Today is the "Zhongyuan Festival", as well as the "Ghost Festival" and "Obon Festival". Obon, a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Ulambana, originally means "to save the upside down", that is, to rescue ghosts suffering in hell. The Chinese nation has a tradition of respecting the elderly and worshipping ancestors, and it is understandable to worship ancestors during the "Zhongyuan Festival".
Paper ash everywhere
How many billions are also sent away from here
Where are the ancestors? In the hearts of the younger generations, on the "ancestral case" hung during the Spring Festival, in the columbarium, in the cemetery, and also on the ancestral grave. "Sending money" (burning paper) to ancestors or deceased people on the Middle Yuan Festival is a tradition for people in many regions, and paying homage to ancestors is a "virtue". If you do something contrary to "morality" in the name of accumulating "merit", it will insult the conduct of the ancestors and lack great virtue!
Ingots thrown around
Ingots can be found everywhere
Today, I went out to the company's corn field to check the growth of crops, and along the way I encountered many thick ash stalls on the side of the road, needless to say, it was a place where some family members mourned the deceased, burning the coins with large denominations to the deceased, hoping that they would be free in the spirit of heaven and bless the living with prosperity and health!
Paper ash next to the grave
The grave is hidden in a cornfield
However, some people use the ancestral grave as a place of sacrifice, but the grave is in the middle of the cornfield, and when you encounter "ignorant" people, it is inevitable that the crops will be harmed. Today we encountered several cases that made people want to "greet" their ancestors: in the large farmland we contracted, there were scattered graves, and some really did something insulting to our ancestors - stepping on hundreds of corn plants, "Uncle can endure, aunt can't bear"!
What the immoral people did to insult their ancestors
The damage is serious!
These acts of vandalism ranged from the "sheep's intestine path" that led from the road to the grave, to the "road of the village" formed by tricycles crushing through the cornfield, and the rows of corn that were being grouted were "razed to the ground". It is difficult to judge whether their "lack of morality" behavior is "passed down from ancestors" or the act of unfilial piety. To be sure, this practice does not correspond to the socialist "core values" and bring shame on the ancestors for you!
Destroy enough acres of land!
Aren't these people afraid to go to hell?
We take photos of these vandalism in the fields to collect evidence, and with these graves, we are not afraid that we will not find the "vandals". Those "wicked people" who do not respect the fruits of people's labor, harm others for self-interest, beggar-thy-neighbor, and insult their ancestors must be "educated" and bear the losses caused by the destruction of crops!
