One of the fairest things for human beings is that God gives us the same death, as the saying goes, there is death in life. Whether poor or rich, it is inevitable that they will eventually die, so many emperors in ancient times prayed for eternal life, even if they were male lords like The Qin Emperor Han Wu, it was difficult to avoid, but in the end, no one could escape death. Since death is an established fact, one has to study the treatment of death.
Emperors have the tombs of emperors, and the people have the burial methods of the people. In ancient times, the body skin was affected by the parents, did not dare to damage, so the burial was popular at that time, and people with conditions also used various ways to keep the body intact, and built a huge group of tombs to set off their own status, and even found someone to bury such a cruel thing.
In modern times, the state has gradually banned burial and changed to cremation, but there are still many people who secretly choose to bury their ancestors by burial. A few days ago, there was a stir about this.
Not long ago, Zhang Mou of Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, did not cremate his mother's body in accordance with the regulations, but directly carried out a burial, so in the case that his mother had been buried, the body was taken away by the mayor of the town.
According to the response of the local funeral service department staff, as early as 2017, Pingtang County has begun to implement the cremation system in an all-round way, and most residents are willing to cooperate with the funeral reform work.
After the death of Zhang Jianhu's mother, the staff went to the door three times to coordinate communication and issued a funeral management notice. However, Zhang Jianhu himself did not cooperate, so the staff transported the body to the county funeral home for cremation in accordance with the corresponding regulations. Whether this matter is right or not, netizens are also quarreling.
The implementation of cremation is generally to save land resources, what is the most profitable nowadays, real estate. In order to save land resources, China advocates the use of cremation instead of traditional burial, after all, 1.4 billion people per person a grave will really use up a lot of places. In Japan, in order to make better use of the already scarce land, their cremation accounts for the highest proportion, more than 90%. Some other burial methods have recently become popular in our country, and the root cause is also because of land resources.
Nowadays, housing prices are ridiculously high, and some people have hit the idea on the cemetery. According to the survey, the price of cemeteries in major cities across the country is rising, cheap one or two thousand per square, expensive even as high as hundreds of thousands per square, the sky-high price of the cemetery makes people cry out that they can't afford to bury.
In order to make better room for the land, various burial methods that do not occupy the land began to appear. The common is water burial sea burial, just a few days ago, the tenth autumn sea burial ceremony in Jinan City was held in Qingdao. 92 family members rushed to Qingdao with the Second Funeral Home in Jinan City to hold a sea burial ceremony for 52 deceased.
The whole sea burial process is divided into: registration, confirmation, formalities, ashes replacement, ashes transportation, public sacrifice ceremony, going to sea, issuing certificates and other links. The cost of sea burial is 2,000 yuan per deceased person, and the cost of food and accommodation is 500 yuan for each family member who follows. However, in order to advocate people to carry out sea burials, the local government has also given subsidies, if the ashes are scattered or all the ashes are scattered into the sea, rivers, etc., the reward is 4,000 yuan, and other forms also have rewards ranging from 1,000-3,000 yuan.
Shenzhen will also hold the 2021 free sea burial of ashes on November 18, which will be held in the waters of Dapeng Bay in Shenzhen. Compared with cremation burial, sea burial does reduce the use of a lot of land, but there are more sea burials, and it is estimated that even the graves will gradually disappear in the future, and there will be no rain during the Qingming Period in the future. In ancient times, it was often said that the ashes of frustration were raised, and now they have really begun to rise.
In order to reduce the use of land resources, many scientists are studying how we can better integrate with nature. There is a burial method for ice burial in South Korea. We all know that if the human body is completely frozen, once the ice is destroyed, the person will also be shattered into one place.
The ice burial is to freeze the body with liquid nitrogen at minus 196 ° C to make it crisp, and then use the vibrator to shatter the body and become powdered, so that the body becomes a very small Xiaoice piece, and then the Xiaoice pieces are evaporated, leaving the ashes, and finally the ashes are loaded into an organic coffin made of Shu powder or potato flour, and after 6 to 12 months, the ashes will return to dust and the soil will return to the soil. In fact, this practice is similar to cremation, mainly depending on personal choice.
There is also a sky burial in some areas, the so-called sky burial, that is, the body is transported to a place called the sky burial ground, so that the eagles in the sky can peck at the body. In their view, the eagle pecking at the corpse is a symbol of the elimination of sins, so they have to transport the body early, so that they can let the eagle eat it earlier, and many tourists also come to visit.
There is also the method of adopting green space, planting some trees and scattering the ashes of their relatives under the trees for burial. This is a burial method that many environmentalists respect, marked by commemorative trees or natural stones, which can not only send mourning, but also green the environment. And the price of tree burial is relatively low, the general price ranges from 2, 3 thousand to 8, 9 thousand, if you can't afford to buy a cemetery after death, you can try this.
In the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, the word "burial" has always been valued, and all ethnic groups have different burial methods. Various burial methods are the traditions left by various ethnic groups, and it is still a long way to completely change the way of funerals. How to choose the various burial methods of earth burial, cremation, sea burial, and tree burial still needs further exploration.
