Characteristics of mourning ceremony

It can be seen that the traditional etiquette is based on the material of mourning clothes and the length of time to wear mourning clothes, to reflect the difference between blood relationship, kinship relationship and sparse relationship. In addition to five clothes, there was a lighter way of mourning in ancient times, called naked clothes. According to historical records, when friends go to the funeral in person, they should also wear hemp at the mourning hall or funeral; If it is abroad, it can be avoided. Bare, it is bare left shoulder; Bareheaded means not wearing a crown, but tying a bun with a cloth belt.

The funeral customs in modern China were influenced by the West, and mourning clothes changed greatly. Usually, when bidding farewell to the deceased and mourning for the deceased, a small yellow flower is pinned to the left chest and a black veil is wrapped around the left arm. Some women died and their relatives put a white velvet flower in their hair. Compared with ancient mourning, the mourning methods of these symbols are greatly simplified.
