Qingming abandons bad habits, and civilization sacrifices feelings.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, is coming soon. As a traditional festival in China, Tomb-Sweeping Day is an important day to pay homage to the dead, mourn the ancestors, cherish the memory of heroes and heroes, and place their grief. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people burn paper, ghosts and firecrackers on graves to pay homage to their deceased relatives and express their thoughts. This kind of sacrificial sweeping not only pollutes the environment, but also easily causes fires and brings hidden dangers to social security.

The traditional way of offering sacrifices to sweep Tomb-Sweeping Day has impacted the normal social order. In fact, every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, it will lead to a discussion on the way of paying homage. Some people advocate abandoning the tradition of burning paper on the grave. Some people say that flowers and online memorials can't express their feelings.

These discussions boil down to one point, that is, how to integrate traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day with modern life. Like other festivals in China, Tomb-Sweeping Day has also encountered the problem of how to "transform". Undoubtedly, Tomb-Sweeping Day should also keep pace with the times.

The traditional way of sweeping graves and burning paper is combined with burial. Now the price of urban cemetery has exceeded the house price. How many people can afford it? What's more, the environment of modern cemetery is out of place with burning paper and kowtowing, and it is more civilized and decent to bow and pay homage to a bunch of flowers. Even in the suburbs, we don't advocate burning paper on graves. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, there are always news reports that someone goes up the mountain to sweep the grave and causes a mountain fire. Originally, the sacrifice was to remember the ancestors and express condolences. If something happened because of burning paper, wouldn't it be asking for trouble? Therefore, whether in the city or in the suburbs, the way of burning paper to pay homage seems really out of date. If it is difficult for you to give up this complex, it is still recommended to ensure safety and avoid "fire."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, sweeping graves and sweeping graves is just a form after all. As for the eternal theme of Tomb-Sweeping Day, I'm afraid the most important and crucial thing is gratitude. Isn't it the most appropriate and decent memorial service for their loved ones as long as they have concerns and thoughts in their hearts? It really doesn't matter where you are, or even whether you visit the cemetery. Nowadays, new ways such as online sacrifice sweeping have become a common practice. Although it is a change in the traditional ritual of offering sacrifices to sweep graves, the connotation of remembering ancestors has not changed.

From this perspective, the diversity of Tomb-Sweeping Day should be the embodiment of social progress. As long as it is civilized and can express our inner gratitude, we should advocate it. We might as well keep pace with the times in the concept and consciousness of sacrificial sweeping. As long as we adhere to the clear connotation, the surface is not important. As long as we often mourn in our hearts, we may not be limited to form.
