Transporting n Chinese Coffin.

From Chambers Journal
One of the strangest features in the obsequies
witnessed was the erection of structure in
'front.' OF the house. in which the death occurred,
to enable the coffined body to be brought down
to the roadway from the room in which it
was lying. The house being a three-storied one
and the body lyingin one ofthe top-nost rooms.
the erection. which furnished sloping footway
of planks from the room to the road and land
ing at the top. had necessarily not only to be
lofty but substantial. Communication was. of
course. had with the room through the window.
The structures are. 1 believe, erected tor two
reasons-first. because strange families in
house object. on superstitious grounds, to
corpse being taken through their rooms; and
secondly. because it is almost impractcable to
get a heavy Chinese coffin down the narrow tor
tuous stairs OF many OF the native houses For
similar reason, no body. in course of transporta-
tion from one part of China to another for the
purpose OF interment, is allowed to pass through
any walled town. No corpse. either is ever al
lowed to be carried across a landing place or to
pass through gateway which can in any way
be construed as pertaining TO the Emperor The

death as seldom to mention that word itself pre-
