In some rural families, the funeral ceremony is very grand and even lasts for about half a month.
Nowadays, funerals are very popular in the countryside at night. After the death of the old man, the children of the old man greeted guests during the day, but secretly attended the funeral at night. What happened? What should the state do about it?
The reason why funerals are popular in rural areas at night is really helpless. According to the tradition of our country, funerals are usually held during the day, because the light is better during the day, which is convenient for everyone to hold a mourning ceremony.
However, in recent years, night funerals have suddenly become popular in many rural areas, which has a lot to do with the funeral methods in China.
Burial has been popular in China for thousands of years. However, with the development of the new economy, cremation has become popular in cities, but it is unacceptable in many rural areas, especially many elderly people who told their children many times before their death that they had never been cremated.
Today's young people may understand the national policy and choose cremation after death, but they can't convince their parents.
Parents have worked hard to raise themselves, but even the last wish of their families can't be realized, so they can only go to the funeral secretly at night, forming a strange phenomenon of going to the funeral in the countryside at night.
Cremation or burial? Not across the board! There is great controversy about the mode of funeral.
The mode of cremation is chosen because it can save farming area, control funeral chaos and facilitate management.
However, many elderly people in rural areas do not recognize the mode of cremation. Many old people think it is extremely painful to be burned to ashes after death, so they would rather be buried.
Culture and customs are difficult to change in a short time, especially in funeral events, and many people are unwilling to compromise.
In this regard, the state has also introduced relevant regulations.
There will be no one-size-fits-all funeral mode, that is, cremation will not be enforced in all areas.
Due to the different policies in different regions, the specific funeral methods need to be consulted with relevant local departments.
The funeral chaos in rural areas is prominent, and the state has introduced new funeral regulations. Although the country has introduced more flexible funeral policies as far as possible, funeral chaos in rural areas is still endless.
For example, in some areas, bad habits are not changed, and irregular funeral methods such as killing games are popular. Funeral ceremonies in other areas are too grand, and they last for half a month.
In this regard, the relevant state departments stipulate that for such unqualified graves, the tomb demolition work may be carried out later.
As for the organization of funeral, the state also explicitly prohibits it, and says that everyone can report it to the relevant departments.
Guizhou takes the lead, and Taoist priests also have qualification certificates. For the funeral way of going out at night, Guizhou took the lead in introducing a series of policies.
The relevant departments in Guizhou said that funeral activities should not last more than three days in both cities and villages. If there are special circumstances, they can apply to the relevant departments to extend the funeral to about five days.
This completely put an end to the behavior of organizing funeral ceremonies.
In addition, the relevant departments in Guizhou made it clear that in the funeral activities, the funeral time is from 7 am to 3 pm, and it is strictly forbidden to go out at night.
In other words, if people in this area still attend funerals at night, they will be punished by relevant laws and regulations.
In funeral activities, some areas will invite some song and dance troupes. Some unknown Feng Shui teachers will be invited to help with the funeral.
Regarding this feudal superstition, Guizhou said that professional Taoist priests must have relevant qualification certificates, otherwise they will bear legal responsibilities.
Funeral forms in Guizhou are quite special, and some villages have cemeteries. According to the regulations, these areas must enter the cemetery after holding funeral activities.
If you can't enter the cemetery under special circumstances, you should contact the street in advance and go through the relevant formalities.
In a word, the funeral problem in rural areas has always been serious, and various funeral problems have emerged one after another, and many policies have been introduced before and after the country.
However, there is still a period of time from the promulgation to the implementation of the policy. During this period, if there are other problems, the state will also adjust the policy.
The popularity of evening funerals in some rural areas is mainly due to the fact that many elderly people in rural areas like to be buried after death.
In this regard, the state has introduced a policy that will not be across the board, but at the same time, it has also introduced many new regulations to govern funeral culture.
Funeral ceremonies are legal and compliant as long as they are carried out within the prescribed scope.
