In nature, whether animals or plants, they must follow one law, that is, birth, old age, illness, and death.

Even humans who claim to be the "spirits of all things" only take a few decades from birth, to old age and frailty, and then to the west. All lives will end at this moment.

Since ancient times, people have always had an innate respect for death. In ancient times, death was also one of the things that could not be understood. Why people die is a question that they have been thinking about. People have also used their imagination to explain this unknown.

After a person dies, generally speaking, relatives not only comfort the family members, but also help with funeral arrangements, including sorting out the deceased's belongings.

How to deal with relics

In ancient times, when someone died, families with a good family background would bury some funerary objects with the deceased.

What are funerary objects?

Because people in ancient times were unable to understand death, they would believe that human death was not the final end of life.

When a person dies, his soul will be born, and after some ascending steps, the soul will be reincarnated and gain life, so in their view, life has continued, and some people are convinced that the deceased will return to life with the memory of his previous life.

Therefore, some items such as gold and silver jewelry, daily necessities, etc., and even some living chickens, ducks, cows and pigs will be buried together to prepare for the next life.

Different from ancient times, modern people will sort out some of the items that the deceased loved during his lifetime, most of which are small things, such as watches, rings, brooches, etc. These items will be placed with the urn as a companion to the deceased.

Another thing is to sort out the clothes of the deceased. Unlike other things, no matter how valuable it is, clothing will not be given to others or kept as a souvenir. It will usually be disposed of by deep burial or burning.

Then there are some more valuable items, such as deposits, securities, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques. The designated heir will own these relics as a kind of souvenir.

Emotionally speaking, sorting out the deceased’s belongings is a sign of respect.

Unlike China, in foreign countries, a kind of heritage auction will be held. Relatives and friends of the deceased will keep what they can as a memorial, and other things will be entrusted to some auction companies for auction.

The proceeds from the auction will be treated as inheritance, which is also a better way to deal with relics.

However, among these relics, there is one thing that is very special, and that is the bed.

Bed is a special kind of furniture

Among many kinds of furniture, bed is a very special kind.

The bed has the longest contact time with people. In the twenty-four hours a day, except for the dozen or so hours that are used for daily work, study, socializing, etc., the rest of the time is mostly spent sleeping, and the role of the bed during this period is to assist sleep.

Generally speaking, for good sleep, ancient times had some requirements for the placement of the bed. This so-called home feng shui actually has a certain connection with the later theory of magnetic fields.

For example, it is mentioned in Feng Shui and the theory of magnetic field that the head of the bed should face south and the bed should face north. The explanation in Feng Shui is that if the bedroom bed faces south, it will bring good luck. In the magnetic field, north and south are the two poles. The north and south placement is to comply with the direction of the magnetic field, which is a relatively good method.

Secondly, the bed is also a kind of furniture that can easily produce spirituality. Generally, family members say that sleep can refresh the mind and restore energy. This statement is not unreasonable.

When a person is sleeping, his brain waves are not stagnant. He can also think and think, and the most obvious one is dreaming. There is a saying that his brain waves will also affect the things around him, and the bed is the thing that people come into contact with the most when their brain waves are active.

There is a story about a man who brought a bamboo bed from somewhere else. The bamboo bed looked like an antique at first glance. The bamboo bed surface was very smooth and had turned into the feel of jade.

After this man lay down, he felt very cool in the scorching heat. He told everyone he met that he had picked up a treasure.

But as time passed, his health deteriorated day by day, and he finally fell ill. A traveling Taoist saw this and discovered the problem.

The Taoist pointed to the shiny red bamboo surface and said, this bamboo has been soaked with the essence and blood of several generations and has become the climate. If you sleep on it and absorb the essence every day, how can you not get sick?

After hearing this, the man quickly changed his bed and burned the bamboo bed, and soon recovered his health.

This is just a legend, but there is a saying that you can't sleep on the bed that the dead slept on.

Unsleepable Beds

When dealing with the relics of the deceased, the bed will usually be dismantled or thrown away, while other furniture will be retained.

This approach is done in many places, but it makes sense.

First of all, the aura and aura of the deceased still exists. As mentioned above, the bed is the home that everyone uses most frequently and for the longest time. During long-term use, some of the aura of the body will be contaminated by the bed.

For example, why do some people recognize beds? The first is the shape of the bed and the surrounding environment. The second is the smell of the bed. There seems to be a smell on your bed that makes you feel comfortable and makes it easier to fall asleep.

In the same way, people who have passed away will also leave their own aura on the bed. If other people are in this aura for a long time, they will not adapt to it and may even cause some diseases.

The second issue is hygiene. Some of the deceased died after being bedridden for a long time. It is impossible to maintain complete hygiene during bedridden. Some dander, sweat, and hair will lead to the occurrence of diseases, especially some infectious diseases, which are more dangerous.

Finally, since the deceased has passed away, those who are still alive should continue their lives and should not still live in sadness.

The bed was left behind, and the living continued to sleep on it, which may cause physical harm due to excessive longing.

Therefore, generally speaking, beds are generally not kept, including given away to others or relatives continuing to sleep on them. Especially close people, parents, children, couples, etc. should pay more attention to this issue.

Conclusion

Whether it is life or death, it is a major event. After the deceased is gone, we should maintain an optimistic attitude so that we can live better. This is also the best explanation for the deceased.

In China's thousands of years of culture, some old sayings still have their own meaning. We cannot disbelieve them, nor can we believe them all. We must make our own judgments, so that it is good for everyone.
