What is the traditional funeral culture in China?

Pullover. The clothes (shrouds) of the deceased range from five to seven pieces, and from eleven pieces (but they must be odd), which are put on by the filial piety man first, and are called "pullovers". After putting on the shroud, Xiao Nan took a scale as if to weigh the clothes, which told the deceased that the shroud was bought by his descendants and asked him to put it on to see his ancestors.

China's traditional funeral culture is very particular about death. When the patient's life is dying, relatives should take off his clothes and put on new clothes inside and outside; Otherwise, it will be "naked", and relatives will feel very sorry and guilty. Before the patient takes his last breath, his relatives will move him to the coffin bed in the main room to guard him through the last moment of his life. This is called mourning.

On his deathbed, the deceased must wear a shroud. In the customs of the Han nationality in the north, they wear white shirts and underwear, black cotton trousers and a black robe outside. The whole suit can't have buttons, it must be tied with a belt. This means "bandage", indicating that there are successors. It is considered auspicious for future generations to wear a black hat with ruffles on the head of the deceased and sew a knot made of red cloth on the top of the hat to drive away evil spirits. If the deceased is male, he should wear black cloth shoes on his feet, and if he is female, he should wear blue cloth shoes. The shroud must be traditional. Even if dynasties change and times change, people no longer wear traditional national costumes. When they die, they will have to restore their original clothes. Because according to the traditional concept, people will meet their ancient ancestors after death. If the ancestors do not recognize their descendants, they are not allowed to recognize their ancestors.
