Why can't people wear daily clothes when they are dead?

People are naked and spotless. Why can't people wear daily clothes when they are dead? As we all know, everyday clothes are personal things. Although it is very comfortable and close to the body, it will inevitably leave stains, even if it is close to the body, it is also worn clothes. Did you say something: "There are no two poor people"? Isn't this a poor man? For the deceased, although there are regrets, outsiders do not know. But for the dutiful son and grandson, there are some embarrassment on their faces, and it is inevitable that there will be some gossip. People come into this world and finally leave without decent clothes. How can they be photogenic?

People are clothes, horses are saddles, people rely on clothes, and buddhas rely on gold. Clothes are also a person's face. Wearing decent clothes when you are alive is also a style. That's what it means to put on a new set after death. Let the dead close their eyes in poverty, does it leave a lot of regrets in their hearts? There are three innovations in life, that is, people will be completely new when they are born, and they will change when they are newly married. In addition, when people leave, they will let the deceased leave with dignity and report to the terrifying. Don't blame ghosts and dogs for looking down on people. Rich people can't see it, but clothes can reflect your scenery.

Some old people always feel that new clothes are not close to their daily wear, but they are stubborn and make their children in a dilemma. In fact, daily clothes can also be burned to the dead on the seventh Memorial Day, which is also quite good. In addition, there is a saying that daily clothes go with you, that is, the deceased is easily attached to the world of mortals and has a reluctant yearning. In this case, he cares about future generations, how can he feel at ease and die a fair death? Customs and habits are also a kind of morality, which is possessed by believers and possessed by unbelievers. There are a lot of exquisite clothes for the deceased. It is better to do as the Romans do, let the deceased go far away, and let the children feel at ease.

When we attend the funeral, especially when we see the older victims, the clothes they wear are not their daily clothes. What happened? Why can't these dead people wear everyday clothes?

The clothes worn by the deceased are called shroud, and the shroud worn by the deceased is very particular.

Who wears a shroud? If a woman dies, the shroud is usually kept by her daughter, daughter-in-law or other women. If it is a man, it will be put on by his son or someone who specially wears a shroud.

Generally, the shroud worn by the deceased is basically not ordinary clothes, but should have special styles, colors and fabrics. As for the color and style, we can see that the shroud is basically colorful and the style is retro and fat.

Different age groups have different requirements for how many shroud to wear. Under the age of 50, he died young and could not wear more shroud. You usually wear three pieces. Old people can put on more clothes to show how long they live and how rich they are.

Of course, the level of the shroud varies with the deceased. The top grade is silk, which can also be customized according to the specific situation of the family.

Everything about the dead is singular, and so is the shroud. They all wear single clothes without double clothes, and they can't wear even numbers. Most areas are "five collars and three waists", that is, five tops and three pants inside and outside.

There is also pressure for the shroud year. Many people's shrouds are prepared in advance, usually in leap years. Of course, now that I buy a shroud in a shroud store, there may be nothing my family can do.

At present, all the dead in rural areas are provided with shroud and trousers by shops specializing in funeral supplies, which are responsible for dressing the dead. The store also rents ice coffins, tables, stools and other items, which greatly facilitates the funeral.

In the past, shrouds and trousers were tailored by tailors on the birthday of the elderly, and the married daughter was generally responsible. Flat shoes were made by my daughter herself, and a ladder was tied to the bottom, which meant that the dead could go to heaven.

The clothes of the deceased at ordinary times can be burned to the deceased by shouting "May 7th". If they are broken, they will not be burned, saying that they are beggars for future generations.

I don't believe this. In fact, when the dead die, they just need to put on their usual clothes, and those great men only wear Chinese tunic suits when they die, not to mention the soldiers who died in the war.

Grandma died, and her sister-in-law came back from other places overnight, but she still missed the time to wear a shroud for her. For this reason, my sister-in-law has been annoyed and blamed herself for a long time. Until now, she still sighs when she thinks about it. I also understand why my sister-in-law cares so much about this matter from the speeches of the elders …

My grandmother died when I was in the third grade, and the memory in my mind is still very deep. My grandmother left after the busy farming, before those hoes and sickles could be put into the utility room. Feeling that grandma was dying, my dad called my sister-in-law who worked in other places in advance and asked her to buy the earliest ticket and come back to see grandma for the last time. The old man is dying.

But grandma didn't wait until her sister-in-law came back. Not long after getting on the train, my sister-in-law received the news that grandma had left. "At that moment, my brain went blank, I couldn't cry, and I didn't have any emotions. The whole person seems to have been suddenly hollowed out, and it took a long time to recover. " My sister-in-law recalled the scene afterwards and told me about it.

At that time, burial was still practiced in rural areas. According to the custom, people will stay at home for three days after death and then be buried. Although it was autumn at that time, the afterglow of the "autumn tiger" had not dissipated. When the sun reached the top of the head at noon, I could still feel some tingling.

Grandma is going to wear a shroud, and her sister-in-law as a daughter hasn't come back yet. The elders said they couldn't wait for her to come back, and so did the daughter-in-law in the shroud. So, what should have been my mother and sister-in-law scrubbing grandma's body and putting on the shroud prepared in advance has now become my mother and another female elder who knows these taboos. Because of this, my sister-in-law has always regretted not being able to catch up with the last thing my mother did in the world …

There is a custom in our hometown: if the old man who died at home is a man, sons, sons-in-law and other men will scrub their bodies and put on shroud; If they are women, these jobs will be done by their daughters and daughters-in-law. In the words of the older generation, let children do their last filial piety for their parents, so that they will not be laughed at and left out when they get there.

When my mother dressed my grandmother in a shroud, I peeked at the window. The bright shroud sets off the bloodless body and makes people feel scared. Afterwards, I asked my mother if she was afraid. She shook her head and said, "Lying there is like falling asleep. I wonder if your grandmother was afraid of us when she was alive. "

Later, my father and several elders found out the old clothes, broken wooden boxes, quilts and other things that my grandmother wore before her death, lit a fire outside the yard, and these things were thrown into the fire together.

In recent years, with the development of funeral culture, rural funeral customs have gradually been cremated from the previous burial, but many traditional customs have been retained. For example, the deceased should wear a shroud, and all relatives should wear mourning clothes, cry and surround the grave at the funeral ceremony. Today, I'm going to analyze why people can't wear everyday clothes after death, but they have to put on colorful shroud. What's the point of wearing a shroud?

First of all, let's talk about why people wear shroud instead of daily clothes after death.

First, traditional funeral customs make the deceased walk as decently as possible in the last journey of the world. It is said that this is a custom handed down from the Ming and Qing dynasties. In order to make people walk decently, they will not be laughed at for wearing too shabby clothes. The traditional funeral custom holds that "the deceased is the biggest", and no matter what the family conditions before death, they hope that the afterlife will be better than now. Putting on a brand-new shroud also means a brand-new beginning in another world.

Second, considering the actual situation, wearing shroud is to avoid some unexpected situations. Because some people have the custom of staying at home for three days after death, if the temperature is low in winter, the body will not rot and stink at home, but it is hard to say that the temperature is high in summer. Especially before the popularization of ice coffins, the high temperature in summer can easily make the remains rot and deteriorate. The rotting remains not only smell bad, but also shed some unknown liquids. If you wear everyday clothes, these clothes have poor water absorption effect and can't prevent the liquid from flowing out of the coffin. The shroud is made of cotton, which not only feels soft, but also has a good effect of absorbing water and sweat, which can effectively prevent liquid from flowing out of the coffin and indirectly avoid the risk that other people who come to worship may be infected with bacteria.

Third, respect for the dead. Scrubbing the body for the deceased, putting on a new shroud, and even having a special body beautician to arrange makeup for the deceased are also respects for the deceased. I have worked hard all my life, whether it is natural death or accidental death, leaving this world will bring endless pain to my family. If we let them wear old and worn clothes to say goodbye, I'm afraid their regrets and guilt will be irreparable for life. Leaving this world with dignity is not only a respect for the deceased, but also a little compensation for the regret and disappointment in the hearts of relatives. Try to let the deceased go on with dignity.

The above points are the reasons why people wear shroud after death. Next, let's learn what are the stresses and taboos of wearing shroud.

1. The shroud is made of silk or cotton, and forged materials are not allowed. Scientifically speaking, it is because cotton absorbs water well. If the body is left at home for a long time, water will flow out, so not only will the bottom of the coffin be covered with plant ash or lime, but wearing a cotton shroud with strong water absorption can also alleviate or even avoid this accident.

However, there is also a saying that the satin homophonic "broken" is unlucky for ordinary people. The older generation will always think of the next generation everywhere, and it is best not to use such things that may affect the future fortune of the younger generation.

Second, the number of shroud can only be odd, not even. "It never rains but it pours", and the people are convinced of these proverbs. Therefore, even if you wear a shroud, you can only wear odd numbers, and you must not wear even numbers. Three, five, seven and so on. And the upper body clothes are more than the lower body. This is because people's internal organs are all in the upper body. If there is decay and deterioration, the situation of upper body bleeding is more serious. In order not to let the family see these pictures, wearing thicker clothes can absorb water better.

Third, the shroud should be bright in color and red in color. This has a strong nostalgic color, because China people like red, which means auspiciousness, jubilation and full of hope. The bright color of the shroud also means that the afterlife will be better.

In addition to the above points, the production time of shroud is also particular. Generally, it is done in advance (except for accidental death), and it will be done in leap years, because leap years have one more day than normal years. People think it will prolong the life of their loved ones.

Summary: People live all their lives, and no one can avoid birth, aging, illness and death. Death is a heavy topic. The death of relatives brings us endless pain, but the living will continue to live. What we can do is to try our best to make the deceased walk with peace of mind and dignity. Respecting funeral culture is not only the inheritance and development of traditional culture, but also the profoundness of China culture. We should learn to look at this social phenomenon dialectically and understand the cultural ideas contained in it from the perspective of development and change.

I don't know what to say.

When people die, who is forbidden to wear daily clothes? What's wrong with wearing everyday clothes? What did you say?/Sorry? It's good for me to see through daily life. First of all, respect this living habit. What he likes to wear when he is alive and what he wears when he is dead, as long as he washes it, I think it will do. Second, there is no need to buy other clothes. When you are alive, no matter whether you are cotton, you will have several sets of clothes. If you don't wear it, it will be a fire. Dead people's clothes can't be sold. People who buy used clothes should know that they belong to the dead. There are old clothes, actually not so old, but 70% to 80% new. It is also a waste to have ready-made clothes without wearing them. It takes less than three days to buy new ones. Third, I have resistance to the so-called shroud. We are from 2 1 century. We must wear strange clothes when we die. I will never wear them. It is unfilial for my children to force them to wear so-called shroud. At the same time, shroud is expensive, and it is not good to save money to buy shroud. Fourth, I decide what clothes to wear after death. I am not at the mercy of others. The message I wrote 10 years ago has arranged for my death. I sent a letter to the old people's daily, which published a summary of my letter.

I will wear a 65-style military uniform when I die. /kloc-0 joined the army on June 24th, 962, 19721changed jobs on October 8th. 1965, his rank was cancelled, and he wore a 65-style military uniform until he left his beloved army. When I switched jobs, I brought back 1' s 65-style military uniform, which I could not bear to wear. It has been hanging in my closet. My life is unremarkable, but 10 years of military career is a history I am proud of. Looking back on my history, I joined the China Communist Party, got a promotion and got married in the army. Although he is a small cadre, he is assigned to the enterprise and retired in the enterprise. The Central Committee issued Document No.82 in 2002 and Document No.29 in 2003, which was specially issued to demobilized enterprise troops. Every year, when Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security adjusts the basic pension documents for enterprise retired workers, it mentions that enterprises should transfer to cadres and implement preferential policies. In this regard, I am gratified. In the army, I wore a 65-style military uniform with a red star on my head and two red flags hanging on both sides. At the same time, I am young and dedicated my beautiful youth to the magnificent cause of defending the motherland. I have no regrets. I have no regrets when I wear a 65-style military uniform after my death.

I have answered this question before. My father is wearing his present clothes. Although he had prepared those old clothes, he didn't wear them. He put them in the coffin.

Why can't you wear everyday clothes? You can wear them. But be careful not to wear even clothes to avoid bad things in pairs.

Who says you can't wear everyday clothes? It's all groundless speculation. The biggest beneficiary should be the shop selling shroud. Others are actors. Living is better than anything.

Of course not, because traditional customs have shroud specially prepared for the elderly. In any case, the old people who died should wear traditional shroud, shoes and hats. It is said that they will dress up to meet their ancestors. There are specialized shroud shops or shops dealing in funeral supplies, and shroud prices are rich and frugal, ranging from several hundred to several thousand.

Our custom is that the married daughter is responsible for buying shroud, and a leap month every three years is enough. In traditional customs, it is a good thing to make a shroud, which means to add life to parents. Or you are not ready at all, you can buy one when your parents are dying.

The style of the shroud is from the Qing Dynasty. Men wear cropped robes and jackets, black flat shoes with felt hats and feet, women wear cropped skirts with sterling silver bun and hairpin, and women wear flat shoes. This kind of shroud worn in Qing dynasty is not beautiful at all, and it is a little scary. Now some women's dresses are changed into cheongsam.

The rule of wearing a shroud, after the death of the old man, the family can only put on the bottom coat for the old man, and then formally ask the person (the dresser) to put on the complete shroud at the funeral, and then hold a funeral ceremony (put it in the coffin).

In fact, people can't wear daily clothes when they die. I think this should belong to a traditional custom, giving people a kind of respect for the deceased, as well as the last obligation and attachment to their families.
