Burning the paper and coins, banning it; the production and sale of sacrifices, first punished and then said... When it came to the Qingming Dynasty to worship the ancestors, the "one-size-fits-all" policy on sacrifice began to rise in individual areas, and the masses reacted strongly.
It is necessary to advocate civilized sacrifice and sweeping and strengthen safety precautions, but it is necessary to pay attention to ways and methods, and it is not appropriate to simplify and expand governance, thus ignoring the inner needs of the masses and dampening the feelings of the masses.
It is true that some uncivilized ritual sweeping phenomena in the folk have existed for a long time, such as exaggerated and wasteful sacrifices, feudal superstitious practices, and fire hazards, but this is not the mainstream after all. Sending mourning and remembering the deceased has a deep psychological foundation and cultural identity of the masses, and Qingming is a traditional festival that expresses this emotion.
The civilized atmosphere should be promoted, the needs of the masses should also be taken into account, and the long-term and complex nature of changing customs and customs should be fully considered. For example, firecrackers during the Spring Festival are also traditional and polluted, but stipulating fireworks areas and time periods has become a new practice in many cities; for example, creating civilized cities is the general direction, but many places still reserve space for legal and compliant small traders. This shows that as long as the method is appropriate and the scale is reasonable, a balance can be found between tradition and modernity.
The peak of the Qingming Festival is coming. For the relevant management departments in various places, it is necessary to shoulder the responsibility, plan in advance, and the violation of the law is naturally strict in law enforcement, but it is even more necessary to improve the skill, read less "one word recipe" and "lazy word classic", may wish to have more humane, inclusive, creative measures, the next embroidery effort, in the lead of the correct orientation while effectively meeting reasonable needs, so that civilized sacrifice sweeping becomes a new fashion.
Of course, in addition to the traditional way of burning the coin, a bouquet of flowers and a pot of green plants can also send mourning, and everyone may wish to choose some healthier and greener sacrifice methods, in another way to express the sacrifice of the deceased, so that the Qingming Festival can be carried out in a warmer atmosphere.
