Traditional Qindao Cultural Theme

The ancients said: "There are 300 strange trees on the lake, all of which shed tears to celebrate Qingming." . When I think of this poem, I feel as if Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming, and the footsteps of Qingming are not far away, only one step away. Even the small peach trees on the lake are crying for Qingming, let alone for their dead relatives. Metaphoring people with scenery can be described as expressing Tomb-Sweeping Day's sadness to the extreme.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day of gratitude and remembrance. Since ancient times, sweeping graves is not only to pay homage to and cherish the memory of ancestors, but also to admire heroes and heroes, and to recognize the return of ancestors. This stems from the ancestor worship of China's traditional filial piety culture, which has been the pillar of the harmonious and stable development of China society for thousands of years. The cohesion of China society and the inheritance of civilization have played a very important role in respecting the old and filial piety. It is not only an important social cohesion agent, but also a strong vitality and folk foundation of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day's practice of filial piety is helpful to establish a harmonious intergenerational relationship between the ancients and the present, between predecessors and future generations, and to promote a harmonious relationship between people, between people and society, and between people and nature.

Some people say that Tomb-Sweeping Day can be regarded as the "Thanksgiving Day" of China people, and "gratitude for kindness" implies the traditional concept of gratitude; It is also said that Qingming reminds contemporary people to learn to be grateful in the process of remembering, which is exactly what is urgently needed in the construction of moral civilization. Of course, on the moral level, the most basic moral principles that members of society should follow are understanding, caring and helping others. To do this, we must have a "grateful heart". The cultivation of this concept should be based on respect for family, gratitude to ancestors and recognition of blood responsibility. Qingming culture is a dynamic upgrading process, and modern civilization should give Qingming culture new connotation. The mode of gratitude cannot be completely traditional, nor can it be purely present.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, commonly known as "Ghost Festival", has been shrouded in mystery and strong superstition under the mode of gratitude. Tradition has been distorted, some folk sacrifices have been alienated, the streets and alleys are smoky, paper money is scattered all over the place, and "BMW", "villa" and even "burning women" can be seen everywhere in the cemetery, making festivals with cultural connotations shallow and vulgar. As a traditional culture, Qingming culture needs to get rid of its dross, take its essence, inherit civilization and constantly sublimate. It is not anyone's responsibility to respect tradition, keep pace with the times and fully display the significance of Qingming culture, which requires strong social consciousness guidance. This is not only advocating new social fashions such as "online memorial service", "flower memorial service" and "home memorial service", but also exploring the connotation of Qingming Culture Festival. This is precisely an important symbol of a strong cultural country and an eternal theme and an important link in building a socialist core value system.

With the sincere piety of the Chinese nation, Tomb-Sweeping Day still exists through time and space and vicissitudes. Then, what role can the traditional cultural concepts that were once excluded play in the current reality? In today's globalization, the increase of economic exchanges has brought a strong foreign culture. In this context, we cannot avoid "Who am I?" Such a simple proposition. Perhaps the premise of admitting that you are from China is the recognition of the same "human ancestor". As cultural symbols, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival are not only the essence of culture, but also the epitome of civilization. They contain unique national feelings and spiritual core and represent deep-rooted national complex. Tomb-Sweeping Day's becoming a national statutory holiday is definitely not a "simple return" and "salvation" to traditional culture, but a recognition of the roots of culture and national history and a continuation of the past on this basis. Sacrifice is a mode of infiltrating national identity, just like the pursuit of freedom and rights. Pursuing a sense of identity and belonging is also human nature. The traditional values based on "the ancestor of mankind" do not exclude the absorption of the excellent values of modern human beings such as equality, freedom and democracy, and make the sense of national identity and belonging have world significance and future value, which will provide inexhaustible emotional and spiritual resources for 2 1 century.

The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the requirements of carrying forward Chinese traditional culture and building the spiritual homeland of the Chinese nation, making better use of traditional festivals to carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the nation and promoting the construction of the socialist core value system. In the past 30 years, due to the rapid economic development, people's requirements for life began to change from living standards to quality of life. While satisfying the material life, they are more eager to increase the spiritual content in their spiritual life. Tomb-Sweeping Day embodies the national spirit and emotion of the Chinese nation, carries the cultural blood and ideological essence of the Chinese nation, and is an important spiritual link to safeguard national unity, national unity and social harmony, with inestimable historical, cultural and economic value.

It is human nature to make use of Tomb-Sweeping Day, seek the roots and ask for ancestors, and be grateful to relatives, but it is necessary to sweep the graves in a civilized way. Chairman Mao visited Shaoshan and paid homage to his parents' tombs. He said: Teach our party and give birth to our parents! "My gratitude is beyond words, but what he dedicated to his parents was just a bunch of pine branches. As grave-sweepers who pay homage to their deceased relatives in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should get some enlightenment from Chairman Mao's way of paying homage to his parents and try to stay away from those bad habits of paying homage to them.

Plant trees in front of the graves of relatives, send a bunch of flowers to mourn, remember the kindness of relatives to themselves, educate future generations to inherit the fine family style of their ancestors, and let everyone spend a peaceful and civilized Tomb-Sweeping Day.
