What are the taboos about sleeping in a deceased person's room? Why can't a room be left empty after a person dies?

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature. After the death of a loved one, the living must continue to live. The room where the deceased lived during his lifetime is considered to be full of yin energy according to traditional customs, and there are many taboos in living in such a room.

What are the taboos about sleeping in the room of a deceased person?

1. Ventilate and disinfect for at least one day

The elderly are more or less sick when they were alive, especially those who died of illness. Many bacteria and germs will be left in the house, as well as some evil spirits, so we must ventilate and disinfect the house for at least one day. First, clean the house thoroughly and disinfect it with disinfectant or ultraviolet light. At the same time, open the windows to dry the air and ventilate the house.

2. Avoid negative emotions

Anger, quarrels, shame, longing, sadness and other emotions are all negative. Sleeping in the deceased's room with these emotions will increase the negative energy in your body, causing you to have bad luck all the time.

3. Avoid sleeping with the weak

The room of a deceased person still has sick air, so weak people should not live there as it will affect their health.

4. Ensure that the house has sufficient sunlight every day

It is impossible to get rid of evil spirits overnight, so we must ensure that the house has sufficient sunlight every day. If we really encounter continuous rainy days, it is best to use ultraviolet light to disinfect the house regularly.

Why can't a room be empty after death?

1. The room cannot be left empty after an elderly person dies, which is influenced by traditional customs. In traditional customs, people believe that houses should be occupied at all times and should not be empty for long periods of time; if a house is empty for a long period of time, ghosts will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, causing the house to be filled with evil spirits.

2. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Customs vary from place to place. Our country has a vast territory and 56 ethnic groups, and the customs and cultures of different places are different. In the Northeast, after an elderly person dies, there are so many visitors that every room in the house will be packed with people. After the elderly person is buried, the room where he lived can be moved in after being cleaned (the room where the deceased lived needs to be cleaned after the burial), and it does not need to be left empty for a few days. Relatives are related by blood, so there is nothing to be taboo about. Simply put, there is nothing to be afraid of in the room where your elderly live. In some places, one has to wait for 49 days before one can live there. Customs and habits vary from place to place, so please follow their own customs and habits.
