"Low-carbon" Sacrifice Sweeping Qingming is more civilized

Recently, in the Old Temple Kindergarten in Liuhe Street, Hekou District, the teacher is showing the Tomb-Sweeping Day Daily painted by children. Reporter Hu Zhiying reports.

Another year of spring grass green, another year of Qingming. Tomb-Sweeping Day is not only a season of green grass and warm spring in bloom, but also a traditional festival for people to remember the martyrs and pay homage to their ancestors. In recent years, with the improvement of civilization in our city, the way of burial and sweeping in our city is also slowly changing. In addition to traditional cremation, more and more people are choosing new burial methods such as sea burial and tree burial. The traditional way of offering sacrifices to sweep is gradually replaced by new ways, and flowers offering sacrifices to sweep and online memorial services are gradually accepted by people.

On March 28th, huanghe road Street Middle School in Dongying District organized students to carry out the activity of "Online Sacrifice to Sweep Heroes and Heroes". Primary and middle school students in the neighborhood organization area log on to websites such as China Civilization Network and Dongying Civilization Network, and sign messages online to pay homage to the heroes and heroes. Correspondent Kang Ruixiang reports from Zhao Xiaotao.

On March 3 1 day, Chenyang School launched the theme activity of "Heroes and Heroes in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Building the Chinese Dream Together" throughout the school, and actively guided students to aspire to serve the country and celebrate the holidays in a civilized way through activities such as "online sacrifice to heroes and heroes" and speeches under the national flag. The children presented a bunch of flowers, a pair of elegies and a sad song on the Internet to express their true feelings. At present, more and more Dongying citizens have joined the ranks of civilized and green memorial services, planting trees, sending flowers and paying online memorial services in Tomb-Sweeping Day to express their grief. During the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, some schools and communities in our city will also organize students and residents to carry out online activities, such as offering sacrifices to heroes and heroines, chanting poems, bowing to sages and martyrs, sending flowers, expressing feelings and sending messages.

"Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival, expressing the traditional customs and good wishes of ancestor worship through offering flowers. I especially support this idea. " A citizen who lives in Antai South District said that Tomb-Sweeping Day intends to express her grief in the form of flowers and worship, and support the civilized memorial service with practical actions. Nowadays, among the grave-sweepers in Tomb-Sweeping Day every year, many people choose flowers instead of burning paper and incense, and it has become the common sense of more and more citizens in our city to choose a low-carbon and civilized way of sweeping.

On the eve of ecological burial in Tomb-Sweeping Day, a collective sea burial was held.

On March 28th, 20 17 collective sea burial was held in our city. The sea breeze was accompanied by light rain, and 29 families scattered the ashes of their deceased relatives into the sea. This is the third time since 20 15 that a collective sea burial has been held in our city.

"The old man knows the sea, trusts the sea and is willing to go to the sea together after death." Yu Xiufeng, a citizen, believes that sea burial is a kind of public welfare behavior worth promoting, which not only saves land and protects the environment, but also is a more meaningful farewell way. I hope our ancestors can rest in peace in the embrace of the sea.

According to the staff of the Social Affairs Section of the Civil Affairs Bureau of our city, in recent years, more and more citizens in our city have signed up for ecological burials such as sea burials. "Since the sea burial was first introduced on 20 15, 77 people in our city have chosen sea burial. This shows that the public's memorial service and environmental awareness are gradually changing, and they are slowly accepting this ecological burial method. " It is understood that in order to further advocate the new fashion of civilization and frugality, deepen the funeral reform, save land resources, and implement the ecological burial law, the city has implemented free sea burial service for Dongying residents since 20 15, and the Civil Affairs Bureau organizes ashes scattering activities once or twice a year according to the number of applicants for sea burial.

Change customs and promote "green" sacrifices.

"At present, all the 796 villages (residences) in the city/KLOC-0 have established red and white councils, achieving full coverage; All villages (residences) have established rules and regulations and written them into village rules and regulations. " The staff of the Social Affairs Section of the Civil Affairs Bureau said: "The Red and White Council is playing an increasingly important role in promoting the change of customs and traditions. More and more urban and rural residents choose flowers to pay homage, plant trees to pay homage, and make sacrifices online in a scientific, civilized and healthy modern way. "

On March 3rd1,the Municipal Civilization Office, the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Municipal Urban Management Bureau jointly issued a proposal on civilized sacrifice, advocating law-abiding, civilized, thrifty and safe sacrifice, and living a law-abiding, green, orderly and civilized Tomb-Sweeping Day. During the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, our city actively advocated green funeral, and actively guided and encouraged the masses to choose tree burial, flower burial, sea burial and other ecological funeral methods to create an ecological funeral fashion. At the same time, guide residents to abide by the law, be civilized and frugal, and offer sacrifices safely. Do not burn paper in public places such as roads, squares, parks, green spaces, residential quarters, etc., and do not bring kindling and inflammable and explosive materials into forest areas to prevent fire accidents. We advocate "flowers for paper money" and "ribbons for mourning", and pay homage through flowers, tree planting, online sacrifices, outings and family memories, so as to gain a deeper understanding of Qingming culture. Establish the new concepts of "helping the poor and helping the needy" and "low-carbon sacrifice", and pin their grief in an ecological and frugal way. In order to enhance the safety of the sacrificial ceremony, the relevant departments of our city reminded the general public to enhance their safety awareness and strictly abide by the relevant fire prevention regulations to prevent fires and casualties.

Memories and ideas

Qing Yi Ming mu

"Later, homesickness became a temporary grave. I am outside and my mother is inside. " It was not until my mother died that I deeply realized Yu Guangzhong's homesickness. I want to have a long talk with my mother, only once a year.

In 20 13, my mother died in the county hospital, and I didn't know it was farewell until I watched her swallow her last breath. It's just that I was immersed in grief at that time, and I couldn't really understand what it meant to lose my loved ones.

Now, my mother has been gone for almost four years. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, no matter whether the work is busy or not, I have to go to my mother's grave and cry from a distance. My mother who taught me to read by candlelight left, my mother who taught me because I was naughty left, and my mother who comforted me when I was lost left ... In short, the taste of home was gone. (Muyang)

Missing is still endless

On May 22 last year, grandpa got rid of his illness and became a part of his hometown land, and his roots have been deeply rooted in his hometown land.

The situation that day was as clear as yesterday. Looking at the photos taken for him during his illness, I can't help thinking, "I know the world is as short as dew." However, however! "

My uncle is blind and lives alone all his life. He loves me very much. I also regard him as my closest relative. Grandpa left, raised his head and dried his tears. There will be a star looking at me in the night sky! I want to be a big tree and give warmth and strength to the people I love.

Qingming is coming, and the spring breeze is green. I am still laughing and laughing as before, and my thoughts are still endless! (Xiaojie)

Grandpa, I want to eat wild strawberries.

It has been nearly ten years since my grandfather died. In the past ten years, I often dreamed that I was happy to receive a bunch of red and sweet wild strawberries from my grandfather.

Grandpa has always loved me. He often secretly stuffed snacks into my schoolbag, told me about his experience as a soldier, and saved money to buy me a walkman to satisfy my little vanity. These scenes are vivid in my mind. What I remember most is the wild strawberries he picked for me from the wild. Wild strawberries are covered with jagged thorns and often prick their hands, but whenever grandpa works in the fields, he will pick them for me one by one. From long summer to the end of summer, from the ridge to the hillside, the last wild strawberry in the field must be the one that Grandpa worked so hard to find and put in my hand.

Now, I haven't eaten wild strawberries for nearly ten years. Ten years of life and death are two boundless. Grandpa, I really want to eat wild strawberries now. When can you choose them for me again? (good)

Tomb-Sweeping Day custom

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the most important sacrificial festivals. Tomb-Sweeping Day's customs are rich and interesting. In addition to prohibiting fire from sweeping graves, there are a series of customs such as climbing, cuju and inserting willows. According to legend, this is because Tomb-Sweeping Day wants to ban cold food and fire. In order to prevent the harm of cold food and cold meal to people, we all take part in some sports activities to exercise.

Worship of tomb ancestors

In the history of China, it has long been a custom to eat cold food, forbid fire and pay homage to ancestors. After the Tang Dynasty, the Cold Food Festival gradually declined, and Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping and ancestor worship became a continuous festival tradition.

spring outing

Tomb-Sweeping Day was a good time to go for an outing, which later became an important part of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is the time when willows sprout and turn green. There are folk customs of folding willow, piercing willow and inserting willow. When people go out for an outing, they break off some wicker branches, which can be played with in their hands, woven into hats and worn on their heads, or taken home and inserted on the lintels and eaves.

towing hook

"Hook" is an ancient name, but it is actually a modern tug of war. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to attack the State of Wu, the State of Chu used the hook movement to enhance people's physique. It is mainly based on a hemp rope, and its two ends are divided into many small ropes. During the competition, a big flag was taken as the boundary. At the command, both sides pulled the rope hard, and drums and music were loud and lively.

fly a kite

Jia Qinglu said: "The wind of spring is from bottom to top, and kites rise because of it, so there is a proverb" Clear and clear ". "In ancient times, flying kites was an entertainment activity, and they also thought that flying kites could release their bad breath. Therefore, when flying kites in Tomb-Sweeping Day, many people will write all the disasters they know on paper kites. When the kite flies high, they cut the kite string and let the kite float away with the wind, symbolizing that their illness and dirty air have been taken away by the kite.
