Vigil also known as staying up late, refers to the Lunar New Year's Eve watch, now generally do not call vigil, are called new year, this is also good.
A folk custom is also called vigil. It is a memorial to the dead by the living. The ancients called the wake, also known as the night watch
vigil
It is a folk custom, just like the ancient bride to sit in the sedan chair, the new year to divide money.
Then, it is a memorial for the living to the dead. Because the living people think that although their relatives are dead, their soul still remains in the world, and they do not go to the Underworld (the underworld is our paradise in China, and people will go there after death). )。 The soul is also very nostalgic for his living relatives. It does not want to go alone to a place as far away as the underworld, so it will go back to the original home to have a look before going to the underworld. Living people are afraid that their souls will get lost on their way home, so they will light a lamp and put it next to the body of the deceased (the ancient people would put the bodies of their dead relatives in the living room of their homes instead of the mortuary in the funeral home; and the ancient people used oil lamps instead of electric lamps). The living were afraid that the lights would go out, and that their dead relatives would not be able to find their homes, so they sat all night in the room where the bodies were stored, making sure that the street light was always burning. Seven days of vigil.
So it's called 'keeping the spirit'
The wake is also known as the vigil. The ancients believed that a man should go home to visit him within three days after his death. Therefore, his children waited in the hall of souls for his soul to return. He was accompanied by relatives and friends every night until the body was buried in the coffin. Now, wake is the gathering of relatives to mourn the dead and express their feelings of remembrance.
After a person dies, his body should stay at home for a while, which is called "halting.". At night, they are guarded by their families to fulfill their filial piety. Volume 13 of the book "the first time you love a story" Volume 13: "the two daughters-in-law do not keep their souls. Shen Congwen's border town 20: 'the rest of the people still have to stay in front of the coffin for the night according to the rules. '
Basically, the watchman is limited to three days. There are people who keep the vigil in the spirit shed and the spirit hall in the residence, and some people rent the hall in the funeral parlor for the night. In the suburbs, there are still three dynasties. In the book of rites asking for funeral, there are three days to wait for the funeral. If you don't live for three days, you will not be born. The heart of filial piety has declined. Family planning, clothing has also become a tool. Those who are far away from their relatives can also be there. Therefore, the sage made a decision and took three days as the ritual system. Therefore, it is not entirely out of superstition to keep the vigil for three nights, but it takes three days for the preparation work to be completed, and relatives and friends from afar can also arrive, which is enough to make full use of human feelings.
Those ghosts who have strong obsession with living tend to be excessively attached to one thing, or revenge, or fulfill their wishes. If they are attached to animals or people, they will generally hurt the living people. Therefore, the custom of guarding the night is formed
It's strange that a kind-hearted village woman died at home. What's more strange is that the old man who watched the night for her died in front of the new grave the first night after she was buried. An atmosphere of uneasiness enveloped the whole village & hellip; & hellip;
Two deaths triggered panic
In January this year, a shocking murder occurred in Gaoxian village, Quwo County, Shanxi Province. Dong Xueqin, usually a kind-hearted village woman, died at home one night. After this incident happened, the villagers in Gaoxian village were a little uneasy. However, what happened next made the whole village even more panic stricken. "They dare not go out at night.".
On the night of Dong Xueqin's settlement, her husband Qiao Yanjun had a strange dream, "his wife Tuo Meng said that she was coming back.". The next morning, Qiao Yanjun rushed to his wife's grave, and the scene in front of him shocked him! Han tou, who was guarding the night for his wife, died quietly in the simple room. His name is Han Tianxi. He is a professional guardian in the village.
When the police came to the scene to check, they were also shocked. "The old man had no signs of injury from head to foot. The bedding and other furnishings in the room were also neat, and there was no sign of struggle or struggle. In addition, the death of old Han Tou is also very intriguing. He lies on his stomach and sleeps there, covering his face with one arm, as if he is afraid to see something. "Not far from him is the new tomb that Dong Xueqin has just buried. What's going on here?
A succession of bizarre deaths made the whole village chatter. According to the feudal view in the countryside, Dong Xueqin died unjustly and became an unjust ghost. Did she take away the watchman? Both of them died in such a strange way that people had to associate with each other.
According to the reflection of his family, he behaved abnormally before he died. 'it's freezing. I have to go to watch for Dong Xueqin. In addition, Dong Xueqin's death is called "rampant death" in the local area, which is taboo to most people. Why is Laohan not afraid of it? He doesn't have the money to watch the night and has no special friendship with Dong Xueqin's family. His performance is beyond comprehension.
A village civil reaction: I once heard that old Han tou said he knew who the murderer was. After that, Mr. Han died. Was it the murderer who killed people without doing anything? But there was no sign of injury or struggle on the scene. Who could kill without being seen?
Ambiguous messages in the victim's cell phone
The small Gaoxian village is shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and everything must be investigated from the death of Dong Xueqin.
Dong Xueqin, 41, owns a small shop and a chess and card room. Her husband works outside all year round, and her two children usually live in school. She is usually alone at home, only her father-in-law Qiao Maolin occasionally comes to take care of the business. On January 25, the day Dong Xueqin was killed, Qiao Maolin was the first to discover the body of her daughter-in-law. 'I asked, "you haven't got up yet & you haven't spoken. "Qiao Maolin walked into the bedroom and suddenly lifted the quilt. The scene in front of him made him tremble." my legs are all soft. ". There was a big hole in the head of the victim, and blood spattered everywhere.
Police investigation found that the murderer was admitted to hospital over a wall. However, after entering the yard, he did not go straight to the bedroom, but first pulled the switch. It is speculated that the deceased may still be watching TV or using a computer at that time. And it is the action of pulling the brake that provides a lot of clues to the police. After checking, Dong Xueqin's computer turned off abnormally at 3:04 a.m., which should be the time when the murderer committed the crime.
According to the height of the switch, the suspect's height also has a rough range. Police also found incomplete footprints at the scene. On the footprints, we can see the Arabic numeral 35 and the word "Te" or "Zhi", and 35 is the code name of the military factory. In this way, the main characteristics of the murderer came out: men aged 20 to 45 wore release shoes of size 44, and were taller than 1.75 meters & hellip; & hellip;
After climbing over the wall, we can directly find the location of the switch, which shows that the murderer is very familiar with the Dong Xueqin family. The murderer broke the glass on the door of the room first, then reached in and touched the key inserted in it to open the door. He was even familiar with this degree.
Who in the end has a deep hatred with Dong Xueqin? There are many doubts on the scene, which is the key? At this time, after Dong Xueqin's broken mobile phone was repaired, a name pointed to Li Jun, a villager in the village. After 12 o'clock that night, he also sent several ambiguous messages with Dong Xueqin. "Don't say you're sleeping, maybe I'll go to your house again." all sorts of doubts point to Li Jun, the characteristics of the murderer are basically consistent, and the results of footprint comparison are very similar. Li Jun is a big suspect!
Who are the three suspects
If Li Jun killed Dong Xueqin, what does Han Tianxi have to do with him?
When the police visited, they found something unexpected. In the old Han tou's home, in the residence of his son Han Hejun, the police found a pair of bloody pants thrown in the corner. Han Hejun's suspicion even overshadowed Li Jun.
What's the relationship between Han Hejun and Dong Xueqin? He did not hesitate to kill his own father? The blood test results made people cry and laugh, it was pig blood. However, Han Hejun also told a lie to the police. People in the village said that he had a pair of release shoes, but he firmly refused to admit it. What psychology is this?
Because there is no direct evidence, the police continue to widely cast nets to exclude one by one. Soon, a third person who met the killer's criteria also appeared. It turned out that the victim's head was injured by a threaded steel rod, and the murder weapon was found at the scene. There is also a knife wound on his right hand. The knife has not been found yet. Was it taken away by the murderer or abandoned? According to the traces on the ground, the police found that the murderer had been to the toilet. After emptying the toilet excrement, a knife of 'Chen Lianhe' appeared. Isn't this the village butcher Zhang Wei's? But according to Zhang Wei, he did buy 11 Chen Lianhe's knives, but one day when he sold out the meat stall, he found one was missing.
Suddenly, three suspects came out. Li Jun sent ambiguous text messages late at night. Han Hejun lied to the police. Zhang Wei said that he had lost his knife & hellip; & hellip; when the fog was heavy, Zhang Wei suddenly remembered that Han Hejun had only helped him when the stall was closed that day. He also suspected that Han Hejun had taken the knife away;
Soon, the platoon team reported that Han Hejun had indeed bought a pair of liberation rubber shoes in the village store, and the shoe prints were completely consistent with the scene footprints. The killer is locked in. It's Han Hejun. The villagers were shocked. Han Hejun was timid and rarely fought. Why kill Dong Xueqin?
It turns out that Han Hejun is fond of gambling and often gambles in Dong Xueqin's chess and card room. After losing money, he reached out to Han Xueqin's drawer. In the early morning of January 25, Han Hejun came into Han Xueqin's home again, but was found by Han Xueqin. So his mind was blank & hellip; & hellip; looked back and counted the money in his hand, which was less than 50 yuan.
How did old Han tou die? It turned out that Han Tianxi had a heart attack. Maybe he knew that his son was the murderer, so he kept the spirit of atonement for the dead. In winter, he was cold and afraid in the wild, so he died. After all, he was killed by his son indirectly.
