What was the ancient funeral custom like? What is a crock tomb?

China has different burial customs in different periods and regions. ? Crock tomb? It is a legend that suddenly became popular in modern times. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a kind of? Abandon the old? It is customary to throw people over 60 into an open brick grave and let them die.

I have seen Japanese folk stories before, and there is a saying that a 60-year-old man is thrown directly into the mountains and eaten by wild animals. In China, there was a similar legend in the Han Dynasty, which was to dig a hole between the cliffs for the elderly to live in. Generally, when the old people go in, they start eating or drinking until they starve to death, and then fill the hole and become a grave.

Archaeology seems to have dug up the tomb of the living dead in recent years, but according to scholars' research, it is not for? Abandon the old? And the resulting customs. It is the theory of advocating immortals in Han Dynasty. Many monks believe that people will go to heaven after death. Therefore, when they are dying, what are they doing living in such a hole? Pigou? The way to pursue? Military solution? To achieve the goal of immortality.

As for the Yellow River Basin, what is it in folklore? Crock tomb? It's just a rumor and I haven't seen any historical records.

In this kind of legend, because the family is poor, some people can't support the elderly, thinking that the elderly have no labor force and living can only increase the family burden. So when the old man is over 60 years old, the family will build him a brick grave and put him in.

At that time, the tomb was not immediately sealed and meals were delivered every day. Live for a year, waiting for the old man to die slowly. Or not dead, then plug the grave and bury it alive.

In my opinion, it is a word of this novelist, or an accidental wonderful work, and the credibility of forming customs is very, very low. The source of the legend is probably a department. Crock tomb? A TV play with a strange theme.

China is a country where Confucianism has prevailed for more than two thousand years. Confucianism attaches great importance to funeral and filial piety. In the story of Twenty-four Filial Pieties, someone was wronged as unfilial and sentenced to death.

If a family wants to give up their old age, there is no need to bury the old man alive in this way, which is obviously unwilling to live.
