Some people bought cemeteries when they were alive. Is this right?
According to the old tradition, when people reach the age of 60, children and future generations will prepare coffins for the elderly. When the old man was alive, he painted it once a year until his death. Some coffins can even be painted and carved with longevity characters! The emperor Lao Tzu is even more so. Most emperors began to build "tombs" when they were alive, and some of them were repaired until they died. It can be seen that China people used to have such customs and habits. Others are also out of economic considerations.
My old mother bought a 2-square-meter cemetery on 20 14, with a red marble base and a black marble tombstone. Price at that time: 50,000 yuan. In 20 19, the price of the cemetery with the same specification has risen to150,000 yuan. So buying early is economical and cost-effective.
Of course, now the state advocates simple funeral and environmental protection. The dead can't compete with the living. Everyone supports the country and calls on many old people to decide to be buried in trees after death, and to make some contributions to the country after being buried at sea.
One of the husband and wife left first, and bought a cemetery next to the one who left first. A hundred years later, they will be buried together in the tomb of husband and wife, which means that husband and wife love each other until death do us part. This is of course positive energy. But also convenient for future generations to sweep graves.
Many years ago, people with business sense did not speculate on the real estate where the living lived, but instead bought the graves of the dead and made a windfall. Later, the civil affairs department became alert and issued a document asking all graves to buy death certificates to stop this unhealthy trend of making money by the dead.
Some people still have some spare money in their hands, so they bought a cemetery with their living parents or their own mouths, saving a lot of money for their children and letting themselves know in advance that they will be buried here in a hundred years. This is what the book says. After death, they will have their own home and hiding place. This is also a kind of income and investment that only earns money before death. There is no right or wrong in doing so.
With the development of the times, people in the future are indifferent to life and death, and indifferent to family ties. Will there be funerals, tombs and caves in a few years? …
People arrange their affairs while they are alive, which is indeed a traditional concept, because our ancestors believed that burial was safe; Since people can't live forever, they have all kinds of delusions about the situation after death. For example, good geomantic omen in a cemetery will bring benefits to future generations, so it is very common to choose a cemetery when you are alive when the material conditions are getting better and better. I visited the Ming Tombs in Beijing. These tombs were built almost as soon as the emperor ascended the throne. The emperor enjoys all the splendor on earth, just thinking that he can't lose his life when he enters the underground palace after death. In fact, this practice of choosing a cemetery while alive is mostly based on superstition. How many gentlemen who know Yin and Yang have seen Feng Shui when the emperor chose the cemetery? The cemetery they choose should be more beneficial to future generations than the average person, right? What about the real situation? With the replacement and disappearance of dynasties, none of their descendants lived a life of extreme power. ...
Have feudal thoughts and family life. If your family life is happy and your children and grandchildren are full, you don't need to worry about these things yourself. On the contrary, some families, regardless of the elderly, have not fulfilled their filial piety. What will the elderly think? Therefore, whether the old man bought a cemetery alive or not is not up to us, but depends on his family situation.
The cemetery is rising every year, so it is cheaper to buy it early. You can buy it when you are old, but it is suitable when you are young. Because the cemetery has to be bought again every 20 years, buying it many times is too small and not suitable.
