    The funeral time according to Yin Yang (teacher) was not far from the day of his father's death, so after the arrival of the wooden coffin, only two days later, the painter had already arrived.  In fact, after the wood is completely dry, the effect of painting may be better.  However, the time has already been selected, and the time waits for no one, so the painter can only start painting before the wood is completely dry.

    Both paint and labor were included in the 8,300 yuan, so two painters, a man and a woman, brought their own paint.  From the looks of it, the two should be husband and wife, and they have cooperated with the coffin shop owner for a long time.  It is not difficult to see from their rather swift movements that these two must be skilled workers.

    When the painter was painting, all the neighbors, relatives and friends who stayed in my house naturally surrounded me.  At first, everyone just watched, because at that time the prototype of the entire wooden coffin paint had not yet formed.  After the paint reached a certain level, the onlookers gradually began to discuss.  After all, these people have more or less experienced it personally, so they will more or less know some precautions about funeral matters.

    "Master (the respectful title for the painter), why don't you leave a gap on the back of this coffin?" the eldest son of his father's cousin's family (who is his father's direct disciple) asked puzzled.

    "Why leave a gap?" The painter asked doubtfully while continuing to paint.

    "You often paint coffins for others, don't you know?" The eldest son of his father's cousin muttered with some dissatisfaction, and then continued, "Leaving a place the size of a round mirror unpainted is for the sake of the ancestors  You can always shine on your children through the hole the size of a round mirror. Now that you have painted the back of the mirror tightly, how can the ancestors 'photograph' them?"

    Facing the accusations of others, the painter seemed to get angry.  "The coffins I have painted are hundreds of thousands. Why have I never heard of this rule? I paint with others, and I always do this (paint all without leaving gaps)  , I haven¡¯t seen the master say a word or two!¡± The painter also insisted on it, and his meaning was obvious, that is, the rules you mentioned were probably thought up by yourself, right?  Besides, you are not the master, so what qualifications do you have to point fingers here?

    The eldest son of his father's cousin's family naturally heard the irony in his words, but he didn't get angry.  Because, he knew that once these craftsmen were angered, they would probably do some tricks secretly, and at that time, it might bring some adverse effects to the master's family.  Taking a deep breath, he calmed down, and then said in a calm tone: "At that time, my father's coffin was painted like this. I am working as a supervisor for my father (the name for my father), isn't it okay?"  ?¡±

    At this time, the octogenarians in our family also spoke.  "According to what the descendants said, it seems to be true."

    The so-called "the age of a person, the fragrance of Buddha" (the older a person is, the more he knows; the more prosperous a Buddha's incense is, the more effective he is. Therefore, here we use age and incense as the evaluation of people and Buddha.  A very important standard of the standard.), Seeing what the gray-haired old man said, the painter felt that this should not be fake, so he said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I really didn't know about it. How about this  At that time, I will use sandpaper to remove a large piece of paint such as a round mirror." Actually, this is not a bad thing for the painter, at least, he knows that there are some places that have this custom, so he can take the initiative before painting next time.  Ask the owner if it is necessary to leave a gap the size of a round mirror without painting.

    "Oh, your paint has already been put up, so it seems like this is the only way to go." The eldest son of his father's cousin replied helplessly.

    Before the painter took action, the 80-year-old man said again: "Master, you misunderstood me. Although we also have the idea of ??following the descendants here, it is not the method of not being able to paint."  So, you can paint it. We usually put a round mirror on the back wall of the deceased at the feet of the deceased (that is, the back of the coffin) after entering the museum. Through this round mirror, the  The ancestors in another world can take care of their descendants."

    "No! Then why do we leave a gap on the coffin that is not painted? The unpainted part is actually equivalent to a window. Through this 'window', the ancestors can look at our world.  Only by seeing this world can the ancestors better protect the descendants here. Now, without this layer of 'windows', the ancestors can't take care of their descendants even if they want to." Father expressed  The eldest son of the brother's family protested dissatisfied.

    "Let me ask you, if you leave this piece unpainted, will the wood in this place disappear?" asked the old man in his eighties with a calm expression.

    &nbsp"Of course the wood still exists." The eldest son of his father's cousin replied with some confusion.

    "Since the wood still exists, how can the ancestors see our world through this layer of wood?" The octogenarian then asked.

    "Leaving a place unpainted is actually a symbolic meaning, representing that there is a window here. In this way, whenever the ancestors lying in the coffin sit up, they can see through the wood.  Our side of the world is gone." The son of his father's cousin continued to argue.

    "According to you, since the ancestors could see our world through wood, why couldn't they see through a layer of paint?" Ginger is really old and spicy!  An old man in his eighties is "attacking his shield with his spear"!

    "This" The eldest son of his father's cousin wanted to argue, but found that his words contradicted himself, so he couldn't say a word of excuse in embarrassment.

    From the expression of the eldest son of his father's cousin's family, the onlookers can also see that he is not lying.  That said, that's exactly what people there do.  This is the peculiarity of the custom. Although the close ones are basically the same, they are by no means exactly the same.  Just like my father and his cousin's house, although they are not too far away, at least they are still in the same town, but there are some differences in the details of the funeral.

    "Then, what's the point of putting a mirror?" After a moment of silence, the painter couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and asked.

    "Let me ask you, what do Yin and Yang usually hold in their hands when they look at Feng Shui?" The old man in his eighties did not answer the question.

    "It seems to be holding something like a mirror?" The painter replied with some uncertainty.

    "That's right, it's called the Yin-Yang mirror. The round mirror that's placed is actually playing the role of the Yin-Yang mirror. Through the Yin-Yang mirror, our ancestors can see through the two worlds of Yin and Yang, so as to understand and control all the movements of our descendants.  "

    Seeing the convincing appearance of the eighty-year-old man, everyone in the audience couldn't help but believe it.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
