Daqing Municipal Civilization Office releases initiative on civilized sacrifices during the Ghost Festival

Dear citizens:

The autumn breeze brings coolness, and it’s the Chinese New Year again. In this time of remembering our ancestors and grieving, in order to consolidate the current epidemic prevention and control results, respect tradition, care for the environment, create a civilized, harmonious, clean and orderly urban environment, and help our city become a national civilized model city with high standards and high quality Moving forward, we propose:

Pursue the future with caution and pass down the virtues to the next generation. Carry forward the traditional virtues of respecting and loving the elderly, adhering to the fine style of diligence, thrift and simplicity, and advocating filial piety and caring for the living elderly so that they can be provided for and enjoy themselves in old age. When an old man passes away, he refrains from extravagance, extravagance, or comparison with others, and expresses his grief in a frugal way.

Love my homeland and prioritize environmental protection. When sacrifices are burned, ashes rise and smoke fills the air, seriously damaging the urban environment. Advocate to abide by social ethics and prohibit burning sacrificial items in public places such as urban roadsides, squares, residential areas, green belts, and residential areas, while maintaining a clean and orderly environment.

Carry out civilized sacrifices and abandon bad habits. Consciously abandon uncivilized ways of worship and change ideas. We advocate the use of flower sacrifices, online sacrifices, holding family memorial services, recalling the virtues of the deceased, inheriting the spiritual culture of the deceased and other civilized ways to express grieves and respect the deceased, and become practitioners of farewell to bad habits and civilized sacrifices.

Be the first to set an example and lead by example. The majority of party members and cadres must take the lead in setting an example, and all new era civilized practice centers, institutes, and stations must take the initiative to mobilize volunteers for civilized practices, carry out various forms of civilized sacrifice publicity and education activities, influence and inspire the people around them with practical actions, and consciously We should carry out memorial ceremonies in a civilized and safe manner, turn the nostalgia for our ancestors into practical actions to build a new Daqing and contribute to society, and promote the progress of social civilization with green memorial services.

Dear citizens, striving to create a national civilized model city and create a Daqing with a beautiful environment, harmonious livability, civility and courtesy is the beautiful vision of all citizens, and everyone is the main force. Let us act quickly, worship in a civilized manner, change customs, and together safeguard the positive results of epidemic prevention and control, strictly abide by the normalized epidemic prevention and control requirements, and spend a civilized, environmentally friendly, and frugal Ghost Festival together.
