Burial is gradually banned in rural areas. What is the harm of hundreds of years of burial tradition?
1. Buried bodies are just Petri dishes for bacteria and viruses. Burial refers to burying a corpse in the ground and letting it degrade itself. It is a popular burial method of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Bodies buried in the soil have not been treated, and human internal organs will breed countless bacteria within a few days. These toxic or non-toxic bodies will go deep underground. If a new grave is built next to a rural field, the grain planted in this field in a short time may be at risk of getting sick, which is a serious blow to many rural areas with poor health care conditions. This caused a large-scale virus infection, and the result was unimaginable.
Second, one person and one grave is a waste of land resources. The scale of burial is much larger than cremation, and the graves are basically around 10 square meter. Rich families like to build bigger graves. They believe that this will bring blessings to the deceased and unexpected charm to their families. Feng shui is the most important thing in building tombs, and the land of Feng Shui is the most suitable place for tombs. It is difficult for the older generation to change this old concept.
Geomantic treasures are generally sunny and rainy places, so favorable geographical conditions are good places to grow food. But when the grave has been used up, where can food be grown? With the increase of population and the scarcity of land in China, burial is simply a lot of unreasonable waste.
Third, the burial ceremony is too complicated, and the manpower, financial resources and material resources are wasted. Most people have experienced burial ceremonies in rural areas, such as coffins, funerary objects and stones. Building a grave is as difficult as building a house. And the cost of burying wine is insanely high. Generally, poor families have to save enough money and borrow enough money to have a burial funeral. The most frustrating thing is that the expensive dowry is just stuffed into the coffin. Can't the living make good use of it?
