In Chinese Traditional Culture, the funeral is called “喜丧” for a person having a very old age when passing away. (maybe more than 80+). You must smile and blessing for living such a long life. Thus, the funeral normally wears red clothing and is like a celebration.

古人認為“福壽雙全”的逝者，才算是喜喪。如果更詳細，去世的老人若滿足了∶“全福、全壽、全終”這三個條件 This is pretty rare in the old days. 全壽 is 90 year or older. 全終 is natural death. 全福 usually mean large happy family.

Thank you for visiting my hometown. It brings back a lot of memories. I left Wenzhou when I was 7. Spent over a decade in Europe, then moved to the USA where I still reside today. As you stated, Wenzhou used to be very polluted. Your bike tour series is a great reminder that things can change when there's a genuine will to do so.

Hi, Katherine! I'm a big fan of your channel. I love seeing the lesser known parts of China that you're showing in your videos. There's plenty of other channels that showcase the big cities and tall skyscrapers (which are cool, too), but only yours show the China off the beaten path. Keep up the great content!

@Iris-zo4re 8 месяцев назад

This is my hometown, and when I attempt to describe it, I find my vocabulary limited. The dominant features include money, labor, noise, and pollution, as I live in an industrial area. However, your video today reminded me that there's more to share. The towns are surrounded by narrow alleys, rivers, and temples. Btw, stone sculptures that look like lions are actually qilin. Thanks for sharing your tour.😊

Seems like a really nice mix of the old and new. Sometimes I feel like the "new" comes to dominate some places in China, but it's great to see so much of the character of Wenzhou is still there. That lion though - that's definitely a "new" one!

关于石狮，这里有个误解。石狮并不是完全按照狮子的造型设计的。东汉时期，有西域王国第一次向中原汉王朝进贡了一头狮子，中原汉族人第一次见到了狮子这种动物。但是后来在设计石狮造型的时候，是融合了想象中的神兽“狻猊”的造型。狻猊是传说中龙的九子之一。

This is another wonderful look at Wenzhou. (10:22) The memory of your friend really adds depth to learning more about this city, and the huge transformation of China in the last 40+ years. Wenzhou is a coastal city facing waves of European colonizers, bringing with them "invasive species" to the local environment. (3:00) See that cross on the dome? ( 3:22) (3:35) The cross came with this lion image. (7:19) more invasive species. Globalization has its pluses and minuses.

Katherine, your trice retraced wenzhou visits makes an impression on you as it conveys the real China vibes; I was fortunate enough to be born and raised in the middle of Yangon Chinatown so I appreciate your colleague enthusiasm and sentiment with temples, markets and narrow alleys though my 17th street was twice as wide. Were you taking pot luck with your baidu maps? Ha ha even in American culture, funeral processions are avoided at all cost, not so different after all. The superstition is after a funeral attendance, you should't visit an expectant mother😅I am also a little perturbed at your pitchblack bike foray. Did you mistime you own curfew?😛

Normal funeral in wenzhou (cremation) starts very early in the morning, like 4 am or so. Where family member will do rituals and prayers (also days before) and sent off the diseased to the creamatorium. Usually whem all the rituals etc are done, they come back with a band of musicians. Id not mistaken.

I'm literately here right now, visiting my birthplace. Left in 1990, almost everything's changed. Only things left unchanged are the Isle with the twin towers, Wuma street district which now seem to be designate historical district and the ancient city gate nearby. A lot of buildings seem to been rebuilt or renovated, they were much more rundown when I left. There's also a recent discovery of an ancient harbor by the Isle with the two towers, which they discovered when they tried to build a new road by the river. No they've stop the construction and planned on preserving the archaeological finding and turn it into a new tourist spot. Also btw, did you know Wenzhou is where they issue the first license of private business?

That is what puzzles me. Red usually meant for good happy things. Chinese funeral is always white. Unless this is what the other post above mentioned as a happy funeral, happy funeral as per someone who had lived a very long life, for those who doesn't know what it is. The other I could think of is a ghost bride funeral. Otherwise this is pretty weird for a normal funeral using red.

In developing countries, China could be one of the safest places for solo backpacking, whether in urban or rural areas. Given the opportunity, I would also be willing to do so in order to gain a better understanding of its rich history and diverse culture, obtaining first hand information. Even I grown up in China, I don't feel that know enough about China except Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is kind of joke that many politicians or new reporters who never get into detail of the life in the country claim them self as expert about China which has big population spreading over big area.
