After more than 2000 years of feudal dynasty rule, China's feudal concept has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. If the New Culture Movement is the beginning of emancipating China people's minds, then the Revolution of 1911 is a milestone in emancipating the minds. Since the founding of New China, China people's minds have undergone tremendous changes. But in China people's ideas, some ideas are still hard to change, such as "going to the grave" after death.

China believes in Buddhism. Buddhism believes that people should be reincarnated after death. If they do more good deeds and accumulate virtues in their lives, they will be reborn into a good family for the rest of their lives. When a heinous person dies, they will be crushed, the ashes will be raised and never reborn. However, with the development of science, it has been proved that the theory of ghosts and gods is nonsense, and the traditional burial method will greatly waste land resources, so the country began to carry out cremation, which runs counter to the traditional concept of "earth burial" in China and has the same effect as "suppressing bones and raising ashes", so it is very laborious to carry out this burial method in China. But this situation has begun to make a breakthrough, because "cremation" is out of date or will be eliminated? The new method is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, so has this new method been implemented in Wuhan, Hubei?

First, burial

The most primitive and mainstream burial method in China is earth burial, which has a lot to do with China's belief in Buddhism. In ancient times, people even attached great importance to the burial place after death. Generally speaking, Mr. Feng Shui is allowed to choose his own Feng Shui treasure according to his birthday. People believe that the better the geomantic omen where the tomb is located, the more people will be buried with it, and the better the next life will be. Ordinary people are still like this, let alone royalty. The ancient emperor built a cemetery for himself from the beginning of his reign. The geographical location of the ancient imperial cemetery is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, which is beautifully and grandly built and can be buried with people.

Speaking of this funerary object, it is also varied. People believe that these funerary objects will be reincarnated with themselves, so when they die, they often leave their last words telling their children to bury themselves with their beloved things. The funerary objects of ordinary people are only gold and silver jewelry at most, while the funerary objects of emperors' families are not only gold and silver jewelry.

Before the Qin Dynasty, princes and emperors all over the world were popular in burying the living, hoping to take these people to continue to serve themselves in the next life. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he also hoped that someone would continue to serve him after his reincarnation, but he felt that it was too cruel to be buried with the living, so he ordered the pottery figurines to be burned with himself according to the real people. "The smoke of the six countries has been eliminated, and there is no competition between human beings. The ghost heard that he was king, and there were 100 thousand soldiers. " This is a description of Qin Shihuang and his Terracotta Warriors.

From the location of tombs to the choice of funerary objects, the ancients always kept improving for thousands of years. It was not until after the founding of New China that the state vigorously promoted cremation and gradually abolished it. However, this has not affected these traditional ideas in China people's minds. Second, cremation.

After the founding of New China, the state began to advocate cremation and abolish burial. Cremation can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also save land resources. The ashes left after cremation are also brought back by family members, which is convenient for future generations to worship on holidays. No matter from any aspect, cremation is much more convenient than burial, but the acceptance of cremation in China is generally not high, preferring to be buried underground to rot after death rather than accept a more advanced cremation. However, cremation is still the most mainstream way of burial in China, because the country explicitly prohibits burial. The reason why cremation is rejected by Chinese people may be that the way of cremation easily leads to the deep-rooted traditional concept in the hearts of Chinese people, that is, cremation is the same as ancient "frustration."

Third, ice burial

Now the problem of not accepting cremation has been solved, because a new burial method has quietly emerged, that is, ice burial. The so-called ice burial is to put the body in liquid nitrogen at MINUS 200 degrees, let the body freeze instantly, and then smash the body with ultrasonic waves. This new burial method is undoubtedly the most advanced and environmentally friendly at present. It will not waste a lot of land resources like burial, nor will it produce a lot of carbon dioxide gas like cremation, which will lead to global warming. At present, this new burial method has been tried out in Wuhan. I think this new burial method should be more acceptable to Chinese people than cremation. After all, with the continuous progress of society, people's acceptance of new things is getting higher and higher.

label

"falling red is not a heartless thing, but turning into spring mud protects flowers more." There are no ghosts in the world. No matter what kind of burial method is chosen, it will not affect the return to nature like a flower after death and nourish everything. No matter which burial method can save resources for future generations, it is the best burial method.
