Chapter 342: Tomb Sweeping
A group of hundreds of people walked up the mountain, and the whole ancestral cemetery was in the east of the entire hillside, and the whole was purchased by the ancestor with a lot of money, which shows that the ancestor's family property at that time was very strong.
The topography of the ancestral tomb, according to the feng shui master, is the left gold box, the right jade seal, the back screen, the pattern of the dark arch yellow ~ river, near the top of the mountain is the tomb group of the ancestors, respectively, the tombs of the ancestors and the ancestors are buried.
Taizu refers to the graves of the eldest son, the third son, and the sixth son of the ancestor, and a total of four tombs form a large tomb group.
There is a clearing more than two feet wide around the tombs, and on the periphery of the clearing there are many forests such as pines and cypresses. The tomb is backed by the top of Longtou Mountain, and the river surface is sparkling in the distance.
The mountain is not big or high, and it took more than ten minutes for the group to walk to the ancestral graves, and everyone began to clean up the dry grass piles that were hidden on the graves.
"Why is the ancestral grave covered with so much dry grass?"
Liu Jingjing asked his man with some puzzlement. You must know that these graves are covered by these dead grass, and if you don't get closer, you won't be able to see what other graves are here.
"It's protecting ancestral graves. Ye Rongrong said.
"Protect the grave?" Marlene asked, puzzled.
"Isn't it now that the government ~ government is asking 'to demolish the graves and return them to forests, and flat graves to plough them'? Under the cover of these withered grasses, the ancestral graves will be discovered by the government ~ government, and the graves will not be demolished. Ye Rongrong said.
More than 10 years ago, the state vigorously advocated the system of cremation cemeteries, requiring local governments to "demolish graves and return them to forests, and flat graves to farmland", and many graves were destroyed.
As for whether the effect of "demolishing graves and returning them to forests and leveling graves to farming" has been achieved, it can only be said that the effect is extremely poor, but the impact is extremely great.
In the past, there were many graves on the mountain, which looked quite complete and neat. Now if you go to the mountains and look at it, you can find that many graves have been demolished in a mess, and there is no cleaning up, just using a big hammer to smash the graves of the dead, and some of them have smashed several graves. That's it.
There is no effect of "demolishing graves and returning them to forests and leveling graves to farming" at all.
At that time, there was a lot of commotion in various places, after all, this was the destruction of other people's ancestors' graves, in the consciousness of the Chinese people, digging people's ancestral graves, not pressing the revenge of killing their fathers, this is desperate.
Mass incidents have occurred in many places, especially local grassroots cadres, and there are not a few people whose homes have been smashed.
The key is that if you demolish someone's ancestral grave, others will not let your ancestral grave go. Just report the ancestral graves of these officials, you don't let my ancestors be at peace underground, and I also let your ancestors live unrestless on the ground, and they have to demolish their ancestral graves.
This matter is big, if you want to demolish the ancestral tomb, the people of the ancestral hall will absolutely disagree, if you dare to demolish the ancestral tomb, the people of the entire ancestral hall will not recognize you. Not only will they clear you out of the genealogy, but they will also treat you as an enemy. In the future, the people of the entire ancestral hall will not get along with you when they die of old age.
This act of "demolishing graves and returning them to forests and leveling graves for farming" has been vigorously carried out for several months, and the local governments have all extinguished their fires and dare not demolish them any more, and if they continue to demolish them, they will have to demolish their own ancestral graves.
You have to know how to demolish other people's ancestral graves. It's none of their business, the leaders don't care, give an order, and the people below have to do it obediently, hard-headed.
But when it comes to their ancestral graves. This made the local leaders also worried, this thing really can't be done, just like that, this matter will stop.
As a result, some people secretly spread the meaning of the leaders in some places, as long as it does not affect the overall environment of the mountains and forests, as long as the leaders passing by do not see it, as long as the new tomb is not built, everyone will turn a blind eye.
There is such a meaning passed down, the people below know what to do, isn't it just to prevent the leaders above from seeing it when they drive by, it's very simple, on weekdays, use grass and trees to cover up their ancestral graves, unless you get closer, otherwise you can't see the grave in the distance.
Especially when you pass by by car, you can't see any traces of these graves.
That's why, more than ten years ago, when you took the car, you would see a lot of graves when you looked at the side of the mountain, but now if you take the car again, you basically can't see a few graves.
In this way, the government's goal of "demolishing graves and returning them to forests and leveling graves for farming" has been achieved, and anyway, the leaders above cannot see the graves on the mountain, they are satisfied, and their tasks have been completed.
Leaders are very busy every day, and things are in a hurry, where can they figure out the truth of things.
This is why, a few years ago, in order to cope with the greening inspection of their own places by the upper-level leaders, some places directly arranged for people to paint green paint on the mountain wall on the side of the highway.
Some people say, what if someone reports it?
Not to mention, as long as they are not accused of corruption, the local government is really not afraid of such reports.
Why, because this is because I attach importance to the leadership skills above, and the leaders will not blame if they know it.
This is why the upper-level leaders came to inspect, and the local government departments attached great importance to it, and ushered in the send, which was very grand.
Many upper-level leaders will say, don't be so grand, it's too wasteful, and don't take such an example.
If you take this seriously, the next time the leader comes, if you don't receive him ceremoniously, the leaders will think that they don't pay attention to him, and what awaits you is sitting on a cold bench.
This is "there is no fault", things are a little too much, but in the eyes of the leader, I feel that what you have done is not wrong, and you are paying attention to him.
"Is that okay?" said Marlene, surprised.
"Of course, this is to deal with the leaders who may pass by on the road, for fear that they will see that as long as there are no instructions from above, the village and township cadres will basically turn a blind eye. Ye Rongrong explained to Ma Lin.
"Instead of getting together and talking, young women and children have to remove weeds from their ancestors' graves, young men have to loosen the graves of their ancestors, add some soil, and then smooth the graves, and the old people have to wipe down the tombstones. ”
The leader in charge of sweeping the tomb explained loudly to everyone. It's almost eleven o'clock now, and if it's noon, it's hard to sweep the grave.
"Alright, let's go over and help. Ye Rongrong said to a few people around him.
There are many people with great strength, this sentence is not empty talk, so many people helped, and soon the entire tomb group was sorted out, and everyone put the food and drink offerings brought by each family in front of the graves of the direct ancestors of each family.
Of course, the ancestors were busy with the heads of each family.
Burning paper money for the ancestors, paying tribute, incense, and being busy for more than ten minutes, with the sound of firecrackers, sweeping the tomb and worshiping the ancestors was finished, and everyone began to go down the mountain. (To be continued.) )
