Is burial or cremation better after death? Do people have souls or not?

This is the simplest question. For thousands of years, our ancestors were buried in the earth, and they came from the world and returned to the world! But nowadays, the experts, in order to collect money from the dead, risk the world! Forcing people to be cremated! There will be a public judgment in the future for this kind of severing of children and grandchildren! Burial not only realizes the wish of a dead person to be buried in the ground, it is also one of the most land-saving methods. Cremation not only costs money, but more importantly, each dead person has to buy a piece of graveyard, and in the long run, all the land in the world will be turned into a graveyard, and people will still have what to eat!

In accordance with traditional Han Chinese customs, that is to think that earth burial is good. The old generation that, into the coffin is the most stable, can keep the whole body and even a hundred years of immortality, in fact, even the coffin with the body buried in the soil, the specific appearance of what I do not know, the family does not know, the descendants do not know, but nowadays the knowledge of the broader, more or less still know buried in the will be what kind of child, swelling, black, rot, the face of the whole, the last two years to be not only left a white bone.

Now older people, there are still particularly afraid of surgery, will think that open the belly in case it can not come down, incomplete. Therefore, most of the elderly do not accept surgery, dead do not accept cremation, will be pulled back to the home, beg a whole body, into the coffin into the ground.

Older people's minds will think that cremation is only a shovelful of ash, a small altar, will think that the fire can not be cast into the fetus, it will affect the future generations to prosper.

In fact, the root cause lies in itself, fear of death. Some older people, when they are young, not afraid of the world, what all dare to do, but the older they are, the more afraid of death, sick, even if it is just a common a bad cold or back pain is not good, as long as the descendants get them into the hospital, will say that the descendants are to send them to the crematorium, afraid of death to what extent? Some elderly people know and do not know will say, absolutely do not die in the hospital, not waiting for the breath will be called ahead of descendants first get back home, said the death of the hospital, to open the knife, afraid of fire, burning up will be painful.

Generally speaking, as long as the remains are not waterproof and moisture-proof antiseptic treatment, no matter how good the coffin plate material, thick, and then airtight, as long as the soil, not two years, the decay of the decay, three long and two short add up to a bag of dregs, any wear gold and silver seven sets of nine layers of, there are only a few bones and a skeleton, muddy water soaking, insects, snakes, rodents and ants bites are not afraid of the strange things.

Times are progressing, and now most people treat the concept of old age, sickness and death is also changing:

First, the old basically believe in the concept of "life does not bring, death does not take away", this concept and the young people's ideas are not much different, are now paying attention to the quality of life or the quality of life, pay attention to the to be Nowadays, we are all concerned about the quality of life or quality of life, and we are talking about the need to have fun in a timely manner. This is a positive concept, which is not wrong. If you can't enjoy it in life, you can't enjoy it even more after death, in layman's terms, if you don't like it as much as you like it in life, after death, that set of scenes are all ghosts, to say that if you want to put your trust in the hereafter, isn't there a Mengbo soup, two drinks in life and then get drunk, is the Mengbo soup 38 or 52, is it a big bowl or a small bowl, I'm afraid that if you pour it down, I'm afraid that you don't even know where you're coming from, if you want to come up with a coordinate offset or random number, you'll have to pounce on a pig. If there is a coordinate shift or a random number, if it is pounced on a pig or poured on a dog, then who can say it clearly.

Second, three days and three nights or seven days and seven nights, tormented by the descendants, are in a fuss to do to the living. That last meal can not do the master himself, the yard of the chickens, ducks and geese should lay eggs as usual, feed not fat as usual New Year's Eve, so the children live to fulfill their filial piety, is the old man's greatest blessing, after death, even if the Yellow River is dry, are of no help. Firecrackers, suona a blow, any of your life three hundred square or five hundred square, the last are only a small box or three long and two short to load, luxury and affordable in essence are the same way, the last are in the mud, three years and five years, weeds than the grave high.

Third, the first three years, the old companion in, three days, two ton ton will not be less, after three years, three columns of incense in front of the house after the haphazardly, and then ten years, the southeast and northwest of a column of incense, the lonely souls and wild ghosts no one asked.

The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

A few days ago, I had a dream that I died.

I was pushed into the cremation furnace, and the 900 high-temperature fire instantly burned my hair, eyebrows, and skin. While this was going on, the staff put an iron hook towards my stomach, and I knew that in order to prevent me from exploding, he was going to cut through my stomach. Being very scared, I suddenly woke up with a start.

After waking up, I realized that there was a hanger on the bed, and I was pressed right on top of it, with the hanger hook facing my stomach.

After the death of a person, is it better to be buried or cremated? Is there a soul?

I'm an old man, and I don't know how long I'll live. I hope that after I die, I can be buried in the ground, so I can be buried under the land, without a tombstone or a grave.

In this way, it will not take up a single millimeter of arable land and will not affect the land use of future generations.

I don't want to be cremated, even if I want to be cremated, at least don't tell me before I'm born, so that I'm still haunted by the fear of cremation in the last journey of my life.

As for how to dispose of my body after death, I have no consciousness anymore, do whatever you want.

Whether there is a soul or not, so far, this question is similar to whether there are aliens or not, neither can prove that there is, nor can completely prove that there is not, we can only wait for further breakthroughs in science and technology.

Personally, I believe in the existence of the soul, just as I believe in the existence of aliens.

How to bury a person after death is good, may be a lot of the living have thought, most people on this issue may be indifferent to the attitude or want to think in vain, and now in addition to cremation, other burial method is only the experimental stage.

Our country's traditional burial of the dead is traditionally based on earth burial, into the ground is the most intimate expression of this burial method. I remember just remember, a group of small friends play in front of the house, where the hillside, hillside, hillock, forest, everywhere distributed with large and small mounds. Bigger children will recognize which grave is his family's ancestors, there are some graves over the years into the unmarked graves, every year Qingming Festival can see most clearly. For graves of long ago, the only thing that can show the identity of the owner is the tombstone in front of the grave. Some graves have not been worshipped for a long time, but the graves are tall and bold, with the monuments standing in front of the graves, plus the trees and flowers around the graves, giving a powerful sense of intimidation! There are also many plain as a pile of earth, or spoiled, or the original heap of soil by the rain and gradually become spread, no monument without masonry, and then for a long time, and the ground is as flat, you can not see traces of the grave. Burials in the countryside are very elaborate, and there are a lot of secrets. As long as there is a slight opportunity to gather, about the location of the grave and the developed relationship between the living to, colorful, quotes, names, so that the listener, such as falling into the fog, superstitious. This ancient funerary culture has a deep impact, not a day of formation was broken.

After decades of post-liberation promotion and reform of cremation, this burial method has been gradually accepted by most people. Especially in the city, in addition to this method no other. The kind of scene seen by the former, outside the city of earth buns grass filling in the city description, only grass filling, outside the city of earth buns by the overall planning of the disappearance of the trace. Accordingly, all the changes came so fast, but the remote countryside, there are inherent traditions, still earth burial, or cremated, ashes still have to be large coffins and buried underground, this practice does not have a substantial abandonment of earth burial. It's just that there's one more program that is far from the original design of cremation.

In today's situation of scarce land resources, it is not impossible to change to other land-saving methods. The death of a person is like the extinction of a lamp, and all practices are a ritual for the living.

Let's not discuss whether burial is good or not, even better, it must be terminated, this is a national policy, but also a land situation is forced.

China's rural high-quality land has been very little, dense wheat seedlings buried under a lot of secretly buried rural people. Their forefathers are buried here, and then leveled off, became high-yield fields and divided into families, some people's responsibility under the field is someone else's mausoleum, the offspring died secretly buried in the wheat field, the surface is leveled wheat seedlings. Because it affects the harvest, the people who steal the burial of the annual "subsidies" to the owner of the field, year after year to increase the size. Every year when the memorial trampling and destruction of seedlings, are directly to the money, year after year underground ancestors more and more, the younger generation to send more and more money, more and more trouble, the township is still checking the ...... such as encountered in the repair of ditches and land planning, these graves are all finished. There are also suburban cemeteries, due to urban expansion issued a paper notice to move graves, in a few days bulldozers shovels intensive construction, tired white bones ......

All those who were present in the lament, the current state of the country, or to retain the ashes more pragmatic. If you live in a place where there is currently a lot of wilderness, you can consider burial, but it is difficult to say how many years later.

It is important to be clear that the end of earth burials is not something that anyone in their right mind came up with, but rather the national land situation has forced them to do so.

Still struggling with this issue? It is clear that cremation only leaves the living a little more consumption, a little more environmental pollution, a little more trouble ...... other, earth burial is similar. You should understand is earth burial good, or cremation good? If it's about trends and regulations, then it's set in stone above, cremation is a must. If you inquire about which burial method is better, first of all, cremation of a dead person has to spend a sum of money, pulling the dead person to the crematorium, using oil, using electricity to burn off the dead body, pulling the body, burning the body, do you want to spend money? Secondly, how much poisonous gas is emitted from the dead body during the nearly fifty minutes of cremation, and how much harm does this do to the living, and how many people are burned in a day across the country, across the globe? How many living lives are threatened? I'm afraid this is something we need to do a survey on, like Chairman Mao did. Again, the original burial as long as the dead carry out buried on everything, now cremation but also more to the county cremation of the fleet, more and more with the dead farewell ceremony, you say that these two I'm afraid to be more than two or three thousand dollars in expenses, you say that this is a common people is a big blow, but also to buy marble coffins, send off flowers, etc., etc., the grave is still the same as before. That is to say, a dead body burial and cremation compared to other harm, not to mention the money on the normal situation, cremation at least more than three thousand yuan. Do you think it is better to be buried or cremated? I want to emphasize one point, cremation and earth burial, people die after the practice, and the size of the grave buried with the original did not have any change. Are you smart enough to tell me which one is better? If you don't believe me, you go to the countryside and walk around, you say which one is better in the end?

The dead have passed away, into the ground. The dead see the earth as if they see gold, the skeleton is blessed by the gas and the children and grandchildren. Earth burial or cremation good? This is to suit the local conditions, a reasonable choice. For large and medium-sized cities with crowded population, it is needless to say that cremation is better, which is also a way out! But for the sparsely populated remote rural areas with a lot of non-cultivated land and abandoned land, of course, earth burial is better! Saves money, no environmental pollution caused by the burning of the body, the bones buried deep will not cause other external effects, why not? In short, the state should be policy to make the right guidance is good. Burial of the dead in rural areas, can not take up land fertile arable land, graves three years later required to push off, can not be built on top of the graves of permanent memorial buildings, you can set up a small monument to worship and so on. Burial is environmentally friendly is the truth.

After the death of Chairman Mao, in the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, every day for tourists to admire.

When Premier Zhou died, his ashes were scattered in rivers, oceans, mountains, and every inch of the motherland.

So which way is better?

There is no standard answer to this.

The only correct answer is that whether it is Chairman Mao or Premier Zhou, they are all in our hearts. They are both heroes of the new China. They have left a strong mark in history.

They will always be alive. Live in people's hearts. As long as people remember them, they are not dead.

Just like Li Bai and Su Shi, they will always live in the hearts of the people.

So in order to think about how to rest in peace after death, it is better to seriously live every day of life now. Because this every day is what we can grasp.

Every day after death, we can no longer control, still alive, is the most meaningful. You say, is that so?

Not yet seriously lived, do not say lightly say die.

Is it better to be buried or cremated after death? I personally believe that should be adapted to the local conditions, there are barren mountains and wild places, does not affect the land available to the living, to take the earth burial, any living creature, including human beings, should come from nature, return from nature, buried in the earth, three generations later, the grave slowly weathering disappeared, the bones into the soil, everything will be reduced to nothing, but also should be the family and the wishes of the deceased. It can be called the law of heaven and earth and human nature.

If there is no land conditions burial place, cremation does not take up land, convenient and fast, but also a modern people a revolutionary funeral method, not a bad option. After three generations, the descendants may not even go to the ashes of no one to ask and no one to see a glance, the last person to know you also died, declared your final death. The ashes are eventually thrown into nature, back to the place where all living things return to nature.

Is there a soul? Can not see the exact conclusion, scientists use the method of weighing, the method of shooting footage, experiments found that after death, the soul from the body like a smoke floated away, where to go? Subsequently can not be observed. Just passed away than the weight of the death of 26 grams of weight loss, that this weight is the weight of the soul.

Of course, there are countless other people who have observed the soul online? All personal experience, let a person listen to some incredible, but there are noses and eyes, some people witnessed, mistaken for ghosts, that is likely to be the soul of the deceased.

Exactly is there a soul after death? I think by now, no matter from any angle can not be explained clearly, there or not? Maybe the believers can see that there is, and the unbelievers have the will to reject this phenomenon, so it is also difficult to find out that there is.

Human research and discovery of natural sciences, explore the unknown world, from a cosmological point of view, human beings today can only be a half-knowledge, what is found can only be the tip of the iceberg, in order to completely clarify the laws of the universe, the mysterious phenomena of nature, human beings still have a long way to go, at present, only the first few steps of the Long March, the research and discovery of the unknown world is the quest of mankind for thousands of years, as the As science continues to develop at a higher level, the discovery and exploration of the unknown and the world is a dream of mankind since ancient times, and the realization of this dream may take thousands of years.

Seeing through the rise and fall of the world, the hard work of a lifetime is empty. I don't want to leave a curse for my children and grandchildren, but I will take a shovelful of dust at the end of the day.

People are always going to die, which is the inevitable result of the ultimate change of people. Some people say that people die is a very unfortunate thing, I do not agree with this point of view, people in the completion of a period of life after the mission of the journey, the natural end of the phenomenon of life is a happy ending, why is it unfortunate? Why is it unfortunate? To say that it is unfortunate is that one does not make an effort, and during one's lifetime, one is capable of doing what one should do but does not do it because of laziness. It is the people who die in the sound of complaints and curses who are unfortunate.

When people die, their breathing stops, their blood is congealed, the brain's thought function ends, and their flesh begins to oxidize. Here is a simple question of the farewell ceremony of the remains and the disposal of the body, then in the end is earth burial good or cremation good? I think earth burial is still good. For one thing, earth burial is environmentally friendly. All you need to do is dig a grave, about two meters deep. After slowly oxidizing underground, it turns into fertile soil and grows lush plants. It will beautify the nature and benefit the human society. Secondly, emotionally, I feel that it is better accepted than cremation. Even though one is already dead, one always feels a bit miserable. That is why I like traditional earth burial. When it comes to cremation, I really do not feel the benefits there, not just the body into a trace of smoke in the sky, ashes returned to the dust. Some people say that earth burial takes up land, I do not think so, the upper side can be planted trees, can also plant crops.

The problem is that now people are too biased after the death of the funeral, do not need more than two inches thick coffin, bulky moving is very laborious, and a long time can not be oxidized. Also do not need any burial goods, know that people die what can not take, but to give to take, and the dead do not help, let the living suffer, this is not to find trouble for themselves? What is the point of playing the suona? I don't feel comfortable wearing that life jacket either, but it's fine to wear a normal belt. I don't get it, and I don't understand it. I always feel that many modern funeral practices, as if it is not filial piety, is a waste of sincere feelings.

People died, everything should be cheap symbolic representation on it, really do not need to make a big deal. Artificially complicated, cumbersome, a waste of living people's labor and time. A big piece of meat on the offering table has nothing to do with the dead. What should be done in life as long as it is done, the conscience is clear, is a great filial son. Don't regret the death of a person and heavy funeral, waste of property to show the heart.
