In Rural Areas Of Ethical Grounds From Burial To Cremation

Death is the ultimate of all the life, and funeral arrangements is the specific form for the end. In modern society, Rural Funeral has achieved the transformation from burial to cremation. Compared with the previous burial, Cremation has many advantages. For example, the land resource has the effective used and the cremation protected the agricultural land, and the cremation also makes effective use of forest resources, reducing deforestation disorder phenomenon. The cremation made the spread of some infectious diseases under control. Cremated remains the body to prevent the spread of the virus in the ground, and Prevent the groundwater from pollution of virus. In short, there are many practical and long-term policy considerations, so the state promotion the cremation, it is necessary to promote the cremation to the whole society.However, we must see that there are still many obstacles to the implementation of cremation. Apart from its own system is not complete and not perfect, the people's cultural traditions, psychological structure, ethics and many other factors also influence the cremation. In our countryside, the burial customs are still dominant; it takes a very long time to recognition of the cremation. In this paper, four aspects of this concept were studied and analyzed:First, Burial is the worship of human society, the product of the gods of early education, and later turned to the worship of human beings on land, it is the result of historical evolution of humanism; Second, the early Confucian tradition reveals the revelation of death, reflecting a kind of ethic of filial piety, reverence for his ancestors in the funeral ceremony is that people desire to transcend the death of cultural expression; Third, the burial system in the history of evolution, brought many negative social impacts:Too much emphasis on external form, blind comparisons, superstition prevails, all the ugly phenomenon of frequent, etc. These have been inconsistent with the ethical spirit of the traditional culture of filial piety, but also contrary to the harmonious progress of modern society. Therefore, we must reform the system of burial, on the one hand, we must start with the formulation of specific policies to promote cremation, so that the cremation can generally carried out in various places, On the other hand, we have to change people's concept through persuasion and education, so that we can made the farmers eliminate the doubts of the cremation, and actively cooperate with the implementation of cremation. Fourth, the era burial embodies the world view of traditional society, ethics, and religion. The Marxist philosophy has achieved from traditional metaphysics to the philosophical history of practice. It criticized the metaphysical world view and the religion, It reveals that "the soul is an illusion of the sun," "Religion is opium of the people," the classic expositions made us can criticize the traditional philosophy and criticize the feudal habits has a basis theory.
