A place in Guizhou issued a notice saying that a Feng Shui practitioner was detained for more than four days after the funeral. What is the real situation?

A region in Guizhou issued a notice stating that Feng Shui practitioners should be detained for more than four days after a funeral. The staff said this was to promote the change of customs.

This notice issued by Guizhou has confused netizens. They wonder what the relevant local authorities based this notice on? Because no matter how you look at it, this notice seems a bit hegemonic. Epidemic prevention work is important, but changing customs is also important. People all have feelings. Can we use some warm methods to make people willing to maintain and implement them?

A region in Guizhou issued a notice stating that a Feng Shui master would be detained for more than four days after the funeral.

Some netizens posted a video online, which showed that a township in Tongren, Guizhou Province issued a notice stating that all personnel under the jurisdiction of the township, including cadres, must follow new funeral arrangements. The funeral must be completed within 4 days. If it cannot be completed, the local Feng Shui master will be detained.

And the villagers who handle funerals will also be punished. After this notice was posted online, it attracted enthusiastic attention from netizens.

Staff responded.

For this matter, local staff said that according to local customs, it usually takes about a week to hold a funeral. Due to the local special meeting on changing customs.

Coupled with the recent epidemic, such a notice was made. The main purpose is two-fold. One is also for the consideration of the epidemic, and the other is to carry out the work of changing customs. This explanation from the staff seemed very reasonable, but it always felt like something was missing. If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is a lack of human touch.

What is the real situation?

The staff also affirmed the authenticity of this matter, saying that it is true. The common people are also reasonable. As a power agency, I think there is no need to use power to suppress people at every turn. They are not enemies and must adopt tough and arrogant attitudes and measures to carry out their work.
