No one can arbitrarily say that those who need to "sweep graves on behalf of customers" are "unfilial descendants" with feelings and money. Objectively speaking, modern people are very busy. Although there are legal holidays in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people who are too far away from home may not be allowed time to visit graves. For these people, paying someone to clean up weeds instead of putting a bunch of flowers in the cemetery of their deceased relatives can actually represent a distant but sincere filial piety, so please be tolerant.
For those who "sweep the graves on behalf of customers", cleaning the graves for customers and offering a bunch of flowers can convey the warmth of missing, but if you kowtow to your parents in front of strangers' graves, tears will obviously be "finished", because in the final analysis, this is just a skill performance without emotional factors. In fact, according to the traditional concept, the deceased is the oldest, and strangers kowtow to their parents and cry loudly at the grave of the deceased. Is it nostalgia and respect, or joking and insulting?
For a few customers who need to sweep graves on behalf of their customers, we should also realize that although others can sweep graves for themselves, they cannot represent their own grief. In other words, it is ok to let others sweep the grave instead of crying. Otherwise, it is really disrespectful to the deceased.
Customers who can't go to the scene and want to sweep the graves for their ancestors can see the flower baskets and paper money written in the cemetery in front of their ancestors' tombstones to collect their ancestors' names, offer sacrifices to their descendants and burn incense. I really can't go to the grave myself. It's better to have someone send me a bunch of flowers to express my feelings than a relative who never thought about dying.
As early as the Song Dynasty, people were hired to attend funerals and mourn for others, so there is no need to make a fuss about modern people sweeping graves. On the one hand, under the market economy, demand has spawned new businesses; On the other hand, it also shows that our national consumption is more rational. Because not everyone has the time, money and physical strength to do it, asking someone to sweep the grave can reduce individual capital and save resources for the society. Think about it, it is enough for China people to "go home collectively" for a Spring Festival. How can I do it if I have another "collective grave sweeping" every year? At least sweeping someone's grave can ease the traffic pressure.
