According to Zhao Yuyan's last wish, there would be no burial. Instead, she had asked for a cremation.
Although the old village chief did not approve of a cremation, he still had to respect her last wishes. The dead should be given due respect. He led a few villagers to help build a bed frame out of firewood for her.
In the year 43 of the Shao Kingdom, on the 13th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, at a quarter past seven in the morning, the sky was clear without a cloud in sight. It was bright and sunny. It was also the time of Zhao Yuyan's death.
At half past seven, her remains were tidied up.
At 9:15 a.m., the fire was lit.
The fire burned out at a quarter to 1 p.m.
