I'm just saying

When people talk about five clothes, they think of clothes. For example, someone said, "We are two brothers with different clothes." It means that the blood relationship is very close, and "they are brothers with five clothes and six clothes" seems far away. It is reasonable to regard "service" as "generation" or "world" here, but it is not the original intention of "service".

Actually, clothes are clothes. Five clothes, to put it bluntly, are five kinds of clothes, but it is the general name of mourning clothes made according to the distance between relatives and friends and the length of mourning period, so it can be said to be a concept to standardize mourning clothes. After the death of relatives, the ancients clearly stipulated the mourning clothes to be worn during mourning according to the distance of clothing. The names of mourning clothes from near to far are: Ban Shuai, Cui Zi, Dagong, Hong Xiao, Ma Chen, five kinds of clothes, referred to as five clothes.

Confusing people (sound, Zhan Cui): the heaviest mourning among the five clothes. Made of the thickest raw linen cloth, the left and right sides and the bottom are not sewn, which means mourning without modification. The service life is three years. The actual mourning period is about two years, generally 25 months, except filial piety. The ancients said "three years to May". In ancient times, princes were emperors, ministers were kings, children and unmarried women were parents, daughter-in-law was in-laws, grandchildren were grandparents, and wives and concubines were husbands, all of which were the heaviest mourning clothes. Women's clothes must be worn out, and their hair must be tied up with raw hemp and combed into a mourning bun.

Cui Zi (Cui Zi): This is the second mourning for "cutting down". It is made of coarse cloth and is called "Cui Zi". The service period is divided into three years, one year, May and March. Served in Cui Zi for three years, being a stepmother and a loving mother (adopted mother among ordinary mothers); Serve Cui Zi for grandparents and wives for one year; Serve great-grandparents in Cui Zi in May; I served my great-great grandparents in Cui Zi for three months.

Advantages: This is second only to Cui Zi's mourning. Made of coarse linen. The service period is nine months. For cousins, unmarried cousins, married aunts, sisters, etc. A married woman is her husband's grandmother, uncle's parents, and also serves her brother.

Xiao Gong: It's the mourning clothes next to Da Gong. Made of slightly coarse cooked flax. The service period is May. "Etiquette is lost", "Those who make small contributions are also brothers and clothes". There are three relatives who take small profits, the brothers of ancestors, the brothers of ancestors and their own brothers.

Sick numbness (sound, thinking numbness): it is the mourning dress second only to "Xiao Gong". The lightest of the five clothes. Made of fine cooked flax, it does less work than "coolie". Mourning in March, all estranged relatives, relatives, great grandparents, great uncles, grandparents, parents-in-law, middle cousins, husbands, grandchildren, etc. They're all numb.

After all, the gift of five clothes has a long history and may not be suitable for modern society, but the practice of judging closeness by "five clothes" has always been retained, so as mentioned above, "we are the brothers of the first two clothes." It shows that the blood relationship is close, and "five clothes and six clothes are brothers" shows that the judgment of blood relationship is also correct.

Nowadays, there is no "five clothes" to wear in the funeral, and it can only be judged by filial piety. Son, daughter, grandson with heavy load, wearing a nine-foot mourning belt; Nephew, niece, niece, wearing a seven-foot mourning belt; Other women who are farther away wear a five-foot-three-foot mourning belt; The male parent wears a Dai Xiao hat, and the fourth grandson wears a little blue hat; The fifth grandson is wearing a red hat of filial piety.
