technical type

At the time of the first time travel, Ji Mo had considered the issue of after-death, and specially asked someone to cremate himself to avoid the pain of being bitten by moths and rats. There is no more physical pain, but when I think of the possibility, the possibility of being covered in loess and buried deeply, I feel that cremation is better.

Once gone, there is no concern, and there is no need to leave a lonely grave, waiting for future generations to worship.

If the children and grandchildren are unworthy, the future generations will be restless, and the ancestors will not be able to rest in the ground, so why bother?It's better to burn them all, and then scatter the ashes in the place where the water and grass are luxuriant, and the land is fertilized, which is also beneficial to greening and sustainable development.

Later, I found out that this matter of special exhortation may make people think that I have some serious illness. In ancient times, there must be a deep hatred to be defeated. This request of mine is clearly embarrassing others, and maybe it will be burdened by others. Why is it such a heavy psychological burden?

Think about it again, when a person dies, he is dead, no matter how the body is placed, it has nothing to do with him, so why bother about it.

Those who collect the bones, whether they are burned or buried, even if they are discarded on the road or exposed in the wilderness, they are all the same.

Since then, he didn't give special instructions on what to do after death. He can do whatever he wants, whether it's a grand burial or a thin coffin with straw mats.

At that time, my thoughts may be a bit of an indifferent mentality of "it's none of my business after death, so there is no need to talk too much".

After a while later, my mentality changed again. If I could leave a tombstone for people to pay tribute to, it would be like going to a scenic spot and leaving an inscription of "visit here", not to mention whether it is civilized or not. At least he left his own footprints, which means that he has been here before.

It also seems to have a meaning.

After learning the knowledge of burials from Ge Shan, I realized that burials are extensive and profound, and cannot be simply viewed from the perspective of "feudal dross" and "superstitious superstition".

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about archaeological discoveries. If there are no tombs left over from ancient times, I am afraid that many modern civilizations will not be able to find their source. It is still meaningful, and it is convenient for future generations to study history and study the civilization achievements of those glorious dynasties in history.

Many achievements of civilizations that have been lost, if not found in the tombs, how would we know that the ancient civilizations have developed to such an extent that even modern people are amazed?

Once connected with civilization, the custom of tomb burial, which has been gradually abandoned, has another meaning worth learning.

Back to the present, when it comes to burials, it is definitely not pure awe of ghosts and gods.

Human beings have feelings, which are passed down through culture. Feelings are reflected in the relationship with elders, parents, children, and relatives and friends. There are various kinds in life, and for living people, there are various kinds after death. How to describe it?You can't bury a wireless mobile phone that keeps talking in the grave, and say what you think of, as if that person is still alive.

It is longing, memory, and sustenance, the shadow of historical changes, the imprint of cultural inheritance, and the understanding of the world by each generation. Similarly, it is also a master of a certain skill.

The things that can be unearthed from the tomb, whether it is wine that is not bad for a thousand years, or seeds that are still alive, or artifacts that are so exquisite that you can't believe it, or those organs, those murals, and the layout of the tomb The artistic layout and aesthetic feeling reflected... death is like life, through the tomb, it seems to be able to see how those people in history produced and lived.

A person is insignificant in terms of time and history, like an ant, unable to support any huge building, but the existence of this person is a witness, witnessing the development of an era, and making a living through his own experience. A true portrayal of the times, this is evidence of the existence of the times.

Ahem, the most important thing is that the things of the living are not easy to preserve, and the things of the dead can usually survive.

On this point, Ji Mo, who once worked hard to put his work in the emperor's tomb, still has a good say.

The mausoleum exists, the burial exists, and my own works exist, even if it is long and dark and endless, but this existence itself is meaning.

If the closed castle is actually waiting for those who enter, the dusty mausoleum may be waiting for the moment of opening to show the world the great achievements of the ancestors.

Great country, vast history, those historical figures left behind may be denied, but those tombstones left behind, those objects buried deep in the tomb, no matter how amazing or unbelievable, it is still a fact , is evidence, and is the proud figure displayed by the wisdom of the ancients.

Do you think that what you are surpassing is just repeating the same mistakes?

Do you think that walking in front is just catching up with the back?

Some things need a little proof.

In the middle of the night, Ji Mo expressed his emotion towards a large area of ​​graves. The shadowy pines and cypresses cast shadows in the night, like silent grave guards, who don’t need words or actions, just stand guard. Just like the bodyguards in the palace, standing here quietly, quietly waiting for the day and night, day after day, year after year.

Waiting for people to explore, or waiting for people to pay tribute, waiting for this piece of green water and green mountains to become high-rise buildings in the future...

For a moment, he was crazy about it, but Ji Mo didn't pay attention to his feet, and there was a "click", an extraordinarily crisp sound, which disturbed the lights in front of him.

Ge Shan turned around, looked at Ji Mowei's feet, and tsk-tsk: "What did I say, what did I say, you can walk with your eyes closed, you don't even look at the road with your eyes open ..."

Ge Shan with a loud voice was like thunder when he opened his mouth, shaking away all the melancholy in Ji Mo's mind, and he even had tinnitus.

"Accident, accident, pure accident."

Ji Mo was embarrassing, he slapped himself in the face as soon as he said something big, it was really...it was dark, he blushed, his waist was not bent, he lifted his feet out, twisted in the opposite direction, and there was a "click", and he moved again The bones are attached.

This kind of proficiency is enough to show his usual kung fu.

"Be careful."

Ge Shan talked for a while, and finally gave a warning, then turned his head and walked forward, "It's really worrying, it's getting old, and it's becoming more and more unstable..."

As he got older, he also started to chatter, talking to himself for a long time.

Ji Mo didn't interrupt, and walked slowly behind, with the corners of his lips curled up. Ge Shan, the master, is quite interesting. He has always disliked his own existence, but he has never treated himself badly. Be soft-hearted, he is not very kind to himself.

Hitting is rare, but scolding is indispensable.

This kind of "tough mouth" is really not something ordinary people can afford. After being scolded for several years, Ji Mo can still be so optimistic and cheerful. The only reason is that Ji Mo is not a real child. No submissive or rebellious crazy kids.

The two wandered around, and Ge Shan stayed in front of the tomb for a long time, asking Jim Mo to hold the lamp for him, he looked around carefully, wandered back, and without saying a word, he continued with Ji Mo go back.

Ji Mo lost his sense of proportion and followed behind, unable to see Ge Shan's expression, he asked, "What do you think of the tomb, Grandpa?"

"Hmph, not so good!"

Ge Shan refused to admit defeat, but in fact, he must admit that the Taoist still has two brushes, not really just pretending, and he still knows a little bit, but it is definitely better to arrange it according to his own ideas. It's a pity they don't listen to themselves.

Ge Shan, who was so confident, fell asleep peacefully after returning to the house, without any worries at all.

The next day, there were still people coming to the yard to move materials, but Ge Shan was out of sight, and was not going to go up the mountain. Ji Mo saw him sitting on the house, stretching his legs lazily, basking in the sun like a corpse, and hesitated for a while , asked him: "Grandpa, shall I go to the mountains to see?"

"What are you looking at, what is there to see!"

Ge Shan stared, as if he was going to get angry, but he quickly closed it again, "Go, go, you're not calm at all, go, don't block my eyes."

"Don't worry, grandpa. I'll go and see what the Taoist priest is doing. When I come back, I will tell grandpa and listen to grandpa's advice. He must have done something wrong."

Ji Mo knew exactly who to lean towards, and he said this with a smile, as if he was looking for news about the enemy camp. After he finished speaking, seeing that Ge Shan had no objection, he went out.

On the mountain, the Taoist was indeed there, but the rich man was not there. Instead, he sent his son to watch over him. It might be the youngest son. The young man looked bored, showing no sense of reverence at all, and was faintly disappointed. .

"Didn't you say 'the shady house'? It's so small!"

He gestured with his finger to indicate that the height of the tomb was not high enough for people to stand.

Ji Mo just wanted to laugh when he heard it, what kind of innocent young master is this? The tomb, the tomb, is it for the living to stand?This is not an emperor's tomb, nor an official's tomb, but an ordinary rich family's tomb. It would be nice to have such a specification, and any more would be beyond the reach.

It's not an official, and no one will impeach it. If the people don't raise their officials and don't prosecute them, even if they exceed one or two, they will be regarded as invisible. A bride can still get a phoenix crown when she gets married. Can it be said that wearing a phoenix crown is a queen and princess? ?

Ordinary people, if there is something inappropriate in speech or inappropriate behavior, few people care about it. They are uneducated, so what do you care about!It can only appear to be unwise and intolerant.

But it can't be too much. For example, when ordinary people wake up in their dreams, they say that they want to be the emperor, and they seal up the people around them, such as generals, prime ministers, queens and princes. of.

The same is true for mausoleums. It’s okay to exceed some specifications a little, but if it exceeds too much, there will be problems.

This Taoist dared to make such a specification because of the face of money, and he hoped that the descendants of the wealthy households would be able to match them as soon as possible.

"Life and death are different."

The Taoist made a perfunctory sentence and didn't say much.
