Our traditional culture is reborn and despises death, and has been avoiding death.

Our traditional culture is reborn and despises death, and has always held an evasive and taboo attitude towards death. Influenced by this cultural tradition, people are secretive about death, whether in family life or in the school system. This has led to many minors' lack of knowledge and understanding of death, and they rarely face death directly. What's more, because of ignorance of death, we treat setbacks in a suicidal way and make hasty choices, which leads to tragedy.

In this regard, it is a good thing that more and more colleges and universities offer courses related to death education for students. By discussing death in class, simulating dying farewell and visiting the whole funeral process in the funeral home, it is of great significance to let college students get close contact with death and know it, and guide them to face death squarely and fear life, which is helpful to help students understand the value of life and guide them to take care of their bodies and lives. However, it is undeniable that the popularization rate of death education in China is still low, and it is still blank in many schools, and the curriculum and education model need to be further improved. Therefore, it is necessary to further popularize death education, further help students and the public to treat death rationally, and cultivate and enhance their ability to cope with and handle death events. Not only in colleges and universities, but also in primary and secondary schools should be carried out in a way suitable for the age and understanding level of primary and secondary school students.

To further popularize death education, it is necessary to desensitize to death in order to break the shackles of traditional ideas. Last year, a kindergarten in Jiangsu organized a special funeral for rubber coccidia, and gave life education to children, which was questioned by some parents. Although many parents spontaneously take photos in the circle of friends and feel that it is very important for kindergartens to carry out life education as early as possible, some parents feel unlucky. The attitude of the public, including parents, is also a problem that schools must consider and take into account when carrying out death education. Therefore, schools must win the recognition and support of parents and even cooperate with parents to carry out death education. Treating death correctly is not only a compulsory course for children, but also for many parents.

To further popularize death education, it is necessary to integrate the forces of the government, schools and society, build a death education system, strengthen the research on death education, strengthen the construction of courses and textbooks, and further improve the scientific nature of education content, teaching methods and models. We should make full use of social resources, use hospice wards and intensive care units, touch the dying scene, feel the universality and particularity of life and death, and enhance the practicality of death education by adopting various vivid forms of education.
