  新華社銀川4月2日電(記者鄒欣媛、梅鵬鵬)清明將近,思念綿長。在寧夏銀川福壽園人文紀念園,張女士在工作人員的引導下,將可降解的骨灰壇莊重地安放在草坪中,親手覆土、撒花,讓親人的骨灰以另一種方式“入土為安”。

"This is my mother's wish before her death, and it is also a longer-term sustenance for me." Ms. Zhang said in a firm tone.

In this Qingming Festival ecological collective burial and social public sacrifice activity, the ashes of 6 deceased were buried in the park through collective deep burial, lawn burial and other forms.

From 2016 years to the present, Yinchuan City has held such activities for ten consecutive years, advocating a new fashion of funeral, allowing more citizens to understand land-saving ecological burials, and remembering the ancestors and expressing their sorrows in a simple and environmentally friendly way.

Land-saving ecological burial is mainly to bury ashes or remains by means of flower bed burial, lawn burial, tree burial, sea burial, deep burial, grid storage, and scattering of ashes, etc., without occupying or occupying less land, consuming less resources, and using less non-degradable materials, so that the ashes can be integrated into nature and accompanied by flowers and trees.

  近年來,寧夏持續投入資金在多家公墓陵園建設節地生態葬的安葬和紀念設施,並通過獎補政策鼓勵更多家庭參與。據介紹,2010年以來,寧夏全區共有6300多位逝者選擇節地生態葬,其中銀川市為4100多位實施生態安葬逝者家屬發放節地生態安葬獎補資金1700多萬元,節地生態安葬率達17.5%。

At the entrance of the park, an electronic screen full of grief attracts people's attention, which is the online memorial space - "The Other Side Mailbox", where the relatives of the deceased can send their heartfelt concerns to their relatives only through the WeChat platform; The "Cloud Festival Sweep" service area was opened at the same time, and citizens can offer flowers and leave messages through the online platform to achieve low-carbon festival sweeping.

"In recent years, we have tried to introduce new ecological memorial methods, such as using high temperature and high pressure technologies to condense the ashes into 'life crystals', which freeze the thoughts in square inches; Lin Yi, executive deputy general manager of Yinchuan Fushouyuan, said.

The falling flowers are the continuation of life, and the waves are the echoes of longing. "The land-saving ecological burial takes the tree as the monument, the flower as the inscription, and the water as the soul, so that life can return to nature, which allows us to see that the supreme respect for life can also be transmitted in the way of protecting nature." Li Zhigui, president of the Ningxia Funeral Association, said that the deceased may rest in peace between the green mountains and clear waters, and may the living inherit great love and move forward bravely.
