The increase in the price of cemeteries and the high utilization rate of this form of ancestral hall space may be two reasons for this business. However, this method does not last long. More than a dozen buildings are filled with urns, which inevitably gives people a feeling of horror and will affect the lives of normal people to a certain extent. But when it comes to house demolition, do it again? Move the grave? If this cycle continues, there will be more and more urns to be stored, and more and more ancestral halls will be needed. Such buildings will occupy more and more space, and over time they will compete with the living for living space, which is also contrary to the methods of sea burial and tree burial advocated by the state.
I dare to guess that with the continuous increase of urban population and buildings, human living space will become crowded and land prices will rise. Developers will not choose to build houses of this nature in cities as ancestral temples, but will turn their targets to rural areas with vast territory and sparse population. So people from rural areas will flock to cities more, leaving only those? House? In this way, cities become more crowded, and the countryside becomes colder and even gloomy, forming two extremes, which is not conducive to our long-term development.
Are we particular about China? Rest in peace? Perhaps what future generations did was out of filial piety, but it was not necessarily what the ancestors wanted. Since burial, tree burial, sea burial and other traditional burial methods have been popular in China for so long, there must be reasons for their existence. Why don't we deal with it in the traditional way? Why bother yourself and tinker around?
I don't deny that this form of ancestral temple has certain advantages, but from a comprehensive and long-term perspective, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. What matters is not the way of burial, but the thoughts in our hearts, and the feelings in our hearts are greater than any superficial form.
