What should we pay attention to during Dai Xiao in folklore?

First, filial piety. Filial piety wears hemp clothes, a hemp hat, sandals on his feet and a straw rope around his waist. If this dutiful son has been adopted by someone else, don't wear a hemp hat to tie his head white and a leucorrhea around his waist to show the difference. When the dutiful son goes out, he should put this set in a bamboo basket to show his sense of existence.

Filial piety wears yellow linen, a yellow hat and a leucorrhea around the waist; Grandnephew is also dressed in yellow without a hat; Great-grandchildren wear green clothes and green hats; Grandnephew is green, too, without a hat; Great-grandchildren are rare, so they are not very particular. When the son-in-law is in mourning, the Yue family should cut a white robe for him earlier. Fujian opera sings: "Nong Fu is tall, and his white robe should be cut seven feet." It's much simpler now. Everyone cuts a six-foot piece of white cloth and hangs it on his body, which is a white robe. White cloth can also be used for other purposes. Others, such as nephews and nephews, can be cut or not, depending on their funeral ability. A man's elder can't be filial to his younger generation. Only when his wife is dead can his husband take out a long stick and hit him. The length of this long stick is Qi Mei, so it is also called Qi Mei stick. A woman can let her husband die with a long stick, and she must meet certain conditions: she has died for her in-laws, her children have married, her children and grandchildren are intact, and she is old. It means longevity and can be displayed in the neighborhood. At the time of male filial piety: male filial piety is three years (two years), Sun Xiao is one year, and his great-grandson is May; When a woman takes filial piety: filial piety is the same as that of a man, with one year for a woman and three years (two years) for a wife and husband. Others, such as granddaughters, nieces and nephews, are not so strict. They usually take off their clothes on anniversaries (commonly known as "filial piety"). Women should be divided into married women and unmarried women. Unmarried women mourn their parents at home, but they wear white shirts, blue ribbons and yellow flowers. Married parents are Dai Xiao, wearing a white shirt, a white belt and yellow flowers; In mourning for aunt Weng, you should wear a white shirt, a hemp cover, a leucorrhea around your waist, and glistening with your husband; To be filial to your husband, you need to be in mourning (that is, all white). Granddaughters and great-granddaughters only need to wear flowers, green flowers for their granddaughters, and white flowers and whites for their great-granddaughters. Married people have leucorrhea, while unmarried people use blue belts to show the difference. Nieces, nephews, granddaughters, great granddaughters, etc. Not only wear white shirts, but also refer to peers who wear yellow flowers and green flowers.

Confucius said three words about how to honor parents. For parents, "making a polite noise, dying politely and sacrificing politely is filial piety". In fact, parents should be treated with courtesy before their death, buried according to etiquette after their death, and it is enough to commemorate family sacrifices on the anniversary. The above-mentioned traditional funeral dress customs have been simplified a lot in Fuzhou. It is good to simplify the reform, but it is not a bad thing to let future generations know the old customs from the traditional funeral dress culture.
