Why do people in some places need to be dead for seven days after death, and relatives can't wash them?
As early as more than 2,000 years ago, the imperial doctor Bian Que experienced a magical seven-day resurrection. Bian Que was a famous doctor during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He wrote many books in his life, but many of them have been lost. Bian Que actually became a monk halfway. He used to run a small restaurant, but he was naturally interested in medicine. Later, I visited a famous teacher and finally improved my medical skills. Later, his reputation became more and more famous, and monarchs in many countries sought him for medical treatment.
So it also left many allusions for future generations. Once, I passed Guo and found that the whole country was mourning. Everyone's face is sad. Bian Que was very surprised and asked who had died. People told him that the prince had passed away. As a doctor, Bian Que was very curious about the prince's death, because he thought an old man died, but he didn't expect a young man to die.
So Bian Que inquired carefully about the symptoms of the prince before he died. Knowing the cause and effect, Bian Que concluded that the Prince was not dead, and Bian Que told the truth: If the Prince is really dead, don't say that I am mortal, even the gods can't save him. I can save the prince because he is not dead, just pretending to be dead! At this time, although the human body has no vital features, it can be brought back to life with proper treatment and a little stimulation. In fact, this coincides with our folk saying that people mourn for seven days. Stopping for seven days is mainly to prevent people from faking their deaths. Once suspended animation happens, there is room for manoeuvre, but in some places, the funeral is completed within one day. Once the symptoms of suspended animation appear, people may really die forever.
