Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a rule in Xujia Village that has not changed for thousands of years. If the family has something to do, the whole village will help.

    ? If it is a red thing, no one is to blame if the gift money arrives but the person does not arrive.  If you encounter funeral affairs, even if you are thousands of miles away, you have to rush back when you receive the news.  Especially those with male family members never fall behind others.  Because there is an important link in the funeral, a strong man must play.

    This link is to carry the coffin up the mountain.

    ? Carrying the coffin is physical work, and there are ancient rules that women are not allowed to play.  Blood relatives are also not allowed to play.

    Xujia Village has always paid attention to the ancient system in funeral affairs.  There were sixteen pallbearers.  Due to the high mountain and steep road, the coffin did not land on the ground.  Therefore, no matter how far it is, it must be carried to the side of the tomb in one breath.

    The person who carries the coffin is also very particular. He must be at least sixteen years old and must be a male.

    ? If there is no male in the family, when encountering trivial matters, they can only bow their heads and sigh, and do more and talk less in other links.  If there is a male in the family who fails to return, and his name is written on the coffin-bearer list, the family can only pay their own money to hire someone to fill the vacancy.

    In Maoshan and even Hengyue, the villages all practice burials.  In the Fu Chia Yi era, cremation was implemented on a large scale. In the most severe period, people were sent to dig out the buried coffins and drag them to the crematorium to burn them.

    For a period of time, families with dead people did not dare to cry.  We can only quietly ask neighbors and friends to carry the deceased to the mountain in the middle of the night, dig a hole and bury them, not even daring to raise a grave.

    The cremation policy enforced by Fu Chia-yi is slowly cooling down because of death.

    It happened in Maoshan thirteen years ago.  At that time, there was a family with five brothers, all of whom were tall and tall.  His father left a saying before his death that if he was taken to be burned, it would be better to leave it to the wild dogs to eat.

    The five sons knew that their father only wanted to be buried, so they temporarily demolished the floor and made a makeshift thin coffin.  They didn't dare to say anything, taking advantage of the middle of the night when no one was there, the five brothers didn't even dare to invite anyone, so they moved their father to the mountain to bury him.

    Some people may ask, why can't the family of five brothers afford even a coffin for their father?  Which floor is needed to improvise?  Little did they know that when Fu Jiayi promoted cremation, there was no coffin shop in the entire Hengyue area.

    If someone bought a coffin in advance, the township cadres would also come to the door to forcibly pull the coffin away and chop it into pieces.

    The five brothers buried their father in the middle of the night. They didn't know anyone was aware of it, but someone with a good cause reported the matter to the village.

    Upon hearing the news, the village immediately dispatched dozens of people to dig out the dead man from the soil.  When the five brothers saw this, their heads exploded, and a dispute arose immediately.

    How can five hands be against dozens of hands?  As a result, the five brothers were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They watched helplessly as their father's body was taken away by a car.

    The five brothers rushed to the crematorium, but were told that because of their bad attitude, the ashes of the old man were not left, and they were poured directly into the columbarium.

    The more the five brothers thought about it, the more angry they became, they found the informer, shouted, and the five brothers came together, and after a violent beating, they stopped and realized that they had caused a catastrophe.  The five brothers beat the informer to death in one go.

    If you get into a catastrophe, you can't avoid it.  The five brothers scrambled to surrender.  The boss said that he had already married a wife and had children, so he should go and die.  The second child refused, saying that the eldest had suffered since childhood and had not enjoyed a day of happiness.  What's more, if the eldest son is a father, and he goes to resist his life, are the other brothers still human?

    After arguing and arguing, finally the fifth child stood up and said, "Brothers, I have no wife or children, no worries and no worries. I'll go!"

    The five brothers huddled together and wept bitterly, so they had to admit the fifth and surrendered.

    After this incident, there was a huge anti-cremation wave in Maoshan.  The relationship between the government and the people is in dire straits.  Especially after hearing that Lao Wu Yi had been sentenced to death, almost the whole county became agitated and asked the government to give an explanation.

    In the end, it attracted the attention of Mr. Liao who was far away in Yanjing.

    For this reason, Mr. Liao personally visited Maoshan and called Fu Jiayi to hold an on-site meeting.

    Elder Liao spoke very emotionally at the meeting.  He said that national policies must be followed and implemented, but measures must also be adapted to local conditions.  Do not apply mechanically to any matter, and commit dogmatism.

    There are many mountains in Maoshan, and the mountains do not form soil.  The burial of the dead is in line with the laws of nature.  because

    It is the remains of the dead, and it will die out naturally after one or two years, return to nature, and become fertile soil.  As for the coffin, it will rot into mud after decades.  This kind of burial, which does not occupy land and waste resources, may not have much impact on human society.

    In the final analysis, compared with cremation, burial seems to be more in line with the laws of nature.

    After this meeting, Lao Wu was able to change his sentence.  Although the capital crime is forgiven, the living crime is hard to forgive.  Lao Wu is still in prison and has not been freed.  However, the cremation system in Hengyue area has since become loose.  After that, no one cares anymore.??

    Xu Yishan went to battle to carry the coffin when he was eighteen years old.

    That year coincided with his college entrance examination.  An old man in Xujia Village passed away, so Xu Bajiao went to school to look for his son and asked him to return to the village to carry his coffin.

    Xu Yishan explained that he was studying hard for the college entrance examination. Before he could finish his sentence, he was scolded by his father Xu Barefoot. He opened his eyes wide and yelled at his son, "Don't go. When I die, you will bury me behind your back alone."  ?¡±

    In Xu Chijia's view, if you don't help others, if you have something to do, who will help you?

    What's more, in a village, who doesn't die?  If you don't help with something, can you still hold your head up in the village in the future?

    Since then, Xu Yishan has carried seven or eight old people up the mountain intermittently in the village.

    Chen Xiaoqi called to urge him to go back because an old man in the village had left.  The village arranged for the brothers of the Xu family to send out one person to carry the coffin up the mountain.

    There are two Xu family brothers, the eldest Xu Yishan and the second Xu Xiaoshan.  When Xu Yishan came, he had a tight study task, and he was going to take the college entrance examination soon.  Secondly, after careful calculation, Xiaoshan is still two months away from turning eighteen.

    After Xu's mother told Chen Xiaoqi about the situation, Chen Xiaoqi said that she could pay someone to replace Xu Yishan.

    Xu's mother was not happy, saying that since their family moved to the county seat from the village, they have not contributed to any major or minor matters in the village.  If you pay someone for this matter, you will be looked down upon by the villagers¡ªisn¡¯t this showing that your family is rich and powerful?

    Chen Xiaoqi then called Xu Yishan with a funny mood and asked him to go back to Xujia Village to carry the coffin.

    Xu Yishan couldn't laugh or cry after he figured out the reasons for urging him to come back.

    "Chen Xiaoqi, I'm still the secretary of the municipal party committee. Do you think it's appropriate for me to carry the coffin myself?"

    "If it's suitable, you can ask your mother. I don't make the decision." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Who made you have the word Xu on your head? Who made you born in Xujia Village."

    Xu Yishan really felt embarrassed.  It's not that he can't let go of this figure, but that he really doesn't have time to do this kind of thing.

    "This time you have to go, or if you don't go, you have to go." Chen Xiaoqi said solemnly: "Mother said, if you don't go, she will go find dad to carry it."

    Xu Yishan said with a wry smile: "I don't know where my father is, where can I find her old man?"

    "Mother said, she couldn't find Dad, and she didn't come back, so she just looked around outside."

    Xu Yishan had no choice but to express himself to go.
