skylee Posted August 31, 2005 at 05:02 PM Report Posted August 31, 2005 at 05:02 PM It is a meal / feast / refreshments taken after a funeral by those who have attended the ceremony to relieve them from the grief. Quote
skylee Posted August 31, 2005 at 05:09 PM Report Posted August 31, 2005 at 05:09 PM Take a look -> http://www.rthk.org.hk/elearning/yangtl/studyroom_topic4_p4.htm 喪禮的禮節 談一個英文字wake。wake一般解「醒來」，通常和up一起用。如果你入住酒店，希望明早七時接待處會打電話叫醒你，那電話就是wake up call。wake另一個解釋就不是這麼好，喪禮中的「守夜」就叫wake，喪禮後的「解慰酒」也叫wake，wake變成了喪禮裡的禮節。 Quote

skylee Posted September 1, 2005 at 12:20 PM Report Posted September 1, 2005 at 12:20 PM I don't think so. I think it should be 慰 (wei4) instead of 穢 (hui4). Take a look -> http://bowen.chi.cuhk.edu.hk/week_topic/Weekly_Topic-View.asp?id=128 又喪事完畢，主家例設解慰酒筵，以宴請參加喪禮之親友；「解慰」，俗以為是「解穢」，非也。 Also take a look at No. 52 (you can find the answer there) -> http://www.hkedcity.net/student/forum/read.phtml?forum_id=56¤t_page=&i=690334 Quote
