With the continuous growth of China's population and the strengthening of rural construction, a widely ignored but increasingly serious problem has emerged - a large number of scattered small graves in rural areas, commonly known as "day graves", have become the three major problems of land occupation, environmental pollution and geological disasters. Due to the long-term lack of effective management, these graves are scattered in farmland, hillsides and other places, which not only seriously occupy the precious land resources in rural areas, but also have a great impact on the ecological environment of rural areas and the daily lives of residents.
Sun graves, specifically, refer to those small areas of graves scattered on farmland and hillsides, they are scattered and numerous, and the area varies in size. With the continuous growth of the population, the number of these daily graves has shown a first-class increase, which has brought great pressure to the environmental order and land use of the countryside. In one county, for example, about 200,000 daily graves were discovered during a cemetery renovation process, which is a shocking number and highlights the seriousness of the problem of rural cemeteries. The problems posed by the sun grave should not be underestimated. First of all, a large number of graves occupy land used for agricultural production, reducing the area of arable land in rural areas, and affecting rural food production and farmers' incomes. Second, because these graves have been unmanaged for a long time, they are often overgrown with weeds and have poor drainage systems, which have become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and seriously threaten the health of villagers. What's more, these scattered graves may also cause geological disasters, such as landslides and ground subsidence, endangering the safety of people's lives and property.
In the face of this series of problems, the state has launched a rural cemetery rectification policy, which aims to improve the appearance and ecological environment of villages through the rational allocation of land resources, and at the same time eliminate the hidden dangers of geological disasters and ensure the safety of the people. The core measures of the policy include the relocation of scattered daily graves, the construction of standardized cemeteries, the promotion of environmentally friendly and land-saving green burial methods, and the encouragement of investment in the development of the cemetery industry. The goal of these measures is to guide the management of rural cemeteries to develop in the direction of modernization and standardization, and ultimately to achieve efficient use of land resources and fundamental improvement of the rural environment. However, the implementation of this policy has not been without its challenges. Many farmers are resistant to changing traditional burial habits, and their understanding and acceptance of the policy is not high. In addition, in the process of formulating and implementing policies, the actual conditions in rural areas and the traditional cultural sentiments of farmers have not been fully taken into account, resulting in many obstacles and challenges in the implementation process.
In order to properly resolve these contradictions and problems, it is necessary to take more meticulous and humane measures. The key to solving this problem is to strengthen the publicity and education of the rectification policy of rural cemeteries and improve the awareness and acceptance of farmers. At the same time, it is necessary to treat the cemetery differently according to the actual situation, and prioritize the remediation of graveyards with serious environmental and safety problems, rather than adopting an overly simplistic and crude approach. On the basis of respecting and protecting traditional culture, we will actively explore ways to protect and rationally use Japanese tombs, and retain some ancient tombs with historical and cultural value.
Appropriate economic compensation and policy incentives are also effective means to alleviate the pressure on farmers and promote policy acceptance and implementation. The renovation of rural cemeteries is a complex and arduous task, which not only involves the effective use of land resources, environmental protection and the elimination of potential safety hazards, but also involves the change of farmers' traditional cultural sentiments and living habits. This requires us to be more open and inclusive, deeply study and understand the actual needs and psychological state of farmers, and find a way to promote rural development and respect and protect traditional culture. Through the joint efforts of the society, society and farmers, we have reason to believe that the renovation of rural cemeteries can achieve the expected results and contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas and the happy life of farmers.
