— Preface —
Our family members were our closest people before they died, close enough to sleep in a bed with them.
Why can't they sleep in the bed they slept in when a loved one dies?
— Traditional Interpretation —
Unlike Confucianism, which focuses more on the living than after death, Taoism believes that people are equally worthy of respect after death.
After the death of our loved onesTheir souls and bodies have been separatedBut it will be a while for their souls to reach the other world.
Once a living person sleeps in the bed that a deceased loved one has slept in, it will have a certain impact on their life after death.
Their yin energy is heavy on our yang energy, and after the two meet, it is not only not good for them, but also not conducive to us ordinary people to maintain good health.
Even the funeral rites handed down by our ancestors, while respecting the deceasedIt is also a kind of protection for the living.
After the death of a loved one, their body has stopped functioning, but the bacteria in the body have not stopped moving.
When these bacteria react with body organs, it is normal for some gas to be produced in areas such as the abdomen, and after a certain amount is generated, it comes out of the mouth and other parts, and the taste is not good.
After the death of our loved ones, we plug their mouths and holes to prevent the deceased from emitting a bad smell.
Even we used to be particular about the time we used to park the body of the deceased, if it was winter, we would park the body for five or six days, and if it was summer, it would be fineJust park the body for two or three days.
At that time, the medical conditions were not well developed, and the practice of parking the body of the deceased could prevent the "fake death" of the deceased to a certain extent.
There is no shortage of such examples around usThe old man felt hungry when he "died" a few days latercame out of the coffin to cook for himself, only to find that everything in the house had been emptied.
But nowadays, our medical conditions are relatively developed, and brain death is mainly used to determine whether the deceased is really dead or fake, so as to avoid unnecessary harm to them.
Once a loved one actually passes away, it will undoubtedly bring emotional turmoil to the surviving relatives and affect their judgment of handling the aftermath of the deceased.
In the past, wealthy families slept on carved wooden beds, which are now handicrafts, and living people usually keep the beds.
In areas that we rarely visit, there are also claims that sleeping in the bed that the deceased slept in would add to the family, but this is relatively rare.
Most of us are ordinary people, and in the process of disposing of the relics of the deceased, we try to burn as much as possible for the deceased, so as to avoid the deceased from having too much concern for this world.
The cash, favorite cultural toys, gold and silver jewelry and other items carried by the deceased before his death should theoretically be given less to the deceased, but in practice, they are limited by conditionsThese relics were then kept by the living relatives.
And the house where the deceased lived before his death, they are also part of the relics of the deceased, and when we living people enter the house where they lived before their death, we always unconsciously appear in our minds what they looked like when they were alive.
The moment we see the relics of the deceased, it is difficult not to have emotional waves, but because of the limited conditions, we have to take good care of these relics.
In particular, most of us now live in buildings, and it is obviously not appropriate to burn down the houses where the deceased lived.
At this time, we followed the Xi of burning paper houses for the deceased, and also burned some paper cars, clothes, paper money and other items for the deceased.
Reason tells us that this is a feudal superstition, but deep down we do not want to accept the fact that the deceased have left, preferring to believe that they are living well in another world.
When our relatives were born, we all dreamed of meeting them, and after they died, we couldn't even sleep in the bed they slept in?
— Scientific explanations —
As early as the time of their death, our loved ones have already undergone some changes in their body functions, and we can even clearly see that their faces are not very good.
After a loved one actually dies, their blood has stopped flowing, and this blood presses on one part of the blood vessel for a long time, causing small spots on their body.
At this time, they may still have stool in their body that has not been passedSubstances that stay in their bodies and react with other substances in the bodyFormation of substances that are harmful to living people.
And when we deal with the deceased, we also have special ways to prevent the body from emitting an unpleasant smell.
Especially in places where there is a Xi of standing a corpse, before parking the body, changing the clothes of the deceased is only the most basic operation, and there are also operations such as wiping the body of the deceased.
These maneuvers must be as short as 30 minutes or as long as 4 hours before the rigor is mortisedAvoid damage to the body when we dispose of the deceased's remains.
After the internal cells of the deceased react with the germs, the substances produced remain in the places where they slept before their deaths, and these substances are invisible to our naked eyes.
People with poor immunity sleep in these placesIt is easy to get infected with the remaining germs of the deceased and accidentally get sick.
Even people who died not because of illness gave off the smell and substance of putrefaction from their bodies, which remained on the sheets they slept on.
Before we sleep in the place where the deceased has slept, we should at least change the bed linen and disinfect it to avoid contracting our body with diseases.
Attentive people should be able to find outWhen the hospital handles the bed where the deceased has slept in, it has to change the bed sheets and sterilizeBehind these seemingly routine operations, there is a kind of protection for others.
But when we lose our loved ones, we may not be able to accept this fact for a while, and we may not be willing to deal with the place where they slept immediately, as if our loved ones never left.
But we still have to take care of the funeral affairs for our deceased relatives, and when we go to visit the cemetery of the deceased after doing these things, we still have to pay attention to some issues.
It is best not to have trees that grow too fast next to the cemetery of the deceased, as such trees can easily block the sunlight and create shade for the surroundings after growing branches, which is preferred by snakes, scorpions and other animals.
They survive around the graveyards of the deceasedIt will bring safety risks to our loved ones.
It is best not to have dead trees next to the graves of our loved ones, which creates a sense of decay in the cemetery, as if no one has taken care of them all year round and does not have enough respect for the deceased.
There is also a tree that seems to be fine on the surface, but its roots are rooted deeper, and their roots continue to extend and may enter the depths of the cemetery, causing damage to the cemetery of our loved ones.
But nowadays we have cremation, and the ashes of our loved ones are placed in the cemetery and have special staff to take care of them, so we don't need to pay attention to these problems.
— Epilogue —
For a person, life is the most important thing, we might as well go home often when our relatives are alive, treat them kindly, and let them feel the warmth of the family.
