We have a relatively good understanding of martyrdom. In ancient times, it seemed that there was a custom of martyrdom all over the world. The higher the status, the more people will be buried with it. You will know by looking at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang.

They still retain the custom of martyrdom.

The Fest of the Corpus is a festival for the Merina people on the island of Madagascar. The so-called Corpus Festival means that every once in a while, local people would invite the remains of their ancestors out to dance and wrap the remains in white cloth. After the dance, people would use their fingers to trace the outlines of their dead loved ones through the shroud and tell the children how important this person was. We China people pay attention to being buried for safety. It's really unacceptable to throw out bodies like this!

Cannibalism This custom exists among primitive tribes in Papua New Guinea and the Amazon jungle. When a member of the tribe died, they ate him, thinking it was the best funeral. Therefore, outsiders often call them cannibals. Nowadays, many primitive tribes have also begun to come into contact with the world, and this uncivilized phenomenon almost no longer exists.
