Traditional Sacrifice: Some citizens said in an interview that they would continue the traditional ways of sacrifice, such as burning paper money and offering wreaths, but it is gratifying that the reporter found that compared with the traditional custom of burning incense, Dongying citizens are generally more rational, not blindly pursuing quantity, but paying more attention to giving "hearts".

Sacrifice to Green Civilization: With the change of people's concept, beautiful flowers have gradually become a necessity for Tomb-Sweeping Day's sacrifice. In recent years, more and more citizens admire the "green" way of offering sacrifices. In the eyes of many young and middle-aged citizens, some "villas" and "houses" sold in sacrificial shops are made of benzene boards, which will pollute the environment when burned. By offering a bunch of flowers, toasting, planting a tree, reliving the deeds of martyrs and other civilized and healthy ways to remember the martyrs and ancestors, we advocate folk activities such as outing, hiking and flying kites, cultivate a healthy and civilized holiday lifestyle, consciously resist vulgar sacrificial supplies, bid farewell to sacrificial habits, and advocate civilized sacrificial methods. Sacrificial supplies: flowers, fruits, vegetarian food, cakes and drinks.
