Literally, a person who has finished his life ends up in the bedroom where he lived before his death. But if the literal meaning is not enough, the real death should be like this: the deceased lay in the bedroom where he once lived, saw all his children and grandchildren for the last time, and died without pain. It is a great blessing for a person to see all his children and grandchildren for the last time before he dies.
2. Wear shroud:
There is a custom in northern China, that is, people should wear "shroud" before they die, and can't leave naked. There are strict requirements for the material and quantity of shroud, such as: odd numbers such as three, five and seven must be worn to avoid even numbers, lest bad things happen again; Shrouds can't be made of animal fur, for fear that people will be reincarnated into animal paths after death, and "satin" can't be used either, because satin is homophonic with "broken child".
3. Taboos during burial:
First of all, don't let tears fall on your body when you die. Because the tears of dutiful son and grandson will make the deceased miss the world and refuse to leave with peace of mind. Secondly, cats, dogs, chickens, weasels and other animals are absolutely forbidden to get close to the remains before and after the funeral, so as to prevent such evil things as swindling and holding corpses.
Willow trees are forbidden to be used as longevity materials (coffins). It is better to use pine and cypress for the coffins of ordinary people, because pine and cypress symbolize longevity, while willow trees have no seeds and children, fearing that there will be no offspring.
4. Ways of mourning:
In the funeral home, white cloth and white paper need to be hung at the gate to let people know that someone died here, and at the same time, they should report the funeral to their cousins and in-laws. Go to a relative's house for a funeral and pay attention to the funeral. Before the son entered the room, he knelt down and saluted outside, reported the news of his parents' death to relatives and reported the time of the funeral.
