In the process of social development and progress, we are often faced with various problems of the legacy left by our deceased relatives. If not properly housed or disposed of, it can not only cause distress to our lives, but it can also pose a potential danger to future generations who are in it. Through my own experience and some of the cases I've come across, I'd like to share a few tips on how to handle this type of heritage safely and decently. First of all, it should be clear that inheritance is not limited to material wealth, it also covers all spiritual and cultural inheritance, including the family. In dealing with such matters, the principles that we need to follow should be lawful, appropriate and forceful.
The first is the issue of sacrifice. Chinese people have always attached great importance to funeral etiquette, especially when moving to a new home, relatives and friends will most of them set off fireworks in front of the house to celebrate and congratulate. The sacrifices produced in the process are sometimes forgotten or placed in a haphazard manner. There are many types of offerings, including fruits, flowers, pastries, alcohol, and more. It is important to note that sacrifices often pose potential hygiene and storage safety hazards due to lack of proper handling. For example, food and beverages that have been left out for too long are prone to spoilage, and the growth of bacteria and viruses can threaten people's health at any time. Therefore, when we clean up these offerings, it is important to choose food and drinks that are fresh, clean, and have the appropriate proof of hygiene. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the cleanliness and maintenance of the surrounding environment of the grave, and try to prevent unnecessary garbage accumulation and pollution.
Now let's talk about clothing. In most cases, after the death of a family elder, many of the legacies they leave behind are likely to be vintage clothing that is outdated or does not conform to modern aesthetic tastes. If we are not careful with these garments, there is a high risk of wasting resources and clutter. In fact, we can consider donating these clothes to social welfare institutions or recycling used clothes. For example, turning discarded clothes into rags, wool and other household items not only reduces the pressure on their own storage, but also contributes to the cause of environmental protection.
In addition to this, there are books and various documents. After the death of the family elders, some of the relics left to us may be their collection of books and handwritten notes. We must not ignore these valuable heritages, which once held a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we must not let them become scattered or unusable and become waste. Instead, we should make them as public as possible, such as donating them to libraries, schools, and even professional research institutes, so that more people can benefit from them. Even if we can't sell or donate it directly, we can try to reorganize and edit these documents and make them into various small gifts, cards, or beautiful art displays, so as to provide practical value, protect the documents from erosion, and be reused.
Finally, on the question of the urn. The urn is a very special relic, which lies there quietly, silently and solemnly. In traditional Chinese culture, the urn is regarded as one of the most important places for the deceased to rest. Choosing an urn with reliable quality and reasonable design is not only related to the respect and remembrance of the deceased family, but also involves the necessity of safe care. When purchasing and arranging the urn of a deceased loved one, we should always be vigilant about the impact of its quality on the safety of the cotton and chemical materials inside the coffin and urn, so that the ashes can be preserved for a long time.
To sum up, objectivity and prudence should be the leading ideology when dealing with the estate left by deceased relatives. As the actual situation faced by each person is different, the specific way to deal with it depends on the situation. It is hoped that the views and recommendations in this article will provide an effective guide for those who choose to inherit their family estate, and work together to preserve and pass on their family heritage to the greatest extent possible. At the same time, we should also cherish the good memories given to us by our family, which is one of the important elements that form our unique personality and unique charm.
