they will find a clear person, on the hillside or in their own land, choose a piece of feng shui treasure land, and after choosing this cemetery, then carry out follow-up digging pits, after the pit of the grave is dug, they are waiting to bury the deceased old man.
According to the traditional customs of the countryside, after the death of the elderly in the countryside, they still park at home for three days, or a week, during which relatives and friends, or the old and young masters in the tun come to mourn, and the family has to prepare important ceremonies, music and other activities, and the filial sons have to accompany the deceased old people every day, and bow down.
After seven days, the coffin of the old man is buried, the coffin is placed in the pit dug in advance, and then buried directly with soil, and finally piled up into a mound, which forms a tomb, but this saying says "There is a hole in front of the grave and the descendants are scarce, and the three trees behind the grave produce the rich", what does it mean exactly? Listen as I explain slowly.
The mound formed by the mound has three functions
The grave is made of mounds, and the purpose of the mound is mainly because the descendants can find a place smoothly when they add soil to the grave of the deceased during the four major festivals every year, so that they will not go to the wrong grave.
It is also a declaration of the territory, and this mound is also to tell passers-by, or family members who are farming in the field, not to step on the grave of the deceased elderly, so as not to cause the grave to collapse or be trampled flat.
Another point is that the grave pile up a soil bag, which has the effect of waterproofing, such as rain or heavy rain, the rain will fall on the grave, and the rainwater will flow down the grave, so as not to store water on the grave, which plays an important role in protecting the coffin underground.
It can also delay the decay of the coffin, which will also delay the body of the deceased old man in the coffin, and it will not decay quickly, if there is no grave, the rain will be poured directly to the ground, so the grave will collapse into a big pit, so this grave pile is effective.
1. There are holes in front of the grave
After the deceased elderly in the countryside are buried on the hillside or in their own fields, the descendants of the deceased old people have to pay homage to the four major festivals every year, or to worship the deceased old people at the same time, and the graves must be repaired.
The repair of the grave of the old man refers to filling the grave of the deceased old man, so that the land of the grave of the deceased old man will shrink more and more, and the weeds of the grave of the deceased old man must be trimmed.
If there are some wild trees and artemisia annua growing on the grave, they must all be uprooted, and only green leaves of wild grass will be left on the grave, so that the grave can appear to be in order, so that people will be very comfortable to look at.
It is normal for there to be a hole in the grave, because rats, snakes and foxes are willing to steal holes to hide themselves in the densest places of the cemetery.
However, if there is a cave on the grave, it will pose a certain threat to the grave, if the cave of the mouse is built in the tomb, the mouse will steal the hole in the coffin, and in the coffin, it will gnaw on the S body of the deceased old man, if it is a long time, the S body of the deceased old man will be eaten by the rat and only the bones will be left.
There is a robbery hole in the grave, and if it rains or rains heavily, the rain will flow down the cave and directly into the coffin, which will accelerate the decomposition of the coffin and the disappearance of the body of the deceased old man.
There are filial sons and daughters in the family, and when they go to the grave of the deceased old man to burn paper, if they find that there are caves in the grave of the deceased old man, they have to find a way to plug these caves, or eliminate the rats in the burrows first, and then plug the mouse holes, so that rats and snakes and foxes can steal the holes.
If there is a rat burrow in the grave of the deceased old man, and the descendants of the deceased old man do not often go to the grave of the deceased old man, or there is no one to fill in the grave of the old man to worship, if this cave exists forever, in the hearts of outsiders, it will be said that the descendants of the deceased old man are scarce, or there are no descendants anymore.
Second, the three trees behind the grave produce rich people
Elm trees were planted behind the graves
Elm deciduous trees, up to 25 meters high, are now planted on both sides of the road, are cultivated species, more than two meters high, and the crown is oval, if the elm tree appears in the grave, it will bring a good meaning to future generations.
Before the elm tree blooms, it will grow a string of elm money, and this elm money is similar to the ancient coins, a string of money, which shows that it brings wealth to future generations.
The canopy of the elm tree will also shelter the grave of the deceased old man, so that when it rains, the rain will fall directly on the grave, so as to avoid the soil on the grave will not be washed away prematurely, or razed to the ground.
And the elm tree is full of treasures, and the elm leaves and elm bark are good food for hunger, and when the family has no food, it can still be food for hunger.
And the propagation of elm trees is spread by seeds, elm money is the seed of the elm tree, and when the elm tree money matures, it will drift in the earth with the wind, if the elm seed falls on the grave, it will grow a lot of elm trees, which is the reason why the tomb naturally grows elm trees.
2. Pine and cypress trees are planted behind the graves
Pine and cypress trees are two evergreen tree species, most of them are tall trees, up to 20 meters to 50 meters, suitable for long-term survival in a cold environment, and the pine tree species form a unique ability to withstand the cold, symbolizing the unyielding loyalty, pine branches are proud, cypress trees are solemn and solemn, evergreen in all seasons, and do not age after severe winters.
If a pine and cypress tree is planted behind the grave of the old man who died, it means that the old man's deceased is like a pine and cypress tree, which will last forever in the grave, and the pine and cypress tree can also provide all the shade from the wind and rain, and have the effect of protecting the grave.
3. Willow trees are planted behind the graves
The willow tree is also known as the river willow and the weeping willow, and the willow tree is a seed spread, there is a good saying, "unintentionally planted willow willow into the shade", this sentence means that there is no intention to plant willow trees, but willow trees appear behind the grave.
The willow of the willow tree is the same as the word Liu, which means to keep the thoughts of the deceased old man, or to retain the filial piety of the deceased old man in later generations.
If you need to weave some tools at home, such as earthen baskets, vegetable baskets and other utensils, you can go to the willow tree behind the grave of your old man and cut down some willow branches and weave them.
To sum up, this rural proverb "There are holes in front of the grave and descendants are scarce, and three trees behind the tree are nobles", these two sentences will have exaggerated sentences, but if there is a hole in front of the grave and it is not blocked in time, it will be mistaken in the eyes of outsiders that there are no descendants in the family of the deceased old man, or the descendants are very rare.
And the three trees behind the grave are rich people, in fact, people remember this meaning, so that their family life is better and better, and the wealth will roll in, do you think I am right?
