或問曰：「死三日而後斂者，何也？」Some one may ask, 'Why does the dressing not commence till three days after death?'
曰：孝子親死，悲哀志懣，故匍匐而哭之，若將復生然，安可得奪而斂之也。故曰三日而後斂者，以俟其生也；三日而不生，亦不生矣。孝子之心亦益衰矣；家室之計，衣服之具，亦可以成矣；親戚之遠者，亦可以至矣。是故聖人為之斷決以三日為之禮制也。 and the answer is - When his parent is dead, the filial son is sad and sorrowful, and his mind is full of trouble. He crawls about and bewails his loss, as if the dead might come back to life; how can he hurriedly take (the corpse) and proceed to dress it? Therefore, when it is said that the dressing does not begin till after three days, the meaning is, that (the son) is waiting that time to see if (his father) will come to life. When after three days there is no such return, the father is not alive, and the heart of the filial son is still more downcast. (During this space, moreover), the means of the family can be calculated, and the clothes that are necessary can be provided and made accordingly; the relations and connexions who live at a distance can also arrive. Therefore the sages decided in the case that three days should be allowed, and the rule was made accordingly.
