"Wearing hot filial piety does not come to the door, cold coffin into the village to the end", this ancient and mysterious saying, not only spread in the vast rural areas of China, but also carries a profound folk culture and traditional concepts, is it just a kind of folk customs, or contains some profound truth? Let's take a look and reveal what is the cultural connotation and practical significance behind it?
1. Wearing hot filial piety does not come to the door
When someone in the family unfortunately dies, relatives will wear special filial piety clothes in accordance with traditional customs in order to express their deep condolences and great respect for the deceased. This filial piety dress is not only a piece of clothing, but also carries the thoughts and remembrances of the deceased, symbolizing the blood connection and emotional bond between relatives.
During this mourning period, relatives must not only show respect for the deceased in their clothing, but also observe a series of strict funeral etiquette. They need to maintain peace of mind and mourning, and not show joy lightly, as a sign of respect for the deceased. At the same time, they should also behave carefully to avoid causing discomfort or offense to others.
Traditional Chinese culture has always emphasized that "the deceased is the greatest", and it is believed that the deceased should be respected and entertainment activities should be avoided during the mourning period. Therefore, those wearing filial piety clothes should keep a low profile and be restrained during this special period to express their respect and sorrow for the deceased.
In modern society, although this custom may be gradually diluted, the profound cultural connotation behind it is still worthy of our inheritance and development.
Second, the cold coffin entered the village and was defeated
In the ancient agrarian society, people had a deep awe and avoidance of death and funeral, and the cold coffin into the village violated this taboo, so it was regarded as a symbol of bad luck.
The so-called cold coffin refers to the coffin that has been parked for a long time and has not been buried in time, when such a coffin is carried into the village, the villagers often feel an inexplicable chill attack, as if there is a cold breath permeating the surroundings. This chill comes not only from the cold smell of the coffin itself, but also from the deep fear and uneasiness in the hearts of the villagers.
When the cold coffin inevitably enters the village, the villagers can only reluctantly accept this reality and pray to the gods to bless the village through this difficult time, and they will perform various rituals to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace, hoping to dispel the bad luck brought by this bad omen.
3. Is there any truth to this saying?
"Wearing hot filial piety does not come to the door", this sentence tells us that when someone in the family dies, filial sons and daughters should be immersed in grief and should not go out to visit relatives and friends. This is not only respect for the deceased, but also consideration for the living. Think about it, if you are still busy socializing when a loved one is passing away, isn't it disrespectful to the deceased? At the same time, for relatives and friends, it will also feel uncomfortable and embarrassing to see a filial son and daughter come to the door in filial piety clothes. Therefore, this custom reflects both respect for the deceased and the emotional needs of the living.
The phrase "cold coffins entering the village will end in failure" refers to the fact that coffins containing the remains of the deceased should be avoided during funerals to be transported to the village. This practice is also motivated by respect and avoidance. For the villagers, seeing the coffin entering the village will undoubtedly add to the atmosphere of sadness and fear. At the same time, it can also lead to some unnecessary gossip and misunderstandings. Therefore, parking the coffin outside the village is not only a sign of respect for the deceased, but also a sign of understanding for the villagers.
Of course, these customs are not set in stone. With the changes of the times and the progress of society, some places may have adjusted or improved these customs. But in any case, we should respect these traditional practices, because they are not only an important part of our culture, but also an attitude and way of dealing with life and death.
To sum up, the saying "wearing a hot filial piety does not come to the door, and the cold coffin enters the village and ends in defeat" is not only a kind of folk custom, but also contains profound cultural connotations and truths. It embodies the concept of filial piety in traditional Chinese culture, the awareness of prevention of the spread of diseases, and the deep understanding of the phenomenon of life and death. In the modern world, although these customs may no longer be applicable or need to be adjusted, we should respect and pass on these cultural heritages, so that they can shine in the context of the new era.
