What are the omen of the 57th day after death?

Human life and death are inevitable. Death is very important to everyone because it is a reality that everyone is unwilling to face but must face. However, if a person has any attachments in the world when he dies, he will come back on the seventh day.

What is the omen of a person returning to the world on the 5th day after death?

Omen 1:

After a person dies, a "return of evil spirits" ceremony can be held. At that time, the relatives of the deceased will ask a Taoist priest to calculate the time for the deceased's return, and then place incense, candles, wine and food at home in advance. They also need to spread a layer of wood ash or charcoal ash on the ground. If the person comes back after death, chicken footprints will be left on the ash, because the chicken is a purely yang object, a magical animal that can travel between the two worlds. The deceased cannot return to the world of the living by himself, so he will come back riding a rooster offered by his descendants.

Omen 2:

If you want to know whether the deceased’s soul has returned home on the 57th day after his/her death, you can put a bowl of water on the windowsill at home and check whether the water is less the next day. This can also help check whether the deceased’s soul has returned home on the 57th day after his/her death.

What are the rules for the 57th day after a person dies?

In Chinese culture, the "fifth seventh" is a very important day. It is said that the dead will return home on this day, see his family for the last time, and then be reincarnated or go to the underworld to live.

There has always been a custom of burning the fifth and seventh days in our country. It is said that after a person dies, his soul will look after his family and children and will not be willing to leave. It takes 35 days, and in some places it takes 49 days, before someone is willing to leave and go to heaven. Therefore, the 57th day has become an important part of my country's funeral culture and is highly valued.

Some paper money can be burned at the May 7th ceremony. Generally, white paper or light yellow fire paper is cut into the shape of copper coins and burned for the deceased. People also burn incense for the dead to express their respect, gratitude and remembrance for the dead.
