Why put a cloth on the face of the deceased, not let the black cat jump over?

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable in the world. A person's life from birth to "closing his eyes" is the fulfillment of a person's life, whether short or long.

Funeral customs in each region are different, but there is one thing that is consistent, that is, before entering the earth, a white cloth is covered with the person's face. The cloth will not be removed until burial.

Why do people have to do this? Is it superstitious or scientifically based?

Regarding the origin of this custom, the earliest record is in the Zhou Dynasty. The ancestors of the Zhou people had detailed and strict regulations in all aspects, and at the same time they also had a very complete set of funeral rituals, known as "hung rituals".

Reason 1: Check if the person is alive

The first purpose is to cover the face with a cloth to confirm whether the person is really lost or not. In many places, the funeral method is mainly buried in the ground. Some people in the process of taking the coffin to burial found a call, when opening the coffin, they knew that the person was not dead.

After such events have happened, the ancients often left the deceased at home for a few days before burial. Putting a cloth on the face can check if the person is still breathing.

Second reason: Avoid letting visitors panic

This custom is not entirely superstitious because it has some scientific basis. Human muscles contract, especially after sudden death, some muscles can still contract. This leads to some changes in the body of the deceased.

The most basic change is that the face is deformed, becoming more abnormal when alive. In order for the visitors not to be afraid, family members must cover the deceased with white towels.

Third reason: Prevent the spread of bacteria

The human body is prone to producing bacteria after death, especially in the summer. In the morgue, germs are easily spread from the mouth and nose of the deceased, so a white cloth can prevent the spread of "toxic gases", maintaining a hygienic and clean environment.

According to the elderly people in the countryside, the last breath of a person before death is full of poison, if the living are unfortunately infected with their face, they will quickly become swollen, in fact, this is also due to bacterial infection.

It can be said that covering the face of the deceased with a cloth shows the wisdom of the ancients. Many of the behaviors that we consider superstitious actually have a scientific basis behind them. It's just that in the past, there was no scientific development, so we just practiced step by step and then summed up the experience and passed it on to the next generation.

In addition to having to cover the face with a cloth, the world also told each other not to let the black cat jump over the coffin or the deceased would get up. However, does this really happen?

Mr. Vu Quoc Trung, director of Son Ha Medical Center, said that there is no scientific document to record or recognize the story of lynx resurrecting the dead, or "demons entering the intestines". It is just word of mouth, a story that is fabricated and then embroidered to add thrills.

No one knows exactly where these incidents happened, what name the person lost his name. But in fact, there are many clinically deprived people who have come back to life, for a few more days or decades. It is Mr. Trung's family members who have lost people and come back to life 5 times.

The reason for this problem is that the person has not passed away completely, only in the clinical form.

Currently, many people die due to sudden accidents, due to cardiovascular, which is actually in the clinical stage, after being injected with Adrian blood, blood is supplied and revived.

When there is a certain cause such as an increase in the temperature in the room, due to a strong noise (it can be the sound of a cat meowing or jumping over), due to strong shaking of the offspring stimulates the brain to work again, causing the vegetative nervous system to reactivate, at that time, the brain stimulates the adrenal glands, Releasing Adrian puts blood into the heart and helps the organs work again.

Impact of the biofield

According to folk belief: This animal contains strong yang qi, lacking yin qi. When people die, their yang qi will disappear, so when they see the yin qi, the cat will come to them.

GS. Dr. Doan Xuan Muu, former director of the Vaccine Institute, author of the book "Science and spiritual issues", said that each person's body is activated, warmed up, and nourished with energy. In addition to this energy source, delicate bodies need another energy source, that is, the cosmic energy source that enters the body through chakras, natural holes... then turn into bioenergy (bio-school).

The biological field is a secondary energy, following the channel leading to the nervous system, endocrine system, blood, blood vessels and other organs for the body... Therefore, if one learns how to control the bioenergy in one's body, healing becomes easy.

In the case of "the lynx resurrecting the lost", it can be explained by the interaction between the biological field of humans and animals. Tigers have great mental energy, but not all cats are the same, cats carry a positive charge ( ) (anode). When a person dies, it carries a negative charge (-) (cathode). Therefore, when a cat jumps over a lost person, it will generate a very strong electric current, knock the lost person up and can make the lost person live for a while from a few minutes and possibly up to 1 day.

However, this problem has not been scientifically proven, the explanation is still arbitrary, but the fact that the "lost" person comes back to life and lives for a long time has been proven by reality.

Along with this view, MSc Vu Duc Huynh, author of more than a dozen books on oriental spirituality and archaeology, affirmed that this is just a rumor. However, when a person has just died, there is still an electric field (negative), so if there is a strong positive electric field (possibly a cat), it will suck and bounce back - similar to the case of electric shock in a hospital - a little, but not revived.

Người xưa không cho ngủ quay đầu ra cửa, nghe tiếng gọi không được thưa, vì sao? Hoàng Phúc16:54:37 29/02/2024Theo quan niệm xưa khi giường kê quay đầu ra thẳng cửa là không tốt, đó là hướng quay để làm lễ người đã khuất. Bởi vậy tuyệt đối không nằm hướng thẳng ra cửa. Tương tự thì cũng không quay đầu hoặc chân ra phía cửa sổ.
