What is the writing and format of the soul guide?

The simple way to write a coffin is: the words written on both sides of the coffin: the last word must be "life". For example, the ribbon of the coffin: the golden boy led Lapras to the east, and the jade girl sent Penglai to drive away cranes.

The last couplet, "Golden Boy Leads Lapras East" is nine words. From "Jin" to "Sheng", from "Zi" to "Wang", from "Qian" to "Death", from "Yin" to "Jue", from "Dao" to "Wang" until the last word "Qu" occupied "Sheng".

Specifications of the guide:

In some parts of our country, soul-inducing coffins are cylindrical coffins with a diameter of about one foot and a length of about one meter and a half. The Manchu spirit-guiding flag is a red cloth more than three feet long, with a triangular black cloth flag at the top. The red cloth is torn into three pieces, with a wide middle and a slightly shorter side.

The lower side is inlaid with five-finger black nails, and the lower side of the middle page is inlaid with serrated black nails. This coffin is a symbol of Manchu funeral. During the burial, relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral grabbed cloth. It is said that this kind of cloth can ward off evil spirits and make clothes for children.
