According to feudal superstition, what happens if the clothes worn by the deceased before their deat

It should be burned. Because of custom, it is believed that he can wear it after death.

It is estimated that everyone knows that there is such a custom in most parts of the country: after the death of a loved one, the family members should dispose of their clothes before death, either put them in a coffin and bury them, or take them to the grave and burn them, basically they will not stay at home, and even if they do, they will only leave one or two pieces as a memorial.

It has always been said that people do not disappear after death, but go to another world, and they also need to wear clothes when they go there, so family members send clothes by "burning" them. In addition, if the clothes of the deceased are kept at home, their souls may be attracted by the clothes and return to their former homes twice in three days, causing some distress to the family members. However, experts do not agree with this statement, they believe that this statement is purely feudal superstition!

In fact, there is another reason for "burning clothes", which is scientifically justified.

First of all, the deceased is gone, the living are like this, the relatives have passed away, but the family still has to live strongly, and the life will continue to live, if the family keeps the clothes of the deceased, the family members will not help but be sad and painful every time they see it, and they can't help but tear their eyes! In this way, it will be difficult to come out of the grief, and the future life will be a mess, which is not only not good for the family, but if the deceased has knowledge, he does not want to see them like this......And if the clothes of the deceased are burned to minimize the traces of their presence at home, over time, the family will slowly come out of their grief and live a normal life.

Secondly, some diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses, which are highly contagious, especially in ancient times when there were no antibiotics, and often caused plagues because of viruses, which was very fatal. And by burning the deceased's clothes, the family members can be prevented from contracting the virus to the greatest extent. Do you think the experts are right?

I think there are all kinds of customs that have been circulating among the people.

If you are not superstitious, there is no saying, if you don't want to wear it, you can throw it away, if you are superstitious, if you don't want to keep the clothes worn by the deceased before your death, you have to go to the grave and burn it for the deceased, which is equivalent to sending it away.

It's better to have less of this and not litter. If you throw that. The deceased owner will be sad. There is a possibility that there is trouble for you.

There will be no friends, there will be no respect for the ancestors.

It won't be like that, just feel disrespectful to the dead,

It depends on your own financial situation. It's best not to wear it.

If the spouse of the elderly person has not passed away after his death, the part of the joint property belonging to the spouse shall be distinguished first, and the remaining part shall be divided with the personal property of the elderly person as his inheritance.

If the old man has left a bequest and maintenance agreement or will, the estate of the old man shall be distributed in accordance with the bequest and maintenance agreement or will, and if not, the legal heirs of the old man shall inherit the estate of the old man in accordance with the following legal succession order:

1) First order: spouse, children, parents;

2) Second order: siblings, grandparents, maternal grandparents.

Legal basis] Article 1123 of the Civil Code, after the commencement of inheritance, it shall be handled in accordance with statutory inheritance; If there is a will, it shall be handled in accordance with the testamentary inheritance or bequest; Where there is a bequest and maintenance agreement, it shall be handled in accordance with the agreement. After the death of the elderly, the portrait can not be placed randomly, and the portrait can be taken down after hanging at home for about a year to three years, if it is not taken down, it will cause great trouble to our lives.

Sogou asked. In fact, after the death of the elderly, the treatment of the old man's portrait is also very particular, and it can not be placed randomly, which is disrespectful to the elderly, and it is also a manifestation of unfilial piety. After the death of the elderly, we will leave a portrait of the old man to express our remembrance. However, it is best not to hang the portrait of the old man after his death in the living room, you can set up a special room to put the portrait, or you can also place it in your bedroom.

Sogou asked. But the statue only needs to be placed at home for a year to three years, at this time we can put away the statue, even if the closest person is gone, then we should continue to live, not immersed in painful memories. At this time, if you continue to put the portrait at home, or hang it in **, it will make the people in the family have dark emotions in their hearts, and if there are guests at home to play, it will have a bad impact on the psychology of others.

Sogou asked. If we want to continue to be at home, then we will often see it, and then we will often be in a bad mood, thinking about all kinds of things in the past, so that we will see things and think about people, so that we have no way to continue to live a normal life, so that our mood will be affected.

The issue of dealing with the clothes of the deceased elderly usually depends on the actual situation. What kind of clothes should I burn? What kind of clothes do you leave behind?

And what kind of clothes can be given away? Who should I give it to? Do you want the recipient to know that this is the clothes worn by the deceased, etc.

Next, let's talk to you, how should the clothes of the deceased old man be disposed of?

First of all, burn the clothes: According to the traditional Chinese funeral customs, the clothes worn by the elderly before their deaths are usually burned together with wreaths and paper ties when they are buried. It is believed that the deceased can also have daily clothes to wear in the underworld in this way, and there is no need to worry about wearing "shrouds" all year round.

In addition to traditional funeral customs, there is another reason to advocate burning the clothes of the deceased, and that is to avoid the spread of germs. The elderly will have certain diseases to a greater or lesser extent. In order to prevent the spread of germs on the clothes of the elderly (especially the elderly who suffered from infectious diseases before their death), burning the clothes worn by the deceased before their death is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs.

As a result, many people advocate burning the clothes worn by the deceased.

Second, leave it as a souvenir: leave your parents' clothes, fold them carefully, and put them at the bottom of the box at home, as a reminder for your children. Whenever I think of my deceased parents, take out my clothes and relive the good times when my parents lived together.

There are also children who wear the clothes left by their parents, just like the elderly accompany their children at all times, bringing parental care to their children's body and mind.

Thirdly, give away clothes: There can be two types of objects to give away the clothes of the deceased, one is to give them to the brothers and sisters of the parents; The second is to give it to strangers in the distance. Under normal circumstances, if the clothes worn by the elderly before their death are of good quality, or if the newly bought clothes are not worn at all, it is the best way to give them to the brothers and sisters of their parents.

In this way, the recipient will not have any taboos because the owner of the clothes is a "dead man", after all, it is the clothes of his own brothers and sisters, and there is nothing to taboo. There is also a category of gifting objects, that is, the worn or unworn clothes are disinfected and given to strangers in the distance, or donated to those in need in the form of donations, which not only alleviates the urgent needs of others, but also satisfies the needs of others for clothes.

Why did you burn your clothes after the death of a loved one in ancient times? It's not superstition, it's actually based on science

Introduction:

As we all know, China has a history of 5,000 years, in this long river, the ancients constantly improve their thoughts, culture, morality, customs, art, systems and behaviors, etc., but also because they are deeply influenced by Confucianism, so they have become a fine tradition passed down from generation to generation, and these traditions are closely related to human life, from the living to the old people, today the author wants to talk about it is related to the customs of the ancient dead.

The ancients often said that "the dead are great", in fact, this is a custom, which means that after the death of the ancients, when the funeral was done, the dead were the biggest and most noble, and other things that had nothing to do with it had to give way, after all, human beings can never get rid of the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, and it is precisely because there is only one life, from ancient times to the present, the issue of "death" has been highly valued, and even some emperors and generals will prepare in their lifetimes, such as building magnificent imperial tombs.

Of course, for this kind of psychology, up to the emperor and generals, down to the Li people, only in form and scale can not be compared with the emperor, but some habits are still the same, such as burning paper money, burning clothes before death, etc., so the question is, why do the ancients burn their clothes after they died? In fact, it is not superstition, but has a certain scientific basis.

It is worth noting that in ancient times, the medical level was not developed in the era, once there was a source of infectious diseases, it was bound to force a war to come more violently, according to the statistics in the historical data, the Three Kingdoms period is the largest population trough period in Chinese history, although the war continued, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of people, but in fact the wars were frequent, even if there were personnel, but not much, as far as the historical records recorded, the number of people in each war during the Three Kingdoms period, at most only forty or fifty thousand people, and compared to the war, The plague seems to be even more terrible.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shen explained in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", "The epidemic and the people are also sick. Lei Feng of the Qing Dynasty also said: "Probably people with similar diseases can be called epidemics."

Although the characteristics of plague are not recorded in the book, it is understood that once the plague appears, it is bound to spread on a large scale, and it is said that the most common types of plague in ancient times were smallpox, cholera, plague, schistosomiasis, etc.

Speaking of this, in the question of why the ancients burned their clothes after the death of their loved ones, in fact, on the one hand, it was also because of customs and habits, in order to let the deceased go decently, and on the other hand, because of the spread of the virus, it is worth noting that after the death of a person, whether it is a natural death or illness, the possibility of the existence of the virus cannot be ruled out, if it is not handled properly, if there is a disease, the consequences are unimaginable, and the ancient medical level is not the way it is now, if there is a plague, It will be a thing that endangers the country, and by virtue of this, the traditional custom of burning clothes, although it has been mixed with the color of obsessiveness and good faith by later generations, but it is actually based on science, what do you think?

The clothes and things worn by the elderly after their death can cause some harm to future generations if they are not disposed of.

First, worn clothing and refrigeration items may contain the personal smell of the deceased, which may hinder family members or relatives from adjusting to the reality of bereavement.

Second, over-preservation of the deceased's belongings can hinder the family's effective grieving and healing process.

Finally, keeping some of the items in the hands of this Rajan may interfere with normal daily life and even make it psychologically difficult to let go. Therefore, it is best to dispose of or donate the clothing and belongings of the elderly to people or institutions in need to avoid unnecessary distress to future generations.

If the old man is long-lived. Then you can live a long life if you wear his clothes. Don't be too superstitious, these clothes are torn and judged, and if no one wears them, they will be disposed of. If someone wears it, it won't affect anyone.

This is a kind of saying handed down from the feudal superstition period, and it has no scientific significance in modern times. In the ancient feudal superstitious culture, it was said that people did not actually know or believe that they were dead after death, and their souls would continue to live according to their memories after death, and they would get up, eat, work, and dress every day as they did when they were alive. According to ancient feudal superstitions, if you wear the clothes of someone who has passed away, then he will come to you, or rather to find his own clothes.

In his opinion, you are a thief, stealing his clothes, for you, he is dead, so he will haunt you every day, affect your life, and make you not at peace.

In addition, "burning" actually means sending the clothes of the deceased to the underworld and letting them continue to wear them, after all, the objects in the yang world cannot be carried by the ghosts, and the objects in the underworld are different from the objects in the yang world, but those ghosts cannot run naked in the underworld, and they must still need clothes, so they are "burned" to them.

Although these statements belong to feudal superstition from a modern point of view, and people will say so because of ignorance, in fact, behind this statement is the nostalgia of the living for the deceased. People just don't want to believe that their parents, wives, friends, and loved ones are dead, and people stubbornly believe that their relatives and friends are still alive, but they just live in a different place. To put it bluntly, these feudal superstitious ideas of the ancients are ignorant on the surface, but in fact they are a set of cultural theories created by the living for the dead to serve the living.

Generally speaking, after people pass away, they have to burn their clothes, or old things, in fact, a traditional saying handed down from the feudal period, which is no longer applicable in modern times.
