Are there any rules for Chinese people to wear mourning?

There are many traditional Chinese rituals that most modern people just follow without knowing what they mean, so this time let's talk about ? the tradition of wearing hemp and filial piety? tradition.

First, here's a picture of Mother Zhen Huan.

This is a scene from the TV series "Legend of Zhen Huan" after the death of Emperor Yongzheng, and you can see that the concubines in the picture are all dressed in white and wearing white flowers on their heads as a sign of mourning.

So this so-called ? The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of people who have been in the same situation. It is a very important part of the process.

Funeral rites are from the Zhou Li? The Chun Gong? The Great Zongbo": "The funeral rite is the most important rite in the world. The funeral rite is used to mourn the sorrows of the state, and the funeral rite is used to mourn death.?

By just listing them without expanding on them, you can see at a glance what some of the terms mean, and what some of the terms are for is not clear to me. Just by looking at these entries, you can see how cumbersome it is and how many rules there are in between.

Since ancient times, the dead have been the greatest, so China has Qingming Festival.

The dead are honored, the concept of the dead is great, there must be some class of etiquette to match. To today's society, these rituals have been scaled down a lot, today's rural funeral is still relatively cumbersome, and the city has not been as big as the rural areas, like the general concept of rural stubborn.

There are also many rules about mourning clothes.

The mourning clothes are white cloth or linen (in China) worn during the period of mourning, while in the West they are black.

The rules for mourning clothes vary according to the closeness of the relationship with the deceased and the length of the mourning period. In ancient China, mourning lasted three years.

1. Chopping clothes, three years of service raw linen, is the most important of the five levels of mourning clothes, made of very coarse linen, the edge of the garment is not seized.

2. The Qiwei canes period, not canes period, the period of one year of service cooked linen, for the second class of funeral clothing, sewing the edges of the clothes.

3. The mourning clothes were worn in May and March.

4. The great work, the September service, the great work and the following do not need the staff.

5. Small merit, the service of May, the fourth class of mourning.

6. Fine linen, the dress of March, is the fifth class of funeral dress.

The color of the mourning clothes is also not the modern impression of white

White cloth: the deceased's peers, outside relatives

Sisal cloth: children and daughters-in-law

Daylene cloth: grandnephews and nephews

Shallow cloth: great-grandchildren

Yellow cloth: the great-grandchildren generation

Red cloth: the direct descendant of great-grandchildren (because of the great-grandchildren of the grandson of the fifth generation, the use of red implies a laugh at the funeral)

All of this is not the same. p>

On the funeral rites, there are too many rituals, to the present day has long been simple and simple, the traditional Chinese rituals have many elements, the faster and faster pace of life so that some of the old customs gradually faded out of view, become a real history.
