Ancient nobles would use the "Nine Orifices Jade" to "seal the Nine Orifices" when they were buried, that is, they would use jade to block the Nine Orifices, and then fill the coffin with mercury, which could not only isolate the air from embalming, but also prevent the mercury from flowing into the human body.
Today, cremation replaces burial, but the custom of sealing the nine orifices has not changed, except that it has changed from expensive jade to cotton. Maybe it's hard to accept at first, after all, it's uncomfortable to think about it with a good mouth full of cotton, but after reading it, you will understand that this actually maintains the dignity of the deceased.
The human body is equivalent to a very delicate machine, and in a way, it can almost be said to be a small universe. When we were alive, the immune system functioned normally, and thousands of cells did their job, but after death, it was like the death of the emperor of a dynasty, and there was no order in the government and the opposition, and all of them rebelled.
In the past, due to the constraints of the immune system, many microorganisms and bacteria were subordinate, and everyone was able to achieve a relatively balanced state. But after death, the immune system, which is equivalent to the Praetorian Guard, naturally fails. Microorganisms and bacteria began to mess with it unscrupulously, and in a short time they went to attack all kinds of internal organs, and their decomposition led to a large amount of foul-smelling gases rushing to the face, and all kinds of green rotten juices flowed sideways...... The situation is too dire to describe.
In order to say goodbye with dignity, people will choose to use jade, wood, cotton, etc. to block the holes where the liquid may flow out, and put it into the ice coffin in time, on the one hand, to avoid the smell of corpses and thick juice to cause people's disgust, on the other hand, it is really hygienic and can protect the living from the invasion of these bacteria and even the spread of viruses.
If blood and body fluids are allowed to flow out, it is not only horrible and unsightly, but also very unhygienic. If you have brushed the special on-site cleaning of "Lu Li Lu Li" on Douyin, you will have a more intuitive understanding of this phenomenon (timid friends are not recommended to watch it! Cautious! Cautious!).
