According to the introduction of the older generation, at present, the most common traditional coffin in China is the primary color, that is, the color of wood itself, which is generally used for normal funerals, representing the meaning of conforming to nature. If you die unusually, or get sick, or get cut, or give up your life to commit suicide, you will usually choose a black coffin, which represents a heavy burden. Often this way of leaving is the most sudden and painful for the family.
In addition to these two dark coffins, white coffins are rare, but not common does not mean that there are no. In fact, white coffins are for underage teenagers or unmarried women. They came to this world for nothing, but left this world for some reason. They are ignorant and beautiful, and do not feel the sinister world and the unbearable humanity. So they use white to represent purity and make coffins, hoping that they will come to this world in vain and leave cleanly!
Apart from these sad parting, in China, it symbolizes festive red, and some of them are made into coffins, not to celebrate this person's departure, but more as a blessing. Generally, red coffins are for elderly people who are 80 years old and have no disease. They lived for a long time during this period, tasted the ups and downs, and finally died without a disease, which is a blessing for the old man's death and worth rejoicing!
Of course, in addition to these, there are gold coffins that are basically not seen now. They are often seen in film and television dramas and used in the homes of emperors and talents, symbolizing supreme rights and honors. Golden coffins are not common now. After all, it is a society ruled by law, and everyone is equal. Gold coffins are naturally uncommon!
So in fact, the color of the coffin is also very particular. In fact, the Chinese nation has many rules in the most basic funeral etiquette. As a junior, I still need to know more!
