Then, let's analyze the new fashion of village-level funeral for everyone. Welcome to read and browse.
Foreword:
Jinan has been influenced by Confucian tradition since ancient times, and funeral customs have been widely valued and followed. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, people attached great importance to funeral etiquette, which was cumbersome and extravagant, with strong feudal superstition. Customs go hand in hand, and whether the funeral is grand or not is regarded as a measure of filial piety for the next generation. With the development of the times, as one of the earliest cremation areas in eastern Jinan, the funeral customs in Liu Zhiyuan Village have undergone positive changes. It provides many beneficial inspirations for advocating new funeral customs and promoting the further integration of funeral reform and community work.
First, the funeral customs in Liu Zhiyuan Village follow.
Liu Zhiyuan Village is located in the north of Shi Jing East Road 10 km, with Fenghuang Road and Fengshan Road passing through the village and century avenue in the north. The village covers an area of 43 12 mu, with villagers 1205 and members of village collective organizations of 5028. Many years ago, as a village that bravely accepted the funeral home, it had a strong impact on its traditional funeral customs.
1, Brief Introduction of Traditional Funeral Customs in Liu Zhiyuan Village
The burial custom is wooden coffin burial, and the main procedures of funeral ceremony are small burial, mourning, mourning, big mourning, your Lord, crane opening, sacrifice, burial, burial, seven-day sacrifice and avoiding the sun. The funeral schedule is as short as three or five days, which is very expensive. When the average person is over 50 years old, the younger generation begins to make shrouds and coffins for the elderly. Coffin of life? 、? Happy coffin), repairing graves and preparing for funerals are filial piety, which shows the importance attached to traditional funeral culture. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), although the funeral custom of wooden coffin burial was still followed, the complicated and superstitious funeral ceremony was gradually simplified. With the development of the times, local residents have gradually abandoned this complicated and superstitious practice, which wastes both people and money. Out of consideration for family members' emotions, they usually choose to bury the deceased as soon as possible and let the deceased? Rest in peace? .
2. Carrying out cremation is a historical node of the transformation from traditional funeral custom to modern funeral custom.
In 1960s, crematoriums were built in Jinan, and cremation was gradually popularized. In the late 1970s, Licheng Crematorium (now Lianhuashan Funeral Home in Jinan) settled in the south of Liu Zhiyuan Village. Why? Unique? The traditional funeral custom in Liu Zhiyuan Village has undergone a strong change. First, the procedures are simplified; Second, the time is shortened to two or three days; Third, burial was changed to cremation. After death, family members send obituaries or kowtow to relatives and friends to express their condolences. Family members wear black gauze, mourners wear small white paper flowers on their chests, lay wreaths and hang elegiac couplets. Generally, the body is kept for three days. After the farewell ceremony, the deceased is transported to the crematorium for cremation. According to the family situation of the deceased, if there are elderly people in the deceased's family, a farewell ceremony will be held in the morning, otherwise it will be held in the afternoon. After cremation, the urn is buried in the village cemetery or family woodland.
3. The funeral custom of Liu Zhiyuan Village under the transformation of the old village.
At present, Liu Zhiyuan village is in the historical moment of reform and development, and the transformation of the old village follows the trend. The leaders of the village committee are working hard for the development of Liu Zhiyuan. Influenced by the demolition factors, the funeral custom has undergone a qualitative change. In the past, the deceased had to stay at home for two or three days and be sent to funeral home cremation after the funeral ceremony. Now because of the demolition problem, residents generally rent houses and are scattered in the center. The places where the deceased died were basically in hospitals, which were limited by the venue. So if there are dead people in the current residents' homes, they are basically taken directly to the funeral home. After two days of freezing, a farewell ceremony will be held in the funeral home on the third day. It can be seen that the variable factors change with the changes of villagers' living environment and ideology, while the constant factors are only the most traditional three days.
When talking about advocating new funeral customs and funeral reform, retired deputy secretary Li Xuezong and director Zhang Wensheng recalled their ups and downs in promoting funeral reform, and put forward their hopes and ideas on funeral culture. The most talked about is: propaganda, adapting to local conditions, letting nature take its course, trusting the wisdom of the masses and inheriting traditional culture.
Second, we found the funeral reform in Liu Zhiyuan from the second and third incidents.
The development of history is inseparable from the wisdom of working people, and the process of funeral reform in Liu Zhiyuan Village is also ups and downs. It is the decision of the government and the need of development that the funeral home is located in Liu Zhiyuan Village, which is difficult for the villagers to accept at the moment. At that time, a group of respected villagers, such as Qi, the village secretary, and Yang Xueliang, the village director, held the banner of funeral reform and set up the Red and White Council. Under the resistance and pressure, the process of funeral reform in Liu Zhiyuan Village began. The first person to be cremated was Duan Yubao. At that time, his family had been secretly buried, and the secretary and director had also experienced a lot of trouble. Inhumane? The pressure of doing family work, with individuals? Inhumane? Maintained the biggest funeral reform? Humane? To ensure the results of the reform. Furthermore, after Jinan implemented the funeral reform policy in the late 1960s, Liu Zhiyuan actively responded to the government's call and implemented the funeral reform management measures, which greatly changed the old customs and abolished feudal superstitions. However, it is inevitable that the policy will not listen. For the poor family? Face? When the old man died. Work hard? Do some? Punch a swollen face and pretend to be fat? Things. Privately follow the old custom of binding paper men, paper horses and gold trees. After learning the news, the Red and White Council immediately educated the families of the deceased and resolutely did not violate the rules. The families of the deceased said that things could not be returned. The secretary and director rushed to the store and returned the paper after being moved, saving a lot of money for bereaved families. He also took this opportunity to tell the villagers the advantages of the new policy and the disadvantages of the old customs. In the constant running-in, the villagers in Liu Zhiyuan Village gradually accepted the new policy and changed the old into the new.
It is not difficult to see the importance of highly respected people in a community. They are also promoters of reform, right? Answer every phone call? Ability; More importantly, a good atmosphere of publicity and guidance. People's traditional ideas can be changed in the public opinion environment. The villagers are simple and unwilling to change the funeral customs left by their ancestors. They need to be guided step by step to accept this change. Once they understand the benefits of reform, they will definitely support it.
Three. Feasible suggestions on implementing funeral reform scheme
First, the communication of funeral policy is carried out at different levels. First of all, it was accepted by the members of the red and white Council of villages and houses. Social workers learned that there will be a special red and white Council in the village, which is an organization composed of non-governmental organizations and serves the residents free of charge. The leaders of the Red and White Clubs, who specialize in helping residents' families to undertake wedding and funeral ceremonies, are generally respected elders in the village and are called the cabinet at the funeral. The bereaved family will handle the funeral at home according to his instructions and obey his arrangements. Therefore, it is also necessary to establish and manage red and white councils in every village and street. The implementation of the new funeral reform policy was first carried out by the Red and White Council, and then conveyed to residents through such residents' organizations. With this good buffer, it is very natural for residents to accept and implement policies. Most importantly, the docking between the Red and White Council and the funeral parlour can effectively block the unfair competition of some illegal funeral intermediaries and play a powerful role in regulating the funeral market.
Second, policy formulation is in line with regional characteristics, and the reform plan is tailored to local conditions.
Funeral customs are different, so the reform should adapt to different customs in different regions, adjust measures to local conditions, and let local residents carry out it step by step in an acceptable way. When communicating with members of the Red and White Council of Liu Zhiyuan Village Neighborhood Committee, I mentioned the demand for funeral services in a village that is about to be rebuilt, such as Liu Zhiyuan Village. First of all, due to the implementation of the village to live, residents have changed from the previous single-family bungalow to a one-story building, and the change of living space has affected the funeral environment. Most residents want to handle funerals at home without enough space. Therefore, a public mourning hall or service department can be built in the funeral home or in the newly-built community by the funeral home to provide funeral venues and related services for families in need. In addition, in the choice of cemetery and farewell mode, the reform plan for urban residents and rural areas should be different.
Third, advocate green funeral, with the help of funeral social worker platform? Life education? Change the traditional concept of funeral. It is the goal of funeral reform to let the masses gradually get rid of all superstitious and extravagant funeral customs and replace them with scientific and frugal funeral methods and mourning forms. We should strengthen the work of funeral social workers by practicing socialist core values. Life education? As a carrier, execute? Hospice care? 、? Thanksgiving education? 、? Green funeral? 、? Internet plus life education? Multi-faceted system guidance. Jane. Filial piety? Culture gradually takes root in people's hearts and is advocated? Thick support and thin burial? So as to realize the change of public funeral concept.
Liu Zhiyuan Village is one of the millions of villages in China, and it is also the epitome of the funeral reform process. It reflects that the funeral reform is a social change to change social customs, and its policy is to resolutely rely on the masses, get rid of old customs and build socialist spiritual civilization. For a long time, among the people's livelihood issues concerned by the masses, the development of funeral and interment has been controversial and the condemnation is getting louder and louder. Funeral reform? Change? Success can only be achieved in the hearts of the people. Reform is painful and may touch the interests of some people. If the reform is to achieve results, it is necessary to have the determination of a strong man to break his arm. We must adhere to the basic principles of people-oriented and scientific development, and adhere to the purpose of solving problems for the people and serving the people. At the same time, we should also give consideration to service innovation, management innovation and social innovation, combine deepening funeral reform with safeguarding people's basic funeral rights and interests, realize the public welfare of basic funeral services, and combine with people's needs to realize the marketization of personalized funeral services, safeguard people's basic needs and meet people's growing demand for funeral services.
