I guess many people don't know what it means. As the name implies, this is a superstitious practice in ancient rural areas, that is, after his son or daughter died, his parents and family just tried to find a village psychic or psychic to help his bones get married. In other words, after the death of their children, to help him hold a wedding. This practice is particularly serious in areas around Shanxi.

And in Shanxi, some old people in rural areas think that if they can't marry their children later, their ghosts will always be at fault, that is, there will be no peace and good luck at home, so they must hold a ceremony for them and finally bury them together to become husband and wife. Mainly in the old society, medical conditions were not developed, so some boys or girls died of illness or other reasons before they got engaged.

Because their parents love or cherish their children's feelings, they think that they were not able to get married before their death, and they are afraid that they will be alone after their death. Therefore, it may be possible to reduce their guilt by doing their own duty for their wedding. I have to say that this is a very feudal and superstitious practice, and it is not very humane. This kind of behavior should be banned.

In the old society, the Confucianists once criticized this practice, thinking that it was an evil, and hundred schools of thought always disdained it. Although it was not explicitly prohibited in modern society, as a new society, we should believe in science to get rid of feudal superstition. After all, feudal superstition was a feature of the old society. Now we pay attention to equality for all and believe in science.
