Zhou Li returned to the land after his death

With the continuous development trend of people rushing to civilized society, funerals have also developed, and funerals have become more and more complicated.

The "Zhou Li" delineated the category of burial: "All sentient beings will die, and return to the earth after death", under the influence of ritual ideas, a solemn burial ceremony of thick burial has also been formed, requiring "burial with ceremony, sacrifice with ceremony", "coffin will be heavy, clothing and food will be more, embroidery will be complicated, and qiu long will be huge".

We Chinese attach great importance to burial because of all aspects, China is a big agricultural country, land resources are the basis for maintaining life, and "entering the soil for safety" has also become a unique belief.

Since the founding of New China, China's funerary culture and art has also undergone a very big change, in order to better prevent environmental pollution of land resources, in our country gradually mandatory implementation of cremation, efficacy requires all remains cremated, so as to prevent the infection of a variety of bacteria and viruses.

Cremation is the second largest funeral after earth burial

In the late Han Dynasty, cremation appeared, which was also due to the spread of Buddhist concepts, in Buddhism, cremation is the highest standard of funeral rites, and only high hatred can accept cremation of the remains.

Compared with earth burial, cremation does not have complicated etiquette, convenient and fast. The air pollutants emitted by cremation account for a smaller consumption of air pollutants in the world and less environmental pollution.

Although it seems to be small, it still pollutes the environment, and according to this situation, ice burial icons have appeared again. Although cremation is a popular funerary method today, it is about to be eliminated, due to the advent of a new funeral method - ice burial in Wuhan, China

There are many differences between contemporary ice burials and all-natural ice burials. Contemporary ice burials were the first to dispose of the deceased's remains in a liquid state. In the low temperature natural environment of minus 196 degrees, the body's organic chemical organs will quickly dehydrate, and the remains will be as fragile as glass.

After dehydration, the body gradually shakes into the vibrating instruments and equipment, and the already fragile remains gradually split into particles.

The fragments are moved into a specially crafted vacuum chamber, where the moisture is completely sucked away and the remains are moved into a metal separator for further separation. After a series of ice burial treatments, the dust will return to dust and soil after 6 to 12 months after burial

Ice burial is more efficient than earth burial and cremation, but the price will be more expensive, but there are still many people who apply ice burial. Not long ago, in Wuhan City, China, the decision to introduce such technologies caused a great strong response for a time.

And for this kind of funeral method, many people have indicated that it is not acceptable, because this kind of funeral method gives people the impression that they are solving waste. Professors at Peking University showed that the origin of funeral culture is a key indicator of people's progress toward civilization.

The development of funeral culture is the continuous evolution of people's self-esteem concepts, moral concepts, personal values, inheritance, cultural education, and sense of intimacy.

The current rules and regulations of funeral reform undoubtedly make the funeral culture gradually lacking. Wu Fei icon, an expert at Peking University, said bluntly: Now China's funeral rules and regulations are to treat the deceased as domestic garbage.

The funeral unit is a body garbage pool, and its purpose is not to maintain love and respect, not to pursue the distance cautiously, but to solve the deceased as soon as possible.

The difficulty encountered in our country today is that the vast majority of rural areas have sufficient land resources to put cemeteries, but at this stage, large cities are widely used to enter the natural marble cemetery after cremation, and now the funerary field is over-socialized, the price is relatively high, and many people show that they can't afford to die!

It is China's funeral culture today, it should first enhance the historical and humanistic concept of funerals, so that the funeral industry is more committed to doing a good job in funeral services, rather than simply for better profiteering.

In fact, contemporary people can accept whether it is burial, cremation or ice burial, but what cannot be accepted is that it is impossible to hang, and it is a bit unacceptable for today's funeral culture. I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?
