How old is the coffin of the old man?

Old people over 50 can make coffins, which is a traditional custom in some rural areas of China in the past, and it can also be said to be a cultural phenomenon in the old countryside.

Coffin, that is, coffin, is commonly known as Shoucai, Shoumu, Laowu and Laomu. According to the old folk custom in China, people can't make coffins until their birthdays, so they are called Shoucai. Similarly, after reaching the age of longevity, you can also make shroud and birthday quilt, which is called adding happiness and longevity.

In the past, it was thought that husbands or wives could make coffins after reaching the age of longevity. In some places, it is marked by a man's birthday. You can't make a coffin until you are old enough to celebrate your birthday.

In some places, as long as one of the old men and women reaches the end of their lives, they can be used as coffins. Because in the old society, it was common for some men in rural areas to marry older wives, and the age difference was three to ten years.

These are all because of the differences between one country and one custom, which makes the traditional cultural customs different in different places.

In many parts of our country, it is the custom to say longevity at the age of 60, so these places can only be used as coffins at the age of 60.

However, in many areas in the south, not only in rural areas, but also in cities and towns, in the past, as long as people reached the age of 50, they could be called longevity.

In fact, these places pay attention to "men and women", that is, a man of forty-nine can be called longevity, and a woman of fifty can be called longevity.

So in these places, wood for coffins can be prepared a few years before the age of 50. As long as one of the husband and wife is over 50 years old, they can make coffins.
