In the southwest, funeral directors are also called Taoist priests.
When people pass away, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they will be invited to perform rituals, choose the time of burial, and choose the feng shui of the tomb. They do many things on a daily basis, including exorcising evil spirits, doing ashram, and even peeking into the heavens.
During the funeral, why did the boy who led the way set off firecrackers, what was the significance of the black and white strips of cloth in the Taoist master's hands, why was the coffin elevated by a bench before being buried, etc.
My name is Lingzi, and I am the twenty-seventh generation Taoist master of my family. Let me introduce you to the different funeral news.
