Funeral etiquette, according to folklore, is not only the last "passer-by etiquette" in life, but also the last "parting ceremony", which means that a person has completed all the trips in his life and finally left the society. However, due to the influence of traditional ideas and superstitious ideas, it has long been generally believed that people die but the soul does not die, and death is only the separation of soul and flesh. After death, the soul not only keeps close contact with people, but also can be reincarnated. Based on this understanding, funeral etiquette in a series of life etiquette, both solemn and grand, but also with a considerable degree of mystery. China has always attached importance to funeral etiquette, especially the funeral etiquette of elders. There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: "Be cautious and pursue the future, and people's morality will return to thick." Among them, "careful death" means that parents' funerals should be handled cautiously and reasonably. Mencius further developed this point. He believes: "Keeping healthy is not enough to be a big deal, but death can be a big deal." Under the control of the concept of "death is more important than life", as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, funeral ceremonies have formed a set of etiquette. There are about 40 items from the beginning to the end, funeral and burial, and after burial. Although it has been simplified and developed, the main procedures have not changed. This procedure is generally followed in all parts of Shanxi.
