In the past, Chinese people ultimately had two major events: weddings and funerals. Generally, these events were grand and costly.

This is a form of "ritual," now referred to as "a sense of ceremony." I used to find it hard to understand, always thinking it was just unnecessary formalities. Weddings can be explained, as fertility was crucial in an agricultural society. But funerals? Once someone is dead, isn't it just a cup of yellow earth?

This needs to be understood from this perspective: death gives meaning to life. With a grand funeral, a person is more willing to live more diligently, for themselves and for others.

If life is just "coming and going with nothing to hold on to," or "reincarnation" (which is akin to playing a turn-based game), then what’s the point of living?

This may be one of the core differences between Confucian civilization and Indian civilization.
