Sacrifice sweeping: advocate civilized sacrifice sweeping and pay attention to fire safety.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is mourning, and it’s time to visit the grave and worship the ancestors again in a year. In recent years, with the continuous upgrading of people’s concepts, the concept of civilized sacrifice has become more and more popular.
According to media reports, this year’s Qingming Festival, Beijing, Shenyang, Xi ‘an, Hefei and other places strongly advocated civilized sacrifices. For example, online memorial halls are set up in major cemeteries in Beijing to facilitate virtual sweeping and provide free flowers for the sweepers; For another example, the funeral home in Shenyang closed the incinerator before Qingming this year, and prepared a large number of flowers for the citizens who came to offer sacrifices to burn paper for free.
The fire safety during Tomb-Sweeping Day is also worthy of attention. During the holiday period, places for grave-sweeping and ancestor worship, cultural relics and ancient buildings, tourist attractions and other places are crowded with people, and there are frequent activities of burning incense, burning paper, lighting wax and setting off firecrackers. In addition, there are many windy days in spring, which can easily lead to fire accidents. The Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security recently reminded you not to light candles, burn incense, burn paper and set off firecrackers in windy days. If you find a fire, please call "119" in time.
In addition, on the 3rd, at the press conference of China Meteorological Bureau, Li Mingmei, deputy director of the Emergency Disaster Reduction and Public Service Department of China Meteorological Bureau, also suggested that during the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, some areas in central Hebei, central Shanxi, southwestern Gansu, southern Sichuan, northern Yunnan and other places had higher forest fire risk levels, while during the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, it was the peak period of sweeping and outing activities, and the forest fire prevention situation was grim, so it was necessary to pay attention to the safety of using fire in the wild and strengthen the management of fire sources.

What are the precautions for traveling? A few days ago, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism released the Spring Holiday Travel Guide for 2018.
The Guide proposes that tourists should abide by local laws and regulations, social public order and social morality, respect local customs, cultural traditions and religious beliefs, and try not to affect the normal life of local people. Take good care of local cultural relics, do not scribble on buildings, and resolutely resist all kinds of uncivilized tourism behaviors.
In addition, the Guide also mentioned that tourists need to consult on related matters during their journey, complain about tourism rights protection, and call the "12301" tourist hotline for help in case of tourism emergency. When infringement is suspected, we should rely on all kinds of appeal channels to defend our rights reasonably and legally, and should not assert our rights and interests without restrictions, and take excessive rights protection actions. If it is inconvenient to defend our rights during the trip, we can keep relevant evidence and seek solutions after returning.
