The choice of filial piety time

In ancient times, it was usually the death of a close relative and three years' mourning. Nowadays, mourning is usually performed after May 7th. Customs vary from place to place for reference only.

1, commonly known as "filial piety", is one of the traditional etiquette.

At present, the popular Dai Xiao period generally lasts for seven periods (the 49th period), one hundred days, one year and three years, and the shortest period is the end of the funeral (3-7 days). During the "hot filial piety" period, men don't shave their heads (haircut), women don't wear makeup, and they don't go out; During the period of "mourning", you can't participate in entertainment activities and hold birthday celebrations. In addition to clothing (filial piety), no longer Dai Xiao, taboo naturally lifted.

2. Dai Xiao is also special. If it's a black veil, it's male left and female right, that is to say, if the deceased is male, it's worn on the left; Women wear the right. Those who wear blue discs on the black veil are the dead in the mother's family, and those who wear red are the dead in the father's family.

During your stay in Dai Xiao, you should pay attention to your clothes and accessories. No bright colors, no haircuts, no visits to other people's homes. If you go, people will be jealous.

In a word, during my stay in Dai Xiao, everything should be solemn to show my memory of the dead.
