The two funerals are connected, change the mourning clothes, and you can't change the light clothes to the heavy clothes. Therefore, when the mourning of Xiaogong reached the time of replacing hemp with kudzu, although it encountered the mourning of shao ma, it was not possible to change the kudzu of xiaogong to the hemp of practicing hemp; In the same way, when the mourning of great merit is replaced by kudzu for hemp, although it encounters the mourning of small merit, it cannot be changed from kudzu of great merit to hemp of small merit.

Wait until the mourning clothes of the later mourning are over, and then change to the kudzu belt of the previous mourning. This does not mean that the numb belt of the ulcer is heavier than the kudzu belt of the previous mourning, but because the number of ceremonies of the ulcer is simple, and there is no practice of changing the hemp to kudzu after crying. If you are serving three years of mourning and you have a lower mourning, you don't need to do it.

The king shall mourn for the Son of Heaven for three years, and the wife of the king shall serve the Son of Heaven for one year in the same way as that of the foreign sect.

The king presides over the funeral only for his wife, for his son-in-law, and for the wife of his son-in-law. The mourning clothes worn by the doctor's son-in-law for the king, the wife of the king, and the prince for the king are the same as the mourning clothes worn by the prince for the king, the wife of the king, and the prince of the king. If the king's mother is a concubine or not a lady, the ministers will not mourn for it; Only the king's close ministers, those who drive the car, and the right side of the car follow the king to mourn, and what kind of mourning clothes the king wears, these people will wear whatever mourning clothes they wear.
