The mourning with jagged edges was made with 3 sheng of hempen threads, each sheng containing 81 threads;
that with even edge, with 4, 5, or 6 sheng;
that for the nine months' mourning with 7, 8, or 9 sheng;
that for the five months, with 10, 11, or 12 sheng;
that for the three months, with 15 sheng less the half.
When the thread was manipulated and boiled, no such operation was performed on the woven cloth, and it was called sze (or the material for the mourning of three months).
These were the manifestations of sorrow shown in the fabrics of the different mournings.
