The king's clothes are placed in the east hall, and the doctors' and scholars' clothes are placed in the east room, all of which are arranged from north to south with collars facing west, and the clothes closer to the north are more noble. The cloth belts and single-layer quilts that bandaged the clothes and corpses were not counted in the nineteen sets. The procedure of the big gathering: first lay the cloth belt to bandage the clothes and the corpse, three vertical ones, and five horizontal ones; Then lay a single quilt and two clamp quilts, and at this point, the king, the doctor, and the scholar are the same.

The single quilt is sewn with five pieces of cloth, and there is no quilt logo band. Among the nineteen sets of clothes used by Xiao Hui, the other clothes can be placed upside down to seek flatness, and only the sacrificial clothes are noble and cannot be placed upside down. The king's clothes are not given by his subordinates. The clothes of doctors and scholars must first be taken by their own sacrifices, and then they can be used as gifts from others. Clothes given by relatives above the level of merit are acceptable, but they are not used for display.

When the emperor was small, the king, the doctor, and the scholar all wore silk quilts. During the great gathering, there is no limit to the number of sacrificial clothes used by kings, doctors, and scholars; The monarch used a clothesclip quilt without silk wool, and the clothes and quilts used by doctors and scholars were the same as when they were small. The robe used as a garment must be covered with a gown, and the robe cannot be used alone; If there is a top, there must be a bottom, which is called a set.

The person who took the garment went up and down the hall to go up the west steps. Clothes that are displayed on display should not be folded. Variegated clothes are not allowed to be displayed, and intimate clothes made of fine arrowroot, coarse arrowroot, and linen cloth worn in the middle of summer are not allowed to be displayed.

Anyone who participates in the big and small collection must expose his left arm, so that it is easier to do things; All those involved in the relocation of corpses were to wear their sleeves as a sign of respect. The funeral of the monarch was presided over by Taizhu and Dazhu, and many wishers served as assistants. The doctor's funeral was guided by Taizhu in person, and many wishers started to collect small and large. The funeral of the scholar was guided by many wishers, and the friends of the deceased were small and large. Among the clothes used for small and large gatherings, all sacrificial clothes cannot be placed upside down. All the plackets are open to the left.

The cloth straps that bind the garments and corpses were to be tied in dead knots instead of snaps. Those who participate in the pretending must cry after the pretending. Only those who had worked with the priest before his death participated in the small gathering of the scholar, and since he participated in the small gathering, he stopped eating for the mourning of the deceased. A total of six people are required for the installation work. The body bag of the monarch is a brocade on the top half, and the axe-shaped pattern on the bottom half is white and black, with seven knots tied next to it. The doctor's body bag has a black silk on the top half, an axe-shaped pattern in white and black on the bottom, and five knots on the side. The body bag of the taxi is black silk on the top half and red on the bottom half, with three knots on the side. The upper half of the body bag is the same length as the hand, and the lower half is three feet long. After the childhood, the corpse was covered with a quilt, and the material and color of the quilt were also divided into two halves, which were the same as the upper and lower halves of the body bag.

The great gathering of the monarch is about to be held, and the prince is seated at the southern end of the eastern order with Benjing on his head; Qing and the doctor are in place in the south of the hall along the west side of the east pillar, both facing north, and the east side is taken as the upper position; The fathers and brothers who were not officials were in their seats under the hall, and they all faced north, and took the east as their upper position; The woman and the inner woman are in their positions on the west side of the body, facing east; The outer sect is in place in the west room, facing south. The ministers laid out the mat on the east steps, and then Shang Zhu once spread the hanging, 紟 (jīn), 衾, and clothes, and then the mourning Zhu began to wash his hands on the plate, lift the corpse, and move it to the paved clothes.

At the end of the gathering, the chief manager reported to the prince, and the prince hugged the corpse and wept bitterly, jumped up and stomped his feet. The lady was on the west side of the corpse, facing east, and she also wept and stamped her feet like a son. The funeral of the doctor is about to be large, and the hanging, the skewers, the clothes, and the clothes have been laid out, and the king suddenly hangs himself at this moment, and the master will immediately go to the gate to greet him. The master went through the door first, and stood on the west side of the door, waiting for the king to enter. The king left the witch who came with him outside the door, and sacrificed to the god of the door, and the wisher who came with the king entered the door first and ascended to the main hall; After the monarch entered the gate, he ascended to the main hall and took up the southern end of the eastern order; The secretary and the doctor are in place in the south of the hall along the west side of the east pillar, facing north, and taking the east side as the upper position; The master stands outside the east room, facing south; The housewife was still to the west of the body, facing east.

The monarch touched the corpse, indicating that the monarch and the minister would say goodbye forever, and the master kowtowed and thanked him. The king came down from the hall and ordered the master to ascend to face the corpse, and ordered the housewife to ascend to the hall to face the corpse. When the funeral of the scholar is about to be completed, because of the low status of the scholar, the monarch will not go to the glory; Other than that, the rest of the etiquette is the same as that of the doctor.
