Rural Seventh Day Customs

1. In my hometown, there is a saying that the first seven days are for noodles, and the second seven days are for rice. Therefore, on the first seven days, you should bring a bowl of noodles, on the second seven days, you should bring rice, and on the fifth seven days, you should bring offerings such as "fairy peaches, fruits and trees". After the first seven days, one day is deducted for every "seven", which means that each "seven" is actually only six days, and it will be exactly one month after five "sevens" are completed.
2. According to Chinese funeral customs, it is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will return home on the "first seven days". Family members should prepare a dinner for the soul before the soul comes back, and go to bed early and avoid the family. It is said that when the soul of the deceased sees his family members, he will be worried and suffer in the six realms of reincarnation, which will affect his reincarnation as a human being. After the first seven days, the ancestors will ascend the Wangxiang Terrace and begin their journey to the underworld, never to return.
