Before and after the patient's death, relatives must wear a funeral dress for the deceased. At this time, the shroud is not only a material clothing, but also a filial piety from relatives. There are also many considerations in the process of wearing shrouds.
In the process of wearing a shroud, not only should the unity of the shroud style be paid attention to, but also to a certain extent, the color adaptability is also required. As a part of the shroud, there are many considerations.
Friends and longevity shoes
Friends and longevity shoes are the same as those who die. However, longevity shoes must be worn after the person dies, and longevity shoes are the same as those who are in good health. They must not carry any animal's fur, and they must be made of pure cotton fabric.
Usually we can see longevity shoes are generally matched with red and black. Among traditional longevity shoes, lotus varieties are specially used for funerals, with two main types: "Sancha Wannian Blue and White Shoes" and "Xianqiao Lotus Shoes". In traditional Chinese culture, if the shoes are embroidered with one foot and a lotus, it means longevity shoes, and the shoes must be cloth sole.
Lotus is inlaid on the sole of the longevity shoe, indicating that the foot has a lotus and has achieved the right fruit. There is a saying in folk customs that "the feet climb the lotus and go to the west". The uppers of longevity shoes are embroidered with the characters "Lotus" and "Longevity" to bless future generations.
When the style of the shroud is not unified, can you change your longevity shoes?
If the family members or the deceased themselves have a strong desire to change their birthday shoes, if the overall style of a funeral suit is a young suit, you can also wear the usual leather shoes for the elderly, so that the style will be more unified, but the longevity shoes in the matching suit cannot be lost, because the sole of the longevity shoes in the matching suit is embroidered with lotus, which means that the old man will not disappear after leaving, but will lead to a new life in another world, and these pairs of longevity shoes can also be cremated at his feet.
