Who wears the shroud after the old man dies?

Funeral clothes, commonly known as "old clothes". After a person dies, his or her children will dress him or her in burial clothes. If the deceased is a male, the funeral is usually handled by the sons and daughters; if the deceased is a female, the funeral is usually handled by the daughters and daughters-in-law. Funeral clothes are usually not made of fur or silk for fear of becoming an animal in the next life and having no descendants. Instead, they are mostly made of silk and cotton, to symbolize "attachment" and "remembrance". The number of clothes should be odd rather than even. No matter when the death occurs, cotton clothes should be given priority. After death, many people are not buried directly in the coffin, but are kept at home for a few days first. Some bodies need to be kept at home for a long time because there is no suitable burial place. After a long time, the body of the deceased in the coffin will slowly rot due to the invasion of microorganisms, and some liquid will flow out. At this time, funeral clothes are very useful. Most of the funeral clothes are very thick cotton clothes with strong water absorption, so future generations will try to dress the deceased as thickly as possible. The burial clothes that the deceased usually wear are in odd numbers, with the upper body usually having two pieces compared to the lower body, for example, 5 pieces for the upper body and 3 pieces for the lower body. Generally, the most pieces are 11 pieces for the upper body and 9 pieces for the lower body. If it is a woman, the pants can be replaced by a skirt. Also, if the person died before the age of 50, he or she would generally wear 3 pieces of clothing. The amount of clothing on the deceased sometimes increases with age. The older the person is, the more clothing they have. These traditions that have been preserved are more of a reverence and respect for the deceased.
