What customs can be abandoned during Qingming Festival?

The custom of sweeping tombs and burning paper money during Qingming Festival should be abandoned.

Although burning paper money is popular among the people, it caters to the public's psychology of compensating the deceased during sacrifices. However, with the continuous development of the times and the advancement of science, the customs of this festival have gradually changed. We no longer believe that burning paper money can bring real compensation to the deceased. On the contrary, these uncivilized behaviors not only affect It damages the city appearance, pollutes the air, and creates fire hazards.

"As the saying goes, "Sincerity leads to spirituality." The greatest respect for the deceased does not lie in the pomp and circumstance, nor in the amount of paper money burned, but in the sincerity of the person offering sacrifices. During the Qingming Festival, all you have to do is leave behind the tapes of distracting thoughts. Only with sincerity and "respect" can we respect the tradition, and the meaning of the Qingming Festival is to express the most sincere grief for the lost relatives.

What to do when offering sacrifices. Families burn a large amount of paper money, which seems to bring them inner comfort. The sky full of paper smoke and ashes floating around really desecrate the true meaning of the "Qingming" festival today.

Therefore, we advocate here that the Qingming Festival should be carried out by sweeping flowers, sweeping trees, "leisure-style" grave sweeping, and online mourning halls. We should follow the good family tradition and have a clear and indifferent heart. We want to express our condolences to our deceased loved ones through civilized memorial services
