Wearing linen and wearing filial piety involves the mourning dress system in traditional Chinese culture.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the five-service system was established for the first time. Depending on the distance between blood relatives, five different mourning garments are prescribed.

The clothing system is divided into chopping decay, Qi decay, big gong, small gong and hemp, and the length of the mourning period, the thickness of the mourning dress texture and its production are different.

According to the regulations, the closer the blood relationship, the heavier the uniformity, and the sparse the blood relationship, the lighter the uniform.

At funerals, Chinese people avoid wearing gorgeous clothes, and family members will wear linen and filial piety, which is called "Shangxiao".

The colors of filial piety are white, black, blue, and green. Sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters have the most intimate relationship, and they should wear white clothes and trousers made of cotton.

The Taoist chief said: "This is the first to go, and the age of the old man is enough to be our father, so it is natural for the younger generation to wear linen and filial piety to the old man." There are gods three feet above their heads, but don't ask about the future when doing good deeds, not to mention that we have to rely on this strict filial piety shirt to escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers!"

This girl is naturally wearing the heavy filial piety, and the others are wearing the ordinary filial piety shirt.

When everyone was about to walk outside the house, the girl stepped forward and stopped everyone, and everyone was stunned and stopped.

I saw that the girl knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to everyone, and said with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, I ...... be worshiped by my little sister!"

Immediately afterwards, it seemed that there were a thousand words that could no longer be spoken, and the whole person was unable to cry.

The fat guy hurriedly went up and helped the girl up from the ground, "Sister, what are you doing here, tormenting us, how can we stand your knees?!"

"Yes, from now on, we will live and die together, and we will never come to these polite acts again......" Zhang Daochang kept sighing and shook his head, "Okay, let's gossip less, hurry up and bury the old man!"

This "into the burial" is also known as "into the wood", "falling wood".

In a large family with a large population, filial sons and grandsons and descendants and nephews all knelt around the coffin, and there was no one else in her family, but the girl knelt in front of the coffin herself.

The bottom of the coffin is covered with a layer of lime, covered with a quilt, and the two ends are separated from the "ingots pillow" for the corpse to rest its feet.

On both sides were placed the deceased's favorite things, and the girl put the guqin aside.

Then cover the "heavy quilt" in turn, the first cover should be sent by the filial son and grandson, commonly known as the "descendant quilt", and then report the funeral list aloud, called the "newspaper list".

These things were all bought by Zhang Daochang in the "Zhang Jide Coffin Shop".

After the report is completed, the clothes are burned, put into a paper bag, and put into the pocket of the deceased.

Then they lifted the old man and put him in the coffin and covered it with a red cloth.

Before the coffin was covered, the girl stood under the eaves and said loudly: "Daddy, don't be afraid, it's on the road——!"

Everyone replied: "——! on the road"

Shout three times in a row, and then nail the coffin. At this time, the girl knelt down, wept loudly, and said goodbye to the body.

Then the girl made a flag, which was originally the matter of the eldest son, but there was no son in the family, and everything was done by the girl.

This banner is the soul flag, and the spirit flag and the brazier are both started at the time of the funeral.

The soul of the deceased is guided by the guide flag to the cemetery, and after the burial, the guide flag is erected in front of the tomb, which is the symbol of the soul of the deceased.

At the time of the funeral, the eldest son or eldest grandson, that is, the male of the family, threw the brazier, and the brazier was thrown in order to "make it easier" for the deceased on the way to the funeral.

In the brazier is burned paper money, that is, from the beginning of the funeral to the end of the funeral, relatives and friends burned paper money in front of the coffin of the deceased, breaking the brazier, and the paper money in the basin is scattered.

The so-called "roadblockers" will run up to grab paper money, and the "soul" of the deceased will not be stopped halfway, and they will be able to reach the underworld smoothly, and they will not become lonely ghosts.

The fat guy took on the task of smashing the brazier, there was no way, there was no one else in the girl's family, so he had to be helped by everyone.

This Taoist chief did everything he should have done, and at this time, the girl was not only crying bitterly, but also grateful to everyone.

The carriage started slowly, and everyone and the girl walked towards the west gate of the city with a heavy heart.

Everyone saw the fragility of life, and the officers and soldiers of the Liang Dynasty disregarded people's lives and treated the people as inappropriate. It also inspired the determination of everyone to fight against it.

When I walked to the west gate, it seemed to be noisy, and it turned out that the officers and soldiers were checking the people out of the city one by one.

Those officers and soldiers are very happy to have such a good opportunity. They can take this opportunity to blackmail and enrich themselves.

When I saw something I liked, I insisted that this thing of yours might have been used by the thieves who killed the officers and soldiers, and you should stay for review and review.

Who dares to say a word, unless you don't want to live, they can send you to that prison with a word, this loss of things is better than losing your head!

Especially when encountering the slender, young and beautiful woman, the officers and soldiers were even more entangled.

The hand kept groping around the protruding part of the body, and in the name of searching for whether there were swords and other murder weapons hidden on the body.

What's more, he was led into the small black room at the back alone, from the inside out, carefully, seriously, and did a thorough search.

Some of the women's families or husbands waited anxiously outside for a long time.

What came out was often a woman with a disheveled hair and a disheveled belt, and left in a panic. suffered a dumb loss, but who dared to squeak out half a voice.

attracted the other soldiers, a "hey, hey, hey" cheap laugh, the next one came, so he hurriedly learned the same, for fear that he would not be able to get cheap, and suffered a loss.

Just like that, one by one, the people who went out of the city naturally crowded a lot there.

When Shi Jingjiao and Zhang Daochang and the others saw this, not only did they frown, but they became anxious in their hearts, the longer this time passed, the more unfavorable it became for them.

It was their turn, and the soldier guarding the door shouted, "What are you doing?"

Everyone is so angry in their hearts, isn't this nonsense, can't they really see what these people are doing?

Zhang Daochang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Official, the old man in this family has passed away, we have to go out of the city to bury it, and ask the official to raise his noble hand and let us out of the city, we have chosen the time, I am afraid that the auspicious time will be delayed!"

The soldier blew his beard and glared at him: "Heh, you are so strange, you should open this city for your family! You can go out of the city whenever you want? It's really a joke, it depends on whether my grandfather is happy or not!"

When everyone heard this, they were even more angry, if they weren't in a hurry to escape, they really couldn't have killed him with one sword!

Zhang Daochang held back his anger, nodded and said, "Please also ask the official to raise your noble hand ......!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong? I think I really need to take a good look at it!"

As the soldier spoke, his eyes glanced to and fro for the coffin in the carriage.

"Is there really a dead man in here?" the soldier circled around the carriage with a suspicious face, "open it and take a look!"

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect this guy to make such a request! If this was really opened, the wounds on the old man's body would be discovered by them, and the stuffing would be exposed.

Everyone's fists clenched all at once, and it seemed that they really had to fight hard at a critical time!

When the girl heard that the coffin was to be opened, she threw herself on the coffin with bitter tears and protected it with her hands.

Now the soldier was even more suspicious, and shouted loudly, "What's the matter, why are you so afraid of inspection?"

Then he stared at the girl, because of her crying, he heard that she was a woman, not only "hey, hey, hey" a wicked laugh.

After taking a closer look at the girl, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that she was not beautiful.

Isn't there such a saying: If you want to be pretty, you must be filial! This girl's white filial piety shirt shows out a strange beauty.

Then the soldier looked everyone up and down, and then looked back at the notice posted on the wall.

When everyone looked up, they were shocked to see the images of several people depicted on it.

It's just that he is wearing that filial piety shirt now, and his head and body are tightly wrapped, and ordinary people can't distinguish it. But that's it, after a long time, it's still easy to show flaws.

The guy watched it for a long time, but he couldn't see what it was. He also belongs to the master of the goose plucking, and he always feels that he can't easily let everyone go.

Then he rolled his eyes, and said in a long voice: "You are very suspicious, come here, I will search carefully!" and waved his hand to the girl.

When the girl heard his words, her face turned white with fright, and she trembled and said, "Official...... Official...... I...... Did you call me......?"

Because she saw that the woman who had just been led into the small black room by the official had been ruined.

"Yes, I suspect now that you are the woman in the notice, come in with me, don't talk nonsense!" the soldier kept swallowing and spitting, and the monkey shouted at her urgently.

"No, no, no!" the girl clung to the coffin, crying, trembling and despairing.

His closest father died, and she had lost hope in everything, but when her whole nerves were about to collapse, she met the fat guy.

suddenly ignited her yearning for a better life. But now the official wants to humiliate himself in front of him.

Even if he fights to the death, he must keep his innocence, and he must not be allowed to look down on himself.

She secretly made up her mind, as long as the official was close to her side, she would crash into her father's coffin and fight to the death.

When everyone heard the soldier's words, they were also surprised, especially the fat guy, whose eyes were red. At once he walked to the carriage and felt his hand under the coffin.

Because they were afraid of accidents, they pressed the sword under the coffin.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the soldier who was walking towards the girl, and pushed the coffin open, holding the handle of the knife in his hand.

As soon as the soldier approached the girl, he slashed him......
