Discerning Yin & Yang

三魂之色

In ancient times, there were three folk coffins, one red, for those who were more than 80 years old, and one black, for those who died normally, and the other was white. Folk customs are unlucky to be white, so it is necessary to paint more when purchasing, or use white when it is too late to paint after a violent burial. The so-called red, black, and white ones are covered with the color of the human soul. When people have dreams, the dreamer enters the coffin, more than red or black or white, which is actually the look of the three souls.
