Expert opinion on valet grave sweeping
Sacrificing substitutes should be understood.

"It is understandable to ask people to sweep, and there is no need to blame the parties and the industry." Wang Zuokun, an expert in folklore, said that filial piety was emphasized in the history of China, and Tomb-Sweeping Day should go to the grave by himself. If you are really not in the local area, you can also find someone to sacrifice for you. The traditional practice is to find more immediate relatives.

Wang believes that the times are developing and inheritance can be changed in combination with reality. The reality is that more people leave their hometown to work. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, the thought of asking someone to sweep their graves at least proves that he has not forgotten his ancestors, relatives and old friends.

Sacrifice depends on yourself.

Guan Jian, a professor of social psychology at Nankai University, said that ancestor worship is an extension of China's filial piety culture and a way for China people to maintain family values and stabilize generations. With the refinement of social division of labor, many cemetery service centers have also launched similar programmed services, including cleaning cemeteries and providing incense sticks, which is a way to meet people's diverse needs.

Guan Jian believes that in the process of worship, emotional expression elements such as kowtowing and crying cannot be realized through social commodity services, and family affection still needs to be expressed by hands.
