Postscript:

When the scholar was sick, he moved from the Yan bed to the main bed, lying under the north wall with his head facing east. If you are sick, you should fast. To recuperate, it is necessary to fast and remove musical instruments such as the harp and the harp. When you are seriously ill, you should clean it from the inside and outside so that it is clean. Take off your underwear and put on new clothes. All four attendants sat at the bedside and waited on the patient. A new silk sponge is placed on the patient's mouth and nose to verify that the patient is still breathing. A man cannot die at the hands of a woman, nor can a woman die at the hands of a man.

When the patient was dying, the filial son sent people to pray in the five rituals of Si Ming, Zhongcheng, Guomen, Guoxing, and Gongli. After the death of the patient, the eldest son wept and the brother wept. Immediately set up the corpse bed under the south window, spread the bed mat, first spread the reed mat below, then spread the bamboo mat on top, put the pillow, and then put the corpse on the bed that was set.

When the body is parked in the room, if there is an order from the monarch to come, the mourner will go out to greet him, and the many masters do not have to go out to greet him.

The giver puts the gift of clothing on the bed and does not sit down. The giver of the garment is in the west side of the room, conveying the master's mission to the north.

If the scholar's mother is sick and mourned, four maids will bathe the corpse for him, and he will not have to fix his hair without 笄 (jī). Prepare the clean underwear that the deceased wears after cleaning; If you are a woman, you will also need to prepare a garment belt. After the body is cleaned, the clean shells are placed back into the bamboo vessel where the shells are kept, and the left and right teeth of the deceased are opened with the shells.

After putting the beads into the mouth of the deceased, Xia Zhu removed the remaining rice. Then the deceased's ears were plugged with silk cotton. Dig a grave pit between the east and west steps under the hall, in a north-south direction; The grave pit was 1 foot wide, 2 feet long, and 3 feet deep; The mound of earth used to dig the grave pit is on the south side of the grave.

The people of Dian, with earth, filled the grave pits they had dug. Sinners block the toilets used by the deceased. Dress the deceased, and at night, light a candle in the atrium.

At dawn the next day, the fire candles were extinguished and the clothes for the small burial were arranged. All the cloth used for the twisting and single quilt is the same as the cloth used for the court clothes. Under the east hall, a rectangular wooden bearing plate without feet is set up, which is placed in a north-south direction, and its southern end is aligned with the 坫 (diàn) at the corner of the main hall.

After covering the altar with a scarf, the bearer of the candle extinguished the candle and went out, and went down the main hall from the east steps, and then went east from the north side of the master.

After the funeral, the mourner removes the hair ornament. On the third day of the funeral, the relatives who have made great achievements and above are strung around their loose waists.

Chop the decay to take 3 liters of cloth, and the shoes are tucked outward. The root of the mourning stick is below, and the bamboo cane and paulownia cane are no exception.

The filial son lived in Yilu, slept on the grass, and used the clods of soil as pillows. Do not take off the scarf and waist scarf. Between the day and the night, when sorrow comes, we weep without a time. If it's not a funeral, don't talk. Drinking porridge in the morning and evening is the amount of one overflowing rice.
