What does it mean to return the towel after attending the funeral in the countryside?

It is a courtesy to return the towel. In rural areas, when a funeral is held, many friends from the village will come to the scene with incense and paper money to express their grief for the dead. I don't know if it is like this in other places, but it is true in my family.

Family members, relatives, friends, villagers and colleagues come to pay homage and usually wear white when holding ceremonies. This "white" is a white cloth. When you burn incense and bow down, when you bid farewell to your body, and when you go to a funeral, you should wrap your head in this white cloth, that is, death and reincarnation. People who go to mourn wear mourning clothes, and men in rural areas wear mourning hats or wear mourning clothes. Women, on the other hand, are shawls with long white cloth on their shoulders and some on their heads.

Today, there is a custom of cutting linen and spreading clothes hangers, called filial piety. I don't know the decline, Cui Zi, great achievements, small achievements and numbness have their own essence; Today, no matter the nature or roughness, human's first evil is added indiscriminately. The main family will distribute white strips of cloth to relatives and friends, which is called' scattered filial piety'.

Here, when we bury the elderly, we will give different gifts, mainly towels, bowls and paper towels. If you are an elderly person, most of the gifts you give back are bowls. Just hang your name on the gift book and the person who helps you will give back a bowl immediately. Bowls are big and small. China has a vast territory, many nationalities and different customs. Different regions and nationalities have different customs and habits, which makes the Chinese culture colorful and has a long history.

In the past, old people in rural areas had to wear mourning clothes when they died, which was a bit particular. Generally speaking, there are five kinds of clothes, namely, Cui Zi, Dagong, Hong Xiao and refusing horses. Collectively known as Pima Dai Xiao. Later, for simplicity, it gradually evolved into filial piety and the like.

What does it mean to wear a white cloth for a white towel? One is to wear it to the funeral to show respect for the dead. The second is to wipe the sweat and tears. Neighbors should respect each other and toast each other, and no one needs to reciprocate. And those distant neighbors and friends are only temporary at present, and may not come and go in the future. So, give someone a pack of cigarettes and a towel.
