Why does a person burn all his clothes when he dies?

You may be a post-90s generation. Should he burn all his clothes, including used things, when he dies? Your father's generation knows that. I remember when my grandfather died, the slightly decent clothes were basically my father and uncle's. They took them one by one, and everyone who used them quarreled. But why burn them all now? The reason is simple: no one wants clothes worn by the living, so why do we need clothes worn by S before his death? The only good way is to burn them all to ashes, which is convenient and environmentally friendly! Remember the new clothes that my mother-in-law didn't wear before she went to S the year before last? Don't even tell mom about her clothes? So when you see my answer, you will understand that things are like this [tears streaming down your face] [tears streaming down your face] [tears streaming down your face] [prayers] [prayers] [prayers] [prayers] [prayers] [prayers] [prayers] [prayers]!

There are many theories about this. First of all, it is normal where you will go. Even if it is normal, everyone knows it, but it will still make everyone feel afraid of death, especially in some abnormal deaths. This kind of thing is even more terrible. Basically, most dead things will be thrown away, but some valuable, useful and memorable things will be left behind.

However, clothes need to be discarded or burned, as do quilts and shoes. It's almost impossible to leave them alone. Why burn it or throw it away? Because these things belong to the personal belongings of the deceased, they actually have no practical significance and have no effect of staying. Clothes, trousers and shoes are impossible for anyone to wear, and it is useless to keep them. Moreover, they occupy space, so they will be discarded or burned after the funeral of the deceased.

Moreover, most deaths are caused by illness at the last minute, so it is very likely that there are some bacteria and viruses on clothes and quilts, which have a certain impact on normal people. And these clothes belong to the deceased and need to be taken away by the deceased. Just like wearing a shroud, clothes are actually different from other things. Clothes can be buried and taken away together, burned to the dead, or directly thrown into the trash can.

Of course, the practice of burning clothes is actually to deal with some useless relics Of course, it can also be said to be similar to burning paper money in funeral culture. In the funeral culture, everything needed is given to the dead relatives by burning, such as burning paper money and burning some paper things. This is a cultural tradition. Of course, the clothes of the people who were burned to death are actually letting the deceased take personal things.

There are three ways to dispose of clothes, one is to burn the clothes of the deceased, the other is to throw them into trash cans or other places as garbage, and the third is to bury the clothes of the deceased in the burial place of the deceased. Of course, cremation will cremate clothes and bodies together, but burial means burning or throwing away or burying them.

Because basically no one will wear the clothes worn by the deceased, since it is useless not to wear them, it must be disposed of, and there are only two or three ways to deal with them, and fire is actually one of them, so it is nothing strange to burn the clothes of the deceased, and it is also the main effective way to prevent the spread of some unknown viruses, so it is nothing strange.

After my friend's mother died, many clothes were left at home as a souvenir. One day, I received a phone call from my friend, saying that his mother had given him no clothes to wear and it was too cold. My friend and his wife took a small quilt and covered it where the urn was placed. I said it's useless for you to do so. Take out your mother's clothes and burn them for her. After they burned it, his mother dreamed that the clothes were not cold.

Why does a person burn all his clothes when he dies?

I asked the Taoist priest this question. After a person dies, his relatives will burn the clothes he wore or didn't wear before his death. Why? That is, the Taoist priest said that when the deceased went to the underworld, he could get his clothes before he died, so that he would not go to the underworld without wearing them. Naked.

People can't be resurrected after death. It makes sense to burn all the clothes after death. Let me say three things.

First, there has been a saying since ancient times that when people die, they will go to the Elysium, the Western Heaven and another world. When they get to that place, they have to live, dress and eat, so they can't eat, use or wear less after death.

Second, some people had diseases before their lives, especially infectious diseases, and some people died because of car accidents, suicides and other abnormal deaths. The clothes worn by these people after death are generally burned and cannot be given away. I believe everyone knows this truth, which is the same as buying a house. After some houses are bought, such problems will always occur. They either stay sick all the time, or wake up at night, and the next day is normal, but it feels strange.

Third, after death, the most sad thing is the relatives around you. If the clothes used or worn by the deceased are not burned, the relatives at home will be sad once they see them, especially the elderly, who can't stand the blow and are prone to excessive sadness and accidents.

Finally, burn the clothes of the deceased. This is also the last respect for the deceased. Don't throw them away or throw them about.

Let me answer, for reference only.

1, after people left, the family was very sad. They often recall the past and see what their loved ones have used. Naturally, they are more sad. If they see something of their deceased relatives all the year round, they will be sad for a long time and make people feel sad.

2. When an old man dies, he will die of some disease. Clothes can't be given away or kept for use. Moreover, some people died of illness rather than natural causes. The disease is likely to spread. Doctors usually explain, burn the clothes together. Some people may die unexpectedly. Everyone felt unlucky, so they burned their clothes.

3. A custom in rural areas. When the old man died, he burned his clothes, indicating that his relatives were there, and they were not short of clothes and food, and they were not sick. Some even buy paper clothes to burn, saying that the more they burn, the more clothes their loved ones have in the world. This is an emotional sustenance. In short, everyone will leave this world. The starting point of life is time, and the end point is uncertain. Treat life and death indifferently, without fuss or mystery. Burning the clothes of relatives is also a kind of respect.

It seems that many places do this. It's the same here If someone dies, after the funeral, the family will clean up the clothes he wore before his death. At this time, a special person will take the initiative to clean up these things, and the owner will give some small money to thank the people who cleaned them. Generally, people who do these jobs are mentally or psychologically abnormal in the village, which is what we commonly call village officials!

Why does a person burn all his clothes when he dies? The older generation thought that when people died, they would go to the underworld. The underworld and the dead belong to the same world, and their clothes are burned, which means they are sent to the underworld for use there. It's not like there's nothing there, just wandering around like a ghost.

Another important reason is that the patient stayed in bed at his parents' time before his death. His bedding, clothes and shoes were all dirty, so he burned them to get rid of bad luck. When he died, he left the real world forever, and burned his clothes to stop thinking about things and relieve his pain!

That's why it's so wasteful [stunned]

When people die, they burn their belongings and get rid of their clothes, so that the deceased can get a gift in another world; Nowadays, people live a rich life, and it is worthless to keep the relics of the deceased.

This phenomenon is more common in rural areas. The traditional cultural atmosphere in rural areas is stronger than that in cities, and culture creates inheritance, so there are more traditional customs in rural areas. As a very important event for people's lives, the customs and rules handed down in rural areas are extremely particular. Today, let's talk about a funeral custom in rural areas: after the death of a relative, burn his clothes. What is the reason? This is not just superstition.

From a scientific point of view, man is actually an animal. Once the human body dies, it is no different from animals, and finally dust returns to dust. But the ancients didn't see it that way! The ancients thought that we humans were different from other creatures. After we die, everything will not come to an abrupt end, and everything in the world will continue to run. We just left the world we live in and went to another world! In another world, we are still alive, we still have food and clothing, and we still have daily necessities. Therefore, the ancients believed that people should burn their clothes before they died, hoping that the deceased could put on their clothes before they died in another world.

By the same token, before burying the dead, bamboo coffins are burned in many places. Some fashionable families and even paper cars have the same purpose as burning clothes. I hope the dead will live better in another world!

Secondly, the main reason is that we often feel sad to see the clothes of the deceased at home. The so-called thinking about people is the reason why we burn. I remember that after my mother died for many years, I accidentally cleaned the cupboard and saw a sweater worn by my mother, which I knitted for her when I was in Jinan. I stared at the sweater for a long time, only to find that my mother's hair was still on it. At that time, the sadness in my heart immediately overflowed my whole heart and tears fell on my clothes.

Perhaps it is to avoid thinking about things and people, and once again evoke the pain of missing loved ones, and I have to burn the relics of the deceased before I die. Otherwise, it's just to ease my mood. Seeing these clothes will naturally remind me of all kinds of things before my loved ones died, thus causing my own bereavement. Some expensive clothes, thousands of them may not be willing to burn, but if they are given away, most people will not want them and will feel taboo. After all, it belongs to the deceased. Therefore, it is better to burn it all than to see it at home.

There is also a saying that it is to eliminate the fear of the living. Because some people are too timid to meet their closest relatives when they die. Burning the clothes of these deceased relatives is actually to eliminate the fear of some timid children and women, so as not to have nightmares at night.

China's funeral culture has been passed down for thousands of years, which can't be said to be feudal superstition. For a long time, people strictly abide by these funeral customs handed down by their ancestors, which is not only a kind of respect for their deceased relatives by the living, but also a way for them to mourn and get spiritual comfort.
