The front of the coffin is painted with cranes and deer in the stele hall. Two snow-white cranes fly over the glazed tile hall. On both sides of the hall are clusters of green pine and cypress trees. In front of the hall is the fragrant green grass and grass. In the middle is the path of stone steps leading to the hall, which looks very clean and elegant. The whole picture decorates the head of the coffin like a fairyland living room. The whole is a quiet villa with the words "An Le" written on the top of the head.

On both sides of the longevity coffin are painted two white deer that are flying through the clouds and driving the foggy dragon. Around it are painted weapons used by the Eight Immortals such as Lu Dongbin, also known as the "Dark Eight Immortals". There is "Shoushan Fuhai" on the surface.

All the pictures on the longevity coffin use the techniques of powder-setting and gilding, as well as the blending of pigments, to fully incorporate the ancient Tang Sancai painting style, making the entire coffin majestic and elegant, with distinct colors, gorgeous and orderly lines, and elegant and smooth lines.

Inside the coffin, there are several layers of brocade quilts, with gold and jade artifacts between the top of the head and the feet.

Lu Bing hoped that after his father passed away, he could settle down here and embark on Huangquan Road with peace of mind.

Lu Bing did not enter until the body was buried in the coffin.

After the funeral, Lu Bing lived in a funeral shed built against the wall outside the door. He lay down on a straw mat at night, using soil blocks as pillows, and he couldn't get rid of the headband and waistband.

Lu Bing was sad in his heart and missed his dead father all the time. He shed tears when he felt sad. There was no time for day and night. According to the ancient system, he would not say anything that had nothing to do with the funeral.

I just drink porridge every day, cook a handful of rice in the morning and cook a handful of rice in the evening. I don’t eat vegetables and fruits. I have filial piety, and I don’t have any thoughts about the taste of food.

When the family travels these days, they ride in a crude wooden funeral car. The top cover of the car is made of white dog skin that has not grown hair. The shelters on the back and sides of the car are made of rush, and the whip for driving is made of stalks of rush. ; The weapon pouch is made of dog skin, the pin at the end of the hub is made of wood, the lead rope and bridle for boarding are made of rope, and the horse bit is made of wood; the mane of the driving horse is not trimmed. The same is true for Lianqiu and the old lady's car, but the curtain in the car is made of great cloth.

For daily cleaning, the boy should hold a broom in his left hand, with the end up, and follow the person who withdraws the mat into the room. Before setting up the ceremonial mat, first remove the original ceremonial mat. The boy sweeps away the dust in the room, and the garbage is piled in the southeast corner of the room. After setting up the altar, the boy picked up the broom, the end drooped, tilted toward him, and followed the candle holder out of the room. The daily necessities, food for daily eating, and water for bathing are all prepared in the mourning hall as usual.

On the seventh day, the first seven night vigils, Lu Bing, the old lady, Lian Qiu and other people in the Lu Fu stayed up all night. The next morning, they started a funeral and buried them. There were no fewer than a thousand people who came to see off Lu Song and Lu Song’s old friends. , There are also Lu Bing's subordinates, and a lot of Lu Bing's current prestige comes from.

The funeral was held at twilight, and two candle torches were lit outside the funeral palace for illumination. The coffin is still half buried in the ridge on the hall. Everyone in the Lu Mansion took the throne outside the door where they cried day and night. In order to avoid the interference of the noise, everyone present at this time stopped crying.

After Lu Bing saluted all the guests who attended the funeral, he walked into the funeral palace gate and ascended to the throne. Then, Yusi made three consecutive calls of "Xing Xing" to alert the gods of the deceased; and shouted "Qi Funeral" three times to tell the gods of the deceased that they were about to leave. At this time, weeping was allowed to be released. Zhu took out the Ming Jing with the name of the deceased placed in front of the Kanxue, and inserted it on the "heavy" in the courtyard. The old lady was crying. After the coffin was slowly lifted out of the Kan acupoint, the coffin was wiped with a cloth of great merit, and he covered the barbarian that had been used in Xiao Lian.

Before being buried in the cemetery, you must first bid farewell to the ancestral temple and express your filial piety for the last time. This ceremony is called "chao temple" or "chao ancestor".

Eight brawny men moved the coffin from the funeral palace to the ancestral temple. The team that moved the pallet put the "weight" with the inscription on the front as the leader, followed by the offerings, the candle torch, the coffin, and then the candle. Ju, finally everyone in the Lu Mansion. Lu Bing was in front, the old lady and Lian Qiu were behind, and the others waited behind, stretching for miles.

After arriving at the ancestral temple, the coffin went up to the hall from the West Terrace. The sacrificial offerings were first placed under the hall. After the main hall was set up, Lu Bing and Lianqiu helped the old lady, followed the coffin, went up to the hall, and ascended to the throne under the eastern steps.

The coffin should be placed in the middle between the two pillars in the hall, this is the position of the noble person. Then adjust the direction of the coffin to the north, and place the coffin on the prepared bed. According to etiquette, Lu Bing stood on the east side of the coffin, facing west. "Heavy" is placed in the atrium as in the funeral home. Yousi first removed the old ceremonies displayed in the hall, and then set up new ceremonies for moving the pagoda to the ancestral temple. This is the so-called "moving ancestors".

The old lady was still crying, Lu Bing went down to worship the guests, and the old lady and the two elders of the Yang family stood facing west on the east steps. The cars, road cars, and road cars that Lu Song used during his lifetime are all displayed in the courtyard. Because the coffin faces north, the car shaft must face north. They are now the place where Lu Song's soul depends and are collectively referred to as "soul cars" after the Han Dynasty.

The crossbar in front of the car is covered with light-colored deerskin, and the car is covered with shields, quiveres, leather horse reins, leather suits, and flags. Tasseled belts, bridles, and horse heads decorated with shells are all hung on the truck scale. When Lu Song was alive or traveling far away, he rode court clothes on the road cart; while hunting in the field, he rode on the chariot and hats.

Then the horses driving in the car were brought in, and the tassels of the horses were decorated with ribbons of three colors. The gangster stood on both sides of the horse, and the chariot stood behind the horse with a whip, and then the gangster led the horse out of the temple gate. Then, when the mourning guests went out, Lu Bing sent them outside.

Then the coffin from the hall was loaded onto the hearse in the courtyard. After the coffin was restrained, the coffin was moved to the west of the coffin, covered with a towel, and then decorated with the coffin. The lower part of the coffin is called the "wall", which refers to the front and left and right sides of the coffin, which are surrounded by cloth, called "curtain"; at this time, there is a "pool" shaped like a house at the front, connecting the top of the coffin and the surrounding The buttons of the white cloth are one on the front, the rear, and the left. The front is red and the back is black. The round cover of the car roof is red, white, and blue. There are two silk ribbons on each side of the coffin. There are "pi" on the left and right sides of the coffin, and "leads" are also attached to both sides of the car.

At this time, the luminaries are displayed to prepare for the burial.

The Ming ware is displayed on the west side of the car, taking the south end of the westernmost line as the honorable position, from west to east, after placing the line, then turn in the opposite direction.
