Guizhou Fashi Dojo
In some parts of Guizhou, funerals were related to rituals. For example, Liutun Town of Xiuwen County would organize a forum for the leaders of rural funeral "dojos" and "rituals". Before the forum, relevant personnel would be arranged. At the forum, the relevant leaders would explain the significance of "controlling the wind", the requirements for funeral simplicity, listen to opinions, and sign the "Letter of Promise for Changing the Styles and Styles of Funeral". In most areas of Guizhou, there would be activities such as gongs, drums, and golden alms bowls during funerals. The event usually lasted for three days. If the deceased wanted to leave more lively, they could also invite a suona team. In the ritual dojo, it was also possible to recite scriptures such as the Taishang Sutra of Salvation to ferry the dead. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.

Music of Guizhou Dojo
There were many types of dojo music in Guizhou. Taking the music of the Savon Sect in Renhuai City as an example, the inheritance was basically a traditional way of oral teaching. The learning was mostly in the dojo activities, and the master would not teach alone. It can be roughly divided into two categories: sound music and non-sound music. The singing in Yinsheng music was collectively known as the " nine boards and thirteen tunes ", but there was a lack of inheritance, and it was difficult for the mage to accurately correspond to the content of the thirteen tunes. At present, there were more than 100 kinds of singing styles used, such as "Praise to the Master","Please Tune to the Nine Emperors","Praise to Xuanyuan","Pregnant in October","Praise to Save Suffering","Open Throat", etc. Most of the singing tunes were in the style of minor tunes, and most of the tunes were in the style of palace and Hui tunes.

The process of the funeral dojo in Guizhou
In the process of the funeral dojo in Guizhou, there were the following relevant contents: First of all, when the old man died, his children would wipe his body, change his clothes, and then put him into a coffin (most of the villages in Guizhou still buried him). The coffin would be carried to the central room and attached to a freezer to preserve the body. After that, they went to invite their husbands (equivalent to monks and Taoists in ancient times). The funeral usually lasted about seven days. On the second day, they informed their close and distant relatives to come and mourn and decorate the funeral environment. On the fourth and fifth days, they prepared the dishes for the white banquet, arranged for the chefs and bookkeepers to be in place. At this time, every household in the countryside would send at least one labor force to help. In terms of the formal procedures of the funeral, the proper mortuary and the Taoist temple were the starting points, and the funeral was the end. It involved the arrangement of many affairs. For example, if the deceased had a work unit or spouse, and if the filial son had a work unit, he should ask the unit leader and colleagues to help take care of it in time, and if necessary, set up a funeral organization. If the deceased needed to be moved, he had to contact the means of transportation and moving personnel, contact the location and hall, and confirm the dining place. After the Taoist priest arrived, he would first determine the burial date according to the deceased's eight characters. If it needed to be moved elsewhere, the Taoist priest would clear the way and move it after the Taoist priest finished the dojo. Inform relatives and friends in other places who died, where the funeral will be held, when the funeral will be held, and who will be invited by the filial piety family.(Those with many sisters, big scenes, and wide contacts should invite two managers from inside and outside); determine the cremation date (before or after the dojo) and the urn for the ashes of the deceased; determine the chef, and the chef will lead the team to the designated place to prepare the kitchen (dry packaging or processing with supplied materials); the general manager will arrange for personnel to prepare the materials for the dojo and daily use according to the list of materials provided by the altar master and the head chef, and confirm the purchasing personnel, organizing personnel, and transportation tools. In addition, in terms of the time of the funeral dojo, there were common categories of one day, three days, five days, and seven days. The more common ones were five days. If it was less than five days, it was usually the death of a young person or a person without descendants. Very young people would not even hire Taoist priests to do the dojo. Those who did the seven days of dojo were usually relatively wealthy families. In the past, the dojo was held all day long, starting from five or six in the morning and usually lasting until one or two in the morning the next day. Now, the Taoist priest's chanting time was shortened, and the time spent in the dojo was not long. Except for the night (the last day of the dojo), which was slightly longer, kneeling for a long time at other times would easily cause dissatisfaction among the host and unbearable situations for relatives and friends.
