QUESTION:
What color is usually worn at funerals today in China?
a) White
b) Black
c) Red
d) Purple
e) Doesn't matter

ANSWERS:
a) Correct. The purity of white is still respected in most Asian funeral customs. The grieving masses choose to wear white to respect the culture of their ancients. In times of intense emotion, be it the joy of a wedding or the sadness of a death, most people grip onto their customs to help them along. The primary griever must wear white for 7 days straight to show respect. Even in the Muslim sections of China and Asian people wear white at funerals, for the most part.
b) Ahh, you were fooled by the question being too easy. You knew the answer was white, but you choose black because you thought we were tricking and confusing you like I am confusing you even now with this poorly worded long sentence explanation. Try again.
c) Good try. It would make sense, since red is used to write the names of the dead, people would wear red to a funeral, but no. Red is for the dead, not the friends of the dead.
d) What?
e) You haven't been in China long, have you? Everything matters, no matter how small. Except standing in line, that doesn't seem to matter.
