After a funeral in Tongling, a Feng Shui master was detained for more than four days. What role can this policy play?
A staff member of the Yangliu Town Government of Yinjiang County, Tongren City, Guizhou Province told the media that the previous government notice posted online was true. The notice stated that personnel in the jurisdiction are required to complete the funeral within 4 days. If the funeral is exceeded, the Feng Shui practitioner will be administratively detained and the parties concerned will be punished. Mr. Zhou, a staff member of the Yangliu Town government, told the Cover News reporter that the aforementioned staff members misunderstood the notice and focused on advocating for changes in customs without implementing detention measures. "It has never been said that people who fail to comply will be detained. This kind of behavior has no legal basis."
A picture of a WeChat group chat posted by a netizen showed that a notice clearly stated: According to the 14th of this month No. Yangliu Town People's Government's special meeting on changing customs made spiritual arrangements, deployments and decisions. 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.
Three large funerals may seem like family ties are difficult to leave behind and promote the tradition of "respecting and loving the elderly." However, if you think about it calmly, this is not the case. It not only increases the financial burden on the family, wastes the time of relatives and friends, and contributes to The trend of extravagance and waste is more likely to give the epidemic an opportunity to spread and spread. For this reason, grassroots governments should vigorously advocate new trends and advocate shortening the "funeral time."
Detaining Feng Shui masters and punishing the parties may seem to have grasped the key to "organizing a funeral" and can have immediate results; however, thinking calmly, it fails to grasp the "key point" of the problem. It shows his "anxiety" in the process of changing customs.
The reporter randomly asked several residents of Yangliu Town, and they all said they were aware of the simple funeral policy, but did not understand the punishment measures. Mr. Li said that Yangliu Town does have regulations requiring funerals to be completed within four days, but there are no specific penalties, and surrounding residents are also responding to the policy. Mr. Lu said, "It seems that there is such a regulation. I have never heard of punishment. It is just a guiding policy."
