If they have friends and family to see them off when they die, they won’t have to worry about anything in the underworld. The second big taboo of burial: leaving clothes untidy after death People all care about face and want to be decent. The same is true when people die. They hope to go to another world with dignity, which also implies a good beginning and a good end in this life. The third taboo of burial: cats and dogs are near Cats and dogs are not allowed to get close, and willow wood is not allowed to be used for coffins. In folk culture, both cats and dogs have spirits. Cats represent yin and dogs represent yang, and both are unfavorable to the dead. Willow wood is easy to rot, and making coffins out of it will easily cause corpses to remain, which are taboos in Taoist culture. |
