Brief Analysis of Civilization Sacrifice and Traditional Sacrifice

As a dimension to test social civilization, sacrificial sweeping under bad habits is unacceptable and must be effectively improved. Advocating and realizing civilized sacrifice is the general trend and the general trend. However, compared with the requirements of civilization and the demands of the public, deep-rooted bad habits are still serious, and uncivilized behaviors and phenomena are still more common. This requires everyone to realize the importance of civilized sacrifice, to transcend tradition, to return to reality, and to promote the progress of the whole social civilization through individual behavior liberation.

The content of sacrifice is rich and complex, with various forms, including the Confucian etiquette and cultural connotation of blessing, as well as the emotional expression of ancestor worship during the Qingming Dragon Boat Festival. According to the previous thinking, there are folk customs such as burning paper to repair graves and setting off firecrackers, but they conflict with the civilized sacrifice advocated at present.

Our country's customs and culture are profound, and there are many related to sacrifice. We should take full care of the reasonable needs of sacrifice, sort out the folk customs such as sacrifice, establish a special folk culture research institution, take its essence, discard its dross, compile a folk manual, and incorporate the relevant contents of civilized sacrifice into it, so as to form a positive model of civilized customs, so as to guide.

People consciously carry out civilized sacrifice methods such as flowers, tree planting and online memorial service. At the same time, it is necessary to further increase the publicity and scope of civilized sacrifices, from primary school textbooks to subway advertisements, from funeral shops to manufacturers of related products, and establish a perfect compensation mechanism to guide enterprises to produce new products of civilized sacrifices. For some extremely negative folk customs, it is necessary to improve relevant legislation and intensify the crackdown.

It takes a long time to change the bad habits of sacrifice, which requires a combination of unblocking and blocking. The power of custom is stubborn and powerful. In the process of advocating civilized sacrifice, we should not rush into it, just like the case of forced cremation in a certain place, which was finally abandoned because of fierce public opinion. We should learn from this lesson. We must adhere to the working idea of taking small steps and walking slowly, starting from education, starting from dolls, starting from places that are most acceptable to the masses, combining with funeral reform, making full use of policies such as medical insurance, civil affairs, education reform, and urbanization promotion, and unremittingly carrying out the propaganda work of civilized sacrifices. We should also seize the opportunity to carry forward Chinese excellent traditional culture, absorb excellent cultural nutrition, and cultivate and develop more new fashions similar to "civilized sacrifice".
