Introduction
In China's long-term historical and cultural aspects, it contains very broad aspects, including both solar terms, beliefs, food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as agriculture and funeral culture. In ancient my country, most of the treatments of the deceased in my country chose the method of burial.
However, with the changes of the times and the development and changes of society, burial is no longer a funeral model suitable for Chinese society, and our country has been vigorously promoting cremation.
Basically, many areas now choose cremation for the treatment of the deceased, but just when cremation has basically reached the full popularization of knowledge, now has news that burial will be restored, and there is also Peking University professor who specializes in supporting burial. Why is this?
Speaking of these funeral methods, the most distant history is burial. Burials have a history of development in China for thousands of years, and in different regions, burials have different cultural expressions. , but now with the development and changes of cities, in those cities where every inch of land is valuable and the environment close to each high-rise building, there are no available resources for burials.
As for the country's previous vigorous promotion of cremation, it is because burial is not suitable for my country's development needs. Since China's current arable land area is limited, the soil still needs to occupy more arable land area.
This will cause a lot of waste in domestic construction sites, and also lead to the arable land originally used to grow grain, which will eventually be used to bury the dead, causing considerable trouble to the living and easily causing insufficient national food supply.
What's more, burying the dead's corpse in the soil will also cause the corpse to be decomposed by the microorganisms in the soil, and the land will be polluted after the harmful substances are generated. When these harmful substances penetrate deep into the groundwater along with the soil and destroy the water balance, it will also cause water resources pollution.
In addition, these corpses are prone to bacteria after being decomposed by microorganisms. They can be spread to people using groundwater and air, which may cause the spread of diseases. From this point of view, cremation does have some difficult disadvantages.
and cremation is more suitable. In fact, most urban people now choose cremation when dealing with the bodies of the deceased. It not only does not cause resource pollution, but also saves more space. If the country is now focusing on promoting cremation in the country, there are still many farmers who cannot accept this funeral treatment method.
In their opinion, Chinese people have always paid attention to being buried. If cremation is used, the deceased will feel disrespectful to the deceased. After all, after decades of life, they can only be transformed into a piece of soil, which is indeed difficult for the family to accept. Since some rural people have not received a high level of education and have superstitious ideas, does not have a correct understanding of death, which can easily make them resist the treatment of cremation.
However, on the other hand, although my country has been vigorously promoting the cremation system, it is limited to publicity and will not force people to adopt this kind of funeral method, so there are still a small number of rural areas who still adopt burial methods.
There are also some rural people who are relatively compromised. They say they can accept cremation methods, but they cannot completely abandon burials. Under the guidance of this idea, these rural people have developed a new funeral model.
means that after a person dies, the corpse is refined into ashes through cremation, but it requires that the ashes be buried in the soil. In fact, this approach is no different from burying the corpse directly in the soil. It will still occupy land resources. will make the originally small land resources even more tense, but its advantage may be that it will not easily cause water pollution and disease transmission.
In the final analysis, this funeral method still goes against the original intention of my country to implement the cremation system. For this reason, some netizens believe that rural areas should still be allowed to restore the traditional burial system, and urban people continue to use the more popular cremation system now. In fact, regarding this situation, Professor Wu Fei , Professor Wu Fei expressed his views. Professor Wu Fei's proposal is to restore burial.
In Professor Wu Fei's view, we also have the choice of respecting some people to let their families be buried. Since the cremation system has been implemented, it has not achieved good results in the vast rural areas.
, then it is better to simply restore burials normally in rural areas. However, considering the overflow of burials, it will cause pollution, occupation and even disease transmission in arable land. If burials are restored, it is necessary to establish a cemetery for burial bodies and make some specific plans.
For some rural people who support burial, they can still bury their relatives' bodies in a cemetery, which also meets their need for their families to be buried.
On the other hand, collective burial in cemeteries will not cause a large amount of waste of land resources.
summary
From the current situation, the "restoring burial" system proposed by Professor Wu Fei is indeed feasible, but the method the country will choose depends on the changes in the actual situation in the end.
Today’s hot discussion: Is it possible to recover the burial? Why do Peking University professors support burial? The following reasons may explain
