funeral is a Chinese idiom, with the pinyin sāng shì, which refers to burial and mourning after death. Before the founding of New China, funerals were complicated and feudal etiquette was emphasized.

More-when the deceased was dying, he took off his old clothes, changed his shroud, and tied his legs with white lines, the number of which was equal to the age of the pawn.
