Tomb-Sweeping Day will be here soon. In this season of remembering ancestors and mourning, in order to carry forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, advocate civilized and safe modern ancestor worship methods, and ensure the orderly conduct of Qingming Festival sacrifice activities, the following initiatives are issued to the residents and friends of the county:
1. At present, during the epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, all residents and friends are advised not to get together, not to go door to door, not to have close contact, not to wash their hands frequently, not to wear masks, and not to carry out sweeping activities at different times and at different peaks.
Second, change ideas and advocate civilized sacrifice. Residents and friends should carry forward the fine tradition of diligence and thrift of the Chinese nation and get rid of the old customs of offering sacrifices and sweeping sacrifices. Take pride in advocating science and consciously pay tribute to civilization. We should strive to be advocates and disseminators of low-carbon civilization and practice low-carbon civilization sacrifice activities.
Third, strengthen environmental awareness and lead civilized festivals. We should consciously establish a sense of civilization, environmental protection and science, abide by social morality, express traditional memorial customs in an environmentally-friendly, low-carbon and natural way, and advocate civilized memorial activities such as flower memorial, tree planting memorial, online memorial and Weibo memorial.
Fourth, deepen scientific concepts and practice civilization and thrift. It is necessary to integrate modern science and technology into traditional customs, give full play to the advantages of timeless, safe, convenient and environmentally friendly online sacrifices, upload life stories through the Internet, and remember our ancestors on special days by lighting candles, burning incense, offering flowers and writing articles.
Fifth, advocate safety sacrifice and put an end to potential safety hazards. It is necessary to enhance safety awareness, consciously and strictly abide by fixed-point sacrifices and related fire prevention regulations, and do not use fire illegally. Do not burn paper, incense or set off firecrackers in hilltops, woodlands and cemeteries, and do not burn paper money or offer sacrifices in public places such as squares, communities, Woods and traffic intersections, so as to put an end to all kinds of unsafe hidden dangers and maintain the green ecological environment.
Friends of county residents, it is our common expectation to have a harmonious and beautiful home, and it is our common responsibility to protect the blue sky and white clouds and build a civilized county. Let's join hands, starting from you and me, vigorously advocate the new fashion of "civilized sacrifice, green and clear" in the county, change customs, protect the environment, advocate new styles, and build a civilized, harmonious, happy and beautiful home!
