The voice and appearance are gone, but the virtues remain, the spirit is immortal, and the demeanor will last forever. He left on a crane, and his righteousness came with the wind. Good conduct and virtues will last for thousands of years, and high integrity and bright style will last forever. Virtues can be called models, and their teachings will make people cry. A life of frugality set an example, and half a lifetime of hard work passed on the good wind. The kind bamboo has only a shadow in the wind, and the evening chrysanthemum seems to have left its fragrance after the rain. The setting sun has eternal hatred, and the bitter wind and rain are hard to stop the sorrow of the setting sun. The flowing clouds stop, and the crying sound follows. The wild cranes fly away. The crane has disappeared with the shadow of the clouds, and the cuckoo's voice still carries the moonlight. The cold and bright moon and the clear wind remind me of the old house, and the remaining mountains and rivers read the poems left by the deceased. I still wake up from my dreams when I say goodbye casually. Why will we meet again in the future?

What are the rules for when an elderly person in your family dies?

1. When an elder in the family dies, the younger generation needs to consult a Taoist priest or a funeral agency to handle some rituals. Relatives cannot go to other people's homes within 49 days after the death.
2. When an elder in the family passes away, the younger generations cannot wear fancy clothes, eat rich food, or engage in entertainment activities. After the death of a loved one, relatives should not prepare for the funeral within 16 hours. Instead, the whole room should remain quiet. Relatives, friends or the closest person should say to the deceased, "Now that you are gone, there is no need to linger on worldly affairs. Each of us will walk the same path you are walking now." Similar words should be used to help the deceased let go and feel relieved.
3. When an elder in the family passes away, the younger generation must abstain from killing, sexual intercourse, and eat vegetarian food every day. Of course, from the date of death, the family members must offer sacrifices every 7 days until the 49th day, the seventh seven days, commonly known as "Duanqi".
