Why is the coffin painted black and red?

The tombstone is written in red to indicate the entrance to the cave, and it will change to black after entering the coffin. Fushou coffin is a side that prepares for longevity, commonly known as coffin or prescription. The coffin for the living elderly should be called Fushou coffin.

The red coffin is for the dead who live a long life. People over 90 years old die, which is called death. It is not a sad thing to call it a "funeral" in the countryside.

Black coffins are used for the death of people under 90. Generally, the word "longevity" is written on the coffin for suicide or death at a young age. Funeral is a sad thing, so other colors are not suitable, and black is the best.

Coffin implication

Nature has created everything, and at the same time, it has endowed everything with life that continues to develop in different forms and forms. The life of all things in the world is hard-won, but we human beings have explained the value of life in a special form.

Since ancient times, human beings have left an indelible "theorem" on their own death-although people can not be resurrected after death, they can all die. Of course, this is a superstitious statement. If the "theorem" is explained in a scientific and objective way, it is a kind of spiritual desire of human beings-although people cannot be resurrected after death, their spiritual image will always exist in the hearts of others.

In order to express this spiritual feeling with tangible nostalgia for the dead, people sort out the dead body, that is, bury it. In order to make the deceased live better in another world, people have prepared gorgeous coffins for the deceased.

Coffins are most practical in rural areas. Almost every farmer will bury his body in a coffin after his death. Some people will be cremated after his death for other reasons, but they will also order their descendants to put their ashes in coffins before his death. They all like this burial method to preserve the integrity of the body and have far-reaching influence.
