Burning paper habit
The first day of October every year, that is, the first day of October in the old yellow calendar. On this day every year, Hexi Corridor has the custom of burning paper and incense to worship ancestors, killing chickens and sheep, and offering fruits. We also need to burn some paper TVs, cars, buildings, cotton-padded clothes and so on, and some people also need to burn some paper gold couples. Of course, burn some money, and use it at the bank of hades. I hope our ancestors will have enough food and clothing in the underworld, and they will not be hungry and cold. And I also hope that my ancestors will bless myself and future generations with peace and happiness.
In recent years, people's lives are getting better and better, more and more Mingbi are burned, and the denomination is getting bigger and bigger, and even American dollars (Mingbi) have appeared, forming an industrial chain. On October 1, the countryside burned paper in front of its own house. When night falls in cities, people burn paper everywhere. Some held offerings, jiaozi, three jiaozi, and half a bowl of soup. After burning the paper, throw this bowl of glutinous rice balls on the road to pay homage. The next morning, the streets were covered with dead leaves, glutinous rice balls and other sacrifices frozen with soup, making it extremely difficult for sanitation workers to clean them.
The weather in the north has reached several degrees below zero and the temperature is even lower at night. 1 October1October, paper was burned at night, and the next day, paper was flying all over the sky. It is difficult to clean up the frozen things on the road, so you need a shovel.
Initiative:
If you are a family member of a sanitation worker, please take the lead not to burn paper in the street;
If you are a national cadre, don't burn paper in the street;
If you are an ordinary person, don't burn paper in the street;
For the sake of urban environmental sanitation, everyone should not burn paper;
Don't burn paper to reduce air pollution!
Please express your memory of your ancestors in an environmentally friendly and healthy way, and also cherish the work of sanitation workers. You can put all kinds of offerings at home, put wicks on them, and offer a bowl of rice in front of photos of your loved ones when you eat!
Everyone is very filial, of course, no one wants to be called unfilial. Be filial when you are alive and remember when you are dead. Burning paper for hundreds of years is understandable. You shouldn't rap here. But from the perspective of environmental protection, there is no need to talk about it.
My own point of view is "I would rather give a bite alive than give it to a cow dead". It is the responsibility of every child to support the elderly. It is enough to have food and clothing, filial children, medical care and a happy life when you are alive. It's better than killing chickens and sheep after death and burning paper money to feed the world. Integrate filial piety into the daily life of the elderly, not in the form of death.
There is an old saying: an old man can raise ten sons, but ten sons may not be able to raise one old man. I've seen four sons who don't give their old mother 2000 yuan for surgery. There are also elderly people who starve to death after getting sick; There are also parents who take turns eating at their brothers and sisters' homes when they are alive. Often, in order to show their filial piety, these people burn paper for sacrifice after the death of their loved ones, and they are particularly active. In fact, what you did to your parents and the elderly at home, God knows, and friends and relatives living nearby will remember it. Filial piety has a public opinion.
Now the state is protecting the ecological environment of Qilian Mountain, and it is not allowed to burn garbage wheat straw. Can we stop burning paper to pollute the urban environment and start from ourselves? According to superstition, there is a kind of karma called the present newspaper. Only when parents are filial can their children and future generations get the blessings of their ancestors, instead of burning more paper.
