What if a child dies and a bald man dies?
children are underage, which is a direct spark. There is no ceremony ... There is no need to have a big funeral when a teenager dies. Whiteheads can't send people with blackheads, mainly because they are afraid that their parents will be too sad at the scene and cause a lot of unnecessary troubles. Just cremate and bury them as soon as possible. China people pay attention to being buried. The traditional funeral culture in China is very particular about dying. When the patient's life is dying, relatives should undress him and put on new clothes inside and outside; Otherwise, it is "walking naked", and relatives will feel very sorry and guilty. Before the patient takes his last breath, his relatives should move him to the coffin bed in the main room to guard him through the last moment of his life. This is called "mourning". At the moment of dying, the deceased must wear a shroud. In the custom of the Han nationality in the north, they wear white shirts and panties, black cotton-padded trousers and a black robe on the outside. The whole suit can't have buttons, and it should all be fastened with straps. This means "straps", which means there are successors. It is considered auspicious for future generations to wear a black hat with a hem on the head of the deceased and sew a knot made of red cloth on the top of the hat to drive away the evil spirit. If the deceased is male, he should wear black cloth shoes on his feet, while if he is female, he should wear blue cloth shoes. The shroud must be of a traditional style. Even if the dynasty changes, times have changed, people will no longer wear traditional national costumes. When they die, they will have to restore their original costumes. Because according to the traditional concept, after death, people will go to see their ancient ancestors. If the ancestors don't recognize their descendants, they will not be allowed to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Before the patient dies, his family must bathe and change his clothes. This is actually the first cosmetic surgery for the deceased. But this kind of bathing and changing clothes has gone far beyond the material form of clothing itself. For example, when the Wa people put on the shroud for the dead old people, they should put on a new dress that is worn in reverse, in addition to the clothes that the dead usually wear. They do this because in the traditional concept of the nation, they can't take off the old clothes worn by the deceased on weekdays, so that it is convenient for the soul of the deceased to come back and know his body; And they put on the new clothes they added later in order to let the dead know that they were dead. The front and back of clothes, like the odd and even numbers of clothes, are the last dressing ceremony held by people in the "transition" of life between life and death, yin and yang. This custom, called "anti-decoration", is to change the way the deceased wears the shroud, so that his soul can't stay in the dead. At the same time, it also implies the meaning of yin and yang by reversing it anyway, because in people's minds, people in yin and yang have completely reversed their views on things. Shroud has become a code of soul in people's concept of soul. Relatives bathing the dead, on the one hand, entrusted the living with deep filial piety to the dead, on the other hand, it also has the same symbolic significance as "shroud". The water used to clean the body is generally bought, commonly known as "buying water". It is a ceremony that can exist alone, that is, a conversion ceremony that changes "Yang water" into "Yin water". The money used to buy water is mainly yin money: burning incense and melting paper, that is, paper money. This kind of money is only valuable in the underworld and can only be enjoyed by the soul, while on earth it is just a pile of waste paper. The purpose of "buying water" to bathe the dead is not only to "wash away the sins of the dead and eliminate the sins committed by the dead", but also to let the souls of the dead know that this is not a bath for the living, but to let the dead reach the underworld cleanly and be taken in by their ancestors.
