Why do some people say that only the dead wore clothes embroidered with lotus flowers in ancient times?

Why can only the dead wear clothes embroidered with lotus flowers? This is because in ancient society, lotus meant bad luck. Of course, this is an ancient superstition.

The ancients attached great importance to the knowledge of geomantic omen, and superstitious thoughts were deeply rooted. In geomantic omen, lotus grows in water, and the five elements are full of yin, which is not conducive to health and luck.

In fact, although the lotus grows in water in the five elements, it belongs to wood and is a flower that helps us prolong life.

In the feudal superstition of the ancients, the clothes of the deceased were often embroidered with lotus flowers. After a long time, people began to think that lotus flowers could only appear on the clothes of the dead.

In fact, this is a jealous woman. After her early death, her family knew that she liked lotus flowers before her death, so they embroidered them when preparing for mourning.

The coffin was also decorated with lotus flowers. After the burial, the family went back. In the middle of the night, grave robbers went to steal the funerary objects in this coffin.

When the coffin was opened, it was only thunder and rain. The grave robbers thought that God was angry with the dead and alive, so they put everything back and buried it again.

Later, news came that the deceased was buried in lotus clothes and would not be remembered by grave robbers. So many people began to follow suit, and the deceased put on clothes embroidered with lotus flowers.

In fact, in Buddhism, lotus is a sacred flower, and using lotus is a kind of respect for the dead. In ancient society, after people misunderstood this kind of lotus, it became only for the dead.

It's actually a short story. After being misinformed by everyone, everyone misunderstood the role of lotus, and the unlucky saying of lotus appeared.

Lotus is just a kind of flower, and it has no other meaning. The meaning of flowers is added by human beings, and people who do not believe in superstition will not care about this.

In fact, the ancient people wore lotus clothes as a comfort to the dead. I hope that the deceased will be treated well in another world and not be as sad as before. How much is a practical comforting effect.
