The custom of doing white things in northern Anhui

Weddings and funerals are the most common things in our lives.

Today, I will tell you the truth first.

Let's start with the shroud. Shroud, as the name implies, is the clothes worn by the dead. There are two main ways to obtain this shroud, one is to buy incense and longevity materials, the other is to make it yourself; If a person is over 50 years old, he will begin to prepare himself. The biggest feature of shroud is that you need to make it yourself. It is difficult for modern children to understand. ) And whether you left it in summer or lost it in winter, the shroud must be cotton, just wear odd numbers, that is, there are three or five pieces inside and outside. It seems a bit unreasonable to wear shroud now. ) When making a shroud, needle and thread should not be knotted, and buttons should not be nailed on the shroud. The deceased should not wear light clothes, and must pull off the collar when changing clothes. (Listen to the old man,

These are all marked with the word "Zi", such as jackets, buttons and collars. , homophonic with "hang up", "buckle up" and "take away" children and grandchildren. For the good luck of the living, this is the only way. )
