As part of our country's culture, the culture of shrouds also has many priorities in the historical development. This not only comes from respect for the deceased, but also a form of gratitude to the deceased. With the development of the times, the customs that have been passed down for thousands of years as the older generation are becoming less and less understood by young people. What does
shroud 7-piece set include?
As a general term, the seven-piece shroud is often represented at funerals as "four collars and three waists". The "four collars" here usually refer to four tops, namely cotton coats, cotton robes, shirts, and jackets; "three waists" usually refer to linen pants, cotton trousers, and jackets. In addition, the seven-piece set of mourning clothes also includes a four-piece set of bedding, a four-piece set of accessories and a nine-piece set of jewelry. These mourning clothes accessories, together with the "seven-piece set", can be called the true "seven-piece set of mourning clothes".
At the same time, there are also many considerations about middle clothing and outer clothing. First of all, for middle clothes, whether in winter or summer, cotton clothes must be made of clothes, and this requirement is mainly influenced by Confucian culture , in order to indicate a "thick burial" of the deceased. There are two types of outerwear: regular clothes and longevity clothes. The clothes of regular clothes are roughly the same as those of the living, but they are divided into different styles of men and women. Magic buckles are mostly used instead of buttons on the clothes. The coat is the outermost layer of the shroud, and it is also divided into regular clothes and traditional longevity clothes.
Why don’t you have underwear in the shroud?
The suffrage does not promote underwear generally refers to vests and shorts. According to current customs, vests are rarely worn normally. Shorts do not need to be worn after a person dies. Just have a close-fitting shirt and pants. At this time, shirts and pants only have different sizes and no difference between men and women. The mourning clothes only wear long clothes and cannot wear shorts, which is intended to prevent the body from being exposed to wind, sun and rain.
As part of Chinese culture, shroud culture customs emphasize that they can change with the times, but they cannot completely disappear.
