——The most shining coordinates guide the new fashion of civilization festival sweeping
Times change, customs change. According to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, during the Qingming Festival, various districts in Tianjin carried out various forms of civilization sacrifice and sweeping activities, sending condolences online and offline, and transmitting nostalgia through iterative inheritance.
What changes is the form, and what does not change is the feeling of longing. Centralized sacrifice sweeping and civilized online sacrifice sweeping activities have replaced the traditional ritual sweeping customs.
In Tianjin, the civilization sacrifice sweep has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in 2020, Tianjin held a "tribute • 2020 a bouquet of flowers to honor the hero" in 10 martyrs' cemeteries to pay tribute to the sweeping ceremony; in 2021, held the "guardian • 2021 Qingming Sacrifice Heroic Martyrs" mass sacrifice sweeping activities; in 2022, the centralized sacrifice sweep, online civilization sacrifice sweeping activities are continuing to be carried out, and the form of remembrance of the deceased has changed with the development of the times, forming a new trend of civilized sacrifice sweeping.
The sacrifice of heroes and martyrs in the Qingming Dynasty is our admiration and watch for the spirit of the martyrs, and it is our common expression of emotion. An Huimin of the Tianjin Martyrs' Cemetery Education Department introduced: "This year, we adhere to the priority of epidemic prevention, actively promote the online sacrifice of heroic martyrs, and guide people from all walks of life and their families to participate in the '2022 • Endeavor • Online Sacrifice of Heroic Martyrs' theme sweeping activities by logging on to the official website of Tianjin Martyrs Cemetery, so that citizens can pay homage to their relatives and commemorate the heroes and martyrs without leaving their homes." It is understood that in the past three years, the city's martyrs' memorial facilities have organized more than 2,600 sacrifice and sweeping activities, received more than 350,000 people to perform mass sacrifices, and more than 121,000 people participated in online sacrifice sweeps.
In order to vigorously carry forward the spirit of heroic martyrs, under the premise of making overall plans for epidemic prevention and control, Tianjin has renovated 7 martyrs' cemeteries, repaired 354 martyrs' tombs, relocated 55 martyrs' tombs, and renovated 24 sites in accordance with the principle of "relocating and relocating and centralizing management". At present, the overall appearance of the city's 1142 heroes and martyrs below the county level has been fundamentally improved, the red education function of heroes and martyrs memorial facilities has been further improved, and the social atmosphere of advocating heroes, learning from heroes and defending heroes has become increasingly strong.
"All projects are expected to be completed in May, the next step, we will work with relevant departments to carry out acceptance of the repair project of martyrs' memorial facilities below the county level, guide all districts to do a good job in inspection and cleaning, maintenance of sacrifice sweeps, collection of historical materials and search for relatives of martyrs, etc., at the same time, continue to promote the 'Internet + martyrs' memorial facilities', the martyrs' memorial and the development of the 'cloud' synchronous extension, give full play to the educational leading role of red resources." Kong Xiangyong, director of the Commendation Memorial Division of the Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau, said.
With remembrance, we pay the highest respect and deep remembrance to the "most shining coordinates". Every martyr's tomb, every heroic story, and every battle site guides young people in the new era to inherit the red gene, continue the red blood, remember the heroes, and constantly draw the strength of struggle from the heroic deeds, so that the flame of the revolution can be passed on from generation to generation.
