What do you think of the rule of “detaining a Feng Shui practitioner for more than 4 days after a funeral”? Is it too inhumane?

I don’t know if you have heard of this rule. Feng Shui practitioners will be detained for four days after the funeral. This incident comes from a screenshot of a group chat provided by netizens. The picture shows that a notice clearly states: According to the spirit of the town people's government's special meeting on changing customs on the 14th of this month, arrangements, deployments, and decisions were made. From today onwards, all weddings that comply with the arrangements will be kept simple (general wedding banquets are not allowed to exceed 20 tables). The funeral must be settled within four days. If it exceeds four days, the Feng Shui Mr. Feng Shui will be administratively detained by the police station first, and the parties concerned will also be punished accordingly. Party members and cadres who violate regulations will be severely punished.

I can only say that this provision is difficult to understand. First of all, this provision cannot find any legal basis. There is no law that stipulates that a Feng Shui practitioner should be detained for more than four days after a funeral. Secondly, there is no basis for how the 4-day standard was derived. However, after the introduction of this regulation, the local government has responded. According to local customs, the funeral process will last about a week. The main purpose of stipulating that the funeral should be completed within four days is to reduce gatherings during the epidemic, and also to promote the change of customs.

We can understand that the epidemic will reduce gatherings in the future, but in the future the epidemic will reduce gatherings and funerals can be simplified. It is completely unnecessary to make a requirement to detain a Feng Shui master for more than 4 days after a funeral. Regarding funerals and the customs and habits of various regions, we cannot interfere with this. Detaining Feng Shui masters for more than four days after a funeral? Is this rule really in line with customs? Is this fair to a Feng Shui practitioner?

As of now, there is no legal basis for the provision of detaining Feng Shui practitioners for more than four days after a funeral. However, the local government has responded that the loss will usually take about a week. The reason why the government made this regulation is to balance the reduction of epidemic gatherings with local customs and habits. As for whether this provision is reasonable or not. It still depends on whether the local people recognize this or not!
