My view on funeral reform is about 500 words.

China people always respect the dead, and burying the dead is the first custom. All virtues are filial piety first, and loyalty and filial piety are great virtues. It is the foundation for China people to do things. If the emperor has no filial piety, the country will be unstable or insecure. If princes and princes have no filial piety, they will be regarded as traitors and thieves by the people. Since filial piety is the foundation of the country (with Confucius and Mencius as the core cornerstone), the ancients naturally tried their best. Often choose the best cemetery first, and try to choose a good landscape that conforms to Feng Shui to bury ancestors. Dai Xiao will also be buried for three years, and a monument will be erected to remember the virtues of our ancestors. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, a grand ceremony is held to pay homage to the martyrs. This excellent traditional culture has continued to this day. But there are also a series of behaviors that are incompatible or even contrary to excellent traditional culture. What is more serious is the current situation of wanton speculation or manipulation of cemetery prices in various places. These people try to speculate the price as high as possible in order to reap huge profits, resulting in some people living in the sandwich class (people whose living standard is lower than that of China capital but slightly better than that of low-income households are called sandwich class people) who can't afford to die, or are poor and sleepy because of funeral. It has seriously damaged the traditional virtue of filial piety of the Chinese nation and caused great bad influence, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the rich and the low-income households (thin at both ends and thick in the middle) are only a few, and most of them are sandwiched between people. With the acceleration of urbanization, the rapid increase of urban population and the rapid arrival of an aging society, the demand for cemeteries is naturally increasing, so these people took the opportunity to take advantage of the irregular funeral system. Relevant laws and regulations have not yet been promulgated and perfected. Like the real estate industry, cemetery prices have been hyped up to make a fortune for the deceased, without considering the fundamental interests of the people living in the middle class. I don't know how their own old people will feel if they encounter such difficulties in a hundred years. Therefore, these people should not sacrifice the wealth of the deceased in exchange for people's livelihood, but should consider making a fortune in other ways (they should not make a fortune in the cemetery because it is wet and has no future), for the following reasons: First, most ordinary people will hate you and curse you for being immoral. Second, it is not a cause, not an economic industrial chain (it is not a long-term solution, because it is not good for the country and the people, so it cannot last long). Third, it has seriously damaged the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and its behavior is no different from Sabah and Heba, which is even more harmful, seriously infringing on people's livelihood and civil rights and the basic burial right of the deceased. Fourth, from the point of view of government administration, if we let ourselves drift for a long time, the benevolence and morality will be unstable and the people will lose their base, which will lead to the loss of cultural foundation. How about improving people's livelihood? How to create a harmonious society? Who is qualified to talk about people's livelihood? Who is qualified to talk about building a harmonious society? Who is qualified to talk about people's livelihood in a society that can't afford to die? Who is qualified to talk about building a harmonious society? ), so the government will strictly prohibit and strictly guard against the long-term development of this unhealthy situation. Therefore, in the long run, if the cemetery is regarded as an industry to develop the economy, it is a manifestation of ignorance (making money from ignorance) and an act without conscience (most people will think so).

On the other hand, from an economic point of view, the money spent by cemetery buyers is meaningless, because cemeteries are not practical materials such as food, houses, chariots and horses, nor are they harvestable knowledge such as culture, science and technology and education. The first two can be used for a harvestable knowledge, but what can the cemetery bring to the buyer? (No matter how much money you spend on it, it's only for the urn), which makes the already tight sandwich class worse and poorer, so it's harmful to them. From the above analysis, it can be perceived that there are indeed many ordinary people who are worried that they can't afford to die, and their hearts are dull. The general cremation fee here is about 7000 yuan, and the cemetery is at least 13000 yuan, and it can only be used for 20 years. I'm afraid the more expensive cemetery will cost tens of thousands. In this way, a person living in the sandwich floor will have to spend at least 30,000 yuan to bury a person, which is a big expense for them and they have to bear it. So many people often worry that they can't afford to die, and their hearts ache faintly! At the same time, the economic development of urbanization has brought about a sharp increase in population, and a large number of cemeteries will also become the bottleneck of urbanization economic development and population explosion. In the past, people have always used coffin burial as the main funeral custom. The rapid increase of population has caused excessive damage to nature, and the ecological imbalance is unbearable for nature. Therefore, after the reform and opening up, the cremation system was implemented, which greatly reduced the occupation of land and forest resources, but it was followed by the increasing cost of cremation. The cemetery occupied a large amount of land resources around the city, and the population growth and economic development of the city also needed to occupy a large amount of land resources around the city (the land was becoming increasingly tight and the price soared), so the status quo of land competition between the dead and the living gradually appeared. At the same time, it is difficult to change people's traditional sacrificial habits at once. Environmental-friendly and clean ways of offering sacrifices to ancestors, such as online sacrifices, flowers sacrifices, tree sacrifices, river and sea sacrifices, are rarely really willing to be adopted by people, so the status quo that the dead and the living compete for land and the price of cemeteries is rising again and again is inevitably staged everywhere.
