China is a country that attaches great importance to funeral culture, and there is a saying in traditional Chinese culture that "treat death as life", which simply means to treat the dead as if they were still alive.
Because the funeral culture itself also represents that the Chinese nation is a nation that respects its ancestors and ancestors.
And around the funeral culture, there are also many proverbs, such as the grave filling two attention, prosperous people and prosperous wealth. So what kind of soil should be added when adding soil to the grave?
First, pay attention to the grave and add soil
Nowadays, when repairing the graves of ancestors, there is often a phenomenon of adding soil.
Because the tomb of the ancestor itself has been exposed to the wind and sun in the outside world for several years, or even decades, it is normal for the soil on the tomb to evaporate under various natural erosions.
Then, filling these graves is also a kind of respect for the ancestors. However, when doing the renovation of the tomb, you should pay attention to two points.
First of all, when adding soil, you should take about 5 meters of soil from the grave. The reason for this is that the soil in this vicinity and the soil used in the grave itself are the same soil within the same land.
This is mainly because in ancient China, the construction of tombs for ancestors was to pay attention to feng shui, and feng shui had to look at the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Then the foreign soil may have different attributes from the local soil, and in this case, taking the soil with different attributes, or even the soil with conflicting attributes, may not be conducive to the development of the family in the future.
At the same time, yellow soil should also be used when adding soil, because yellow soil generally symbolizes the central loceltic soil.
It is considered to be a relatively advanced type of soil in the land culture, and the use of this kind of soil can not only make the tomb look good, but also reflect the respect of the ancients for the older generation.
Moreover, the use of yellow soil is also directly related to the ancient Chinese worship of dragons. Yellow itself was a very noble color in ancient cultures, for example, those who could wear bright yellow clothes were generally emperors.
And when repairing the graves of the elderly in the family, if you use those soil that is not good color, such as red clay, white clay, or even black clay, it means that it is ominous.
This is also a kind of disrespect for the elderly in the family, so there are indeed many doorways in this. When repairing the graves of the elderly in the family, you must pay more attention.
Nowadays, many people feel that there is no need to preserve this cultural tradition. It is not necessary to pay too much attention to what kind of repair should be used, but this idea itself is wrong.
When the Chinese people accept these ancient traditional cultures, they should indeed accept them from a dialectical perspective. Accept what makes sense, and discard it as dross if it doesn't.
But respecting the ancestors who passed away, this cannot be regarded as cultural dross, but should become the essence of culture.
Second, the concept of the Chinese family is fundamentally different from the concept of Western style
In fact, China has such a complex funeral culture, mainly because we have enough respect for our ancestors.
But now there are many people advocating Western-style funerals, not giving any funeral goods, just buy a coffin and bury it vertically.
However, this Western-style funeral culture is not applicable in China, because Westerners have a weak sense of family. This is also directly related to the special historical development process of the West.
China is a country with thousands of years of agricultural feudal history, so for Chinese, it is a habit to respect ancestors and respect clan relations.
But in the United States and Western countries, their cultural history is far less old than that of China.
Even some Western countries have only taken one or two hundred years to enter the modern society from the era of semi-slavery and semi-feudalism, so they do not have so much cultural precipitation, nor do they have time to form a clan culture.
Over time, the concept of family in the West is quite weak. In China, parents will support their children until they reach adulthood.
But in Western countries, many children need to go out to work when they are teenagers, and they have to rely on themselves.
It is said that it is to exercise the children's personal life ability, but in fact, it is very risky to put the children who are not yet able to work directly into the society.
From this point, we can also see how weak the family concept is in the United States and the West. But from a sociological point of view, a weak sense of family is not a good thing.
A weak sense of family means that the family is not close to each other, which will lead to a lack of human affection, which is why capitalism in the United States and Western countries can be so popular.
Because most Westerners emphasize the self, the individual rather than the whole. This extreme individualism can lead to serious selfishness, so most Western nationals do not have much sense of national responsibility and national identity.
In the eyes of these people, they don't care about the concept of family and country at all, whether it is family or country, it means little to them.
From the national level, even this overall sense of responsibility and honor cannot be formed, which is very fatal.
This means that although the stability of these countries exists, it is based on the rapid development of the economy, and once social development comes to a standstill, ordinary people will desperately take to the streets to make trouble. This, in turn, will once again affect the social order in these countries.
Why can't many key projects be built by foreigners, but we can? Isn't it because the Chinese have a stronger sense of social responsibility?
In the years of the new crown epidemic, the new crown virus swept the world, but almost only China has really established an effective epidemic prevention and control mechanism.
This is because every Chinese adheres to and trusts the country's policies, and every Chinese has a strong sense of social responsibility.
But in the United States and Western countries, this kind of thing is almost impossible.
If the governments of the United States and Western countries ask their citizens to stay at home honestly, not to go out to spread the virus, or even to quarantine them, these people may still feel that their human rights have been violated.
In their eyes, the so-called freedom and human rights are more important than human life, and they can completely ignore the lives of their fellow citizens for the sake of freedom and human rights.
But if someone is obviously infected with some dangerous viruses in China, and still runs around, they will be drowned by the spitting stars a long time ago. This is the biggest cultural difference between China and the United States and Western countries.
3. It is necessary to respect the elderly who have passed away
Now let's talk about the precautions for repairing the graves of the elderly and adding soil.
The existence of these precautions is necessary, and we should have full respect for these elderly people who have dedicated their lives to the country and their families.
This generation of old people did not enjoy much social welfare, they were born in an era of turmoil.
When they were young, the country was not rich, and there was no way to enjoy the material life they have now, what they could do was to constantly strive to contribute to the development of the country and the construction of the country.
Moreover, the elderly of that generation often have a stronger sense of social responsibility, as well as perseverance and self-improvement in the face of problems, and dare to dedicate themselves.
It can be said that the generation of elderly people who can live to this day has a character that modern people are worth learning from. They didn't have a good life for a few days in total, and after their deaths, their descendants should naturally give them enough respect.
If it weren't for their efforts when they were young, how could there be a happy life for their juniors?
This is also the reason why Chinese respect their deceased elders so much, because these elders have worked hard all their lives, and it can be said that all for the sake of future generations.
And how many people can still have this kind of selfless dedication? Therefore, inheriting these ancient Chinese funeral cultural traditions is also a kind of full respect for these old people who have dedicated their lives.
Moreover, it is true that it takes a little more attention when repairing their graves, and it is indeed not a matter of effort, and if you can, you should pay more attention.
And when repairing the tombs of the ancestors, in addition to these two precautions, we should also pay attention to some other things.
For example, we must carefully repair the graves of our ancestors, and they should not be done by outsiders, but by the family members who put the soil on the graves of the ancestors with a shovel.
And try not to buckle the soil upside down, because the upside-down buckle is a sign of disrespect in itself.
At the same time, when sprinkling soil, it is also necessary to pay attention to spreading the soil evenly, and also pick out the small stones and branches in the soil to be sprinkled.
In this way, the tomb can be made beautiful, and it is also a full respect for the ancestors.
From a popular point of view, as long as you can pay attention to the grave and add soil, it is indeed good to prosper people and wealth.
Because a person who can fully notice these thoughts, he must be a person who knows how to respect, and he is also a polite and polite person in daily life, and a person like this is very good in society.
Because only if you give others enough respect, they will respect you in the same way, which is an important social skill.
Therefore, there are many subjective factors in the half sentence of prosperous people and prosperous wealth, and when socializing, respect is the first priority that everyone must adhere to.
Epilogue:
Although many cultural traditions have been abandoned, filial piety to the elders is not cultural dross, but the cultural essence of the mainland.
Therefore, for every Chinese person, we should learn filial piety, abide by filial piety, only to be filial enough to the elders, in order to develop better in the future.
If a person is not even filial to his ancestors and does not respect him, then his moral level will not be too high.
A person with a low moral level like this, no matter how strong his ability is, is meaningless, because no one wants to be friends with an unfilial person.
