China is a relatively large country, and traditional funeral rituals vary greatly from north to south. In the north, suona-type wind music is the main type, in the south, string music is the main type, and in some places, drum music is used.

When it comes to traditional folk funeral songs, they can be found everywhere. The "Sorrow" that is now commonly used in the country was adapted and composed by Liu Chi based on folk music. In addition, among the mourning songs compiled and adapted from traditional ancient songs is Shanghai Nanxiang's "Crying Funeral Song", which is the only preserved Wu song from ancient times.

Funeral songs are customary songs sung in traditional Chinese folk funeral rituals. It is also called "funeral song", "night song", "filial piety song", "elegy", "elegy song", "mourning drum", etc. Funeral songs are generally sung only during funeral rituals after the death of the elderly and middle-aged people. The elders of the deceased will not participate. Singing forms include solo singing, duet singing, chorus singing, leading singing and supporting singing, etc. In order to adapt to the ritual procedures of "wake-up", "burial" and "burial" in funeral ceremonies, there are three different forms of sitting singing, walking singing and dancing singing.

In fact, mourning (also called crying) has a basic melody and tune in various places. As for the content, the cryer can express it freely, so some people say that they "cannot cry", and some people say that they "cannot cry". But "very expert", this is a memorial method that integrates crying, telling and singing.

Of course, there are also bands that specialize in funerals, and they can arrange mourning songs according to the needs of the family, and the results are very good. Of course, those nonsensical ones are exempted. If we make a powerful rock-type mourning song, we will probably get beaten here~~~

In modern times, I think if there is no special need, "Sorrow" It is a good mode to play + automatic playback of Buddhist music such as "Great Compassion Mantra", "Heart Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra" + family members to cry.
