According to the book "Baopuzi": "The gold and jade are in the nine orifices, so the dead will not be corrupt". The reason for holding pigs is that pigs can give birth to children, which represents wealth. The more they give birth, the more families will get rich, and the deceased will have wealth in their hands, and offspring will be rich.
