This shroud is not worn casually, there are a lot of particulars, the process of wearing shrouds for the ancestors is called clothes, generally speaking, shrouds are worn five pieces of tops, three pieces of bottoms, and the style of shrouds used to be generally clothes of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty was the last Han dynasty, and now these particularities are not taken seriously.

Generally speaking, after the death of a loved one, it must be parked at home for seven days, and after the first seven days, the body will be put into the coffin by the relatives, and then the husband will come out.
When the body of the deceased is parked at home, there are also a lot of exquisite, the rich use silk to cover the face of the dead, and the poor generally use a piece of yellow paper, in addition to the two chopsticks against the feet of the deceased, in addition to parking the body of the deceased relatives, but also oil lamps, burn incense candles, put a bowl of upside down rice, two eggs, the whole family has to kneel, if the deceased has a daughter at home, then the daughter should be burned with a large table of paper catties 4 taels for the dead money.
Before entering the coffin, the family asked an old woman to come and wipe the body of the loved one with river water, three times on the chest vest, and three times to comb the deceased's hair.
After that, it is ready to change the life clothes for the deceased, before changing the life clothes, order an oil lamp, the oil lamp should use seven wicks, and prepare a bamboo sieve, which is used to put the life clothes, and after these are done, the deceased relatives will be changed into life clothes, this is called Xiao Hui, the small burial is over, and the children of the deceased will take some of the clothes worn by the deceased before his death and the bedding used on the bed to be burned outside the door, why do you want to do this, because the first seven days of the deceased have passed by the time of the small burial, and the things used by the deceased have been burned, that is, to tell the deceased that you have died, don't be nostalgic for the yang world, you have to hurry up and reincarnate.
After the small funeral, it is necessary to hold the bread and grains in the hands of the deceased, and put a dog beating stick, these things are naturally prepared for Jinji Mountain and Evil Dog Ridge on Huangquan Road, in addition to giving the deceased money to seal the mouth.
After dinner, Lao Li Tou invited me to go with him, and I didn't refuse to follow the people, and when we arrived at the mourning hall, the Li Dagen brothers had already completed the small burial for the old mother, and they were waiting for Lao Li Tou to preside over the coffin of the deceased.
I followed Lao Li Tou to the mourning hall, Li Dagen's other brothers cast strange glances at me, indeed I am an outsider who has just come for a day, neither relatives and friends of Li Dagen's family nor here to help, it is really not suitable to appear on this occasion.
"He's here to help me"
In the end, it was Lao Li Tou who spoke to me, and Li Dagen and the others withdrew that weird look.
Lao Li Tou took his cloth bag, took out a very shabby robe from it and put it on, and took a copper bell, and then he asked Li Dagen to prepare a bowl of water and a kitchen knife.
On the spot, Lao Li drew a talisman seal, and I took a look, it was just the most ordinary exorcism talisman.
"Haste as Commandment"
A light whistle that the exorcism charm itself burned, Lao Li Tou flicked his fingers and threw the burning talisman into the bowl of clear water, after turning a bowl of rune water, Lao Li Tou immediately stepped on the seven-star step, reciting the spell of exorcism in his mouth, one hand shook the copper bell, the other hand grabbed the kitchen knife on the table, and then the wrist was flipped, the kitchen knife passed under the water bowl, and directly lifted the bowl of rune water with a kitchen knife, this action Lao Li Tou was done in one go, and the water in the bowl did not spill out. Just by this kung fu, it can be seen that this old Li Tou definitely has real skills.
"Into the coffin"
With Lao Li Tou's order, Brother Li Dagen slowly put the corpse of his old mother into the coffin, Lao Li Tou immediately stepped on the seven-star step, walked around the coffin, and constantly sprinkled the talisman water in the bowl into the coffin
Then with a flip of his wrist, the bowl of runic water was lifted into the air, and the kitchen knife was swept into the air
This is called breaking the evil and also called the frightened soul, the purpose is to deter the surrounding lonely souls and wild ghosts, and it is also to deter the souls of the deceased, because people die and cannot accept the fact of their death for a long time.
Lao Li took a chair and put the clothes of the deceased on the chair, and made a human head with cotton wool and white cloth and put it on the chair, which represents Li Dagen's mother.
A rectangle with six square tables has already been placed on the side, and there is a fairy bridge made of bamboo white paper on the table, and the ancestors have crossed the fairy bridge is equivalent to the soul returning to the underworld, and if you can't cross the fairy bridge, it means that the deceased can't enter the reincarnation.
"Kneeling to meet the dead"
While speaking, Lao Li Tou had already squinted his eyes slightly, reciting scriptures, and Li Dagen's sister on the side knelt down with a spiritual seat wearing linen and filial piety.
As soon as this ceremony began, there was a gust of wind in the mourning hall for no reason, and the candle flame flickered and flickered, and the wood also made an elongated creaking sound, and the atmosphere was eerie.
"Crossing the Immortal Bridge"
After that, Lao Li took the lead and shook the copper bell and walked forward slowly, Li Dagen and his eldest brother held the chair and slowly walked towards the fairy bridge.
They walked very slowly, the oil lamp in front of the coffin flickered and flickered, and no one spoke at this time, only the copper bell of Lao Li Tou rang in my ears, and the sound of the wind blowing.
Q Wei: A positive v, version, and everything else is pirated
Li Dagen and the others just walked to the fairy bridge with a chair, when suddenly Li Dagen's feet slipped under his feet, and he fell to the ground.
The first time I crossed the fairy bridge, I failed, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird, and everyone seemed to be stunned in their hearts.
