Qixian Qingming Festival Online Memorial and Sweeping Initiative 2022 (2021 Qingming Festival Civilized Memorial and Sweeping Initiative)

Fellow folks in Qixian County:

The spring breeze brings warmth, and it is the Qingming Festival again. At this time of remembering the past, remembering our ancestors, and grieving, we need to prevent people from returning to their hometowns to worship ancestors and gather together to do so, which may cause the spread of the virus and the spread of the epidemic, and to effectively protect the health and life safety of the broad masses of the people. We propose:

Establish a new trend and perform remote sacrifices.

Advocate for civilized memorial methods such as online memorial services, reciting memorial texts, and family memorial services; advocate for relatives and friends living outside Qixian County to carry out "cloud sacrifices" through the Internet and other forms; advocate for online "sacrifice to heroes" activities, Commemorate the revolutionary martyrs through online flowers, messages, etc.

Pursue funeral arrangements and manage funerals frugally. Carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of "respecting the old, loving the young, filial piety and loving relatives", establish a new concept of caring for the elderly, and advocate filial piety while they are still alive, so that they can be taken care of and enjoy themselves in old age; advocate simple funeral arrangements, not too big a deal We should do things grandly, avoid extravagance and waste, and encourage the use of ecological burial methods that occupy less or no land space to better promote the harmonious development of man and nature and benefit future generations.

Sacrifice and sweeping are a form, and civilization is a fashion. Let us take active action, start from small things, start from ourselves, start from now, remember our ancestors and pay homage to the deceased in a civilized way, and contribute to consolidating the results of epidemic prevention and control and practicing the new trend of civilization!
