The vegetation is spreading, spring mountains are in sight, and it’s the Qingming Festival again. This year's Qingming Festival coincides with a critical period when the whole country is united to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic. It is also a particularly dangerous period for forest protection and fire prevention. In order to effectively carry out the Qingming Festival sweeping activities under the epidemic prevention and control situation and create a good atmosphere for civilized sacrifices, Fanggang Town vigorously advocates "civilized sacrifices and online sacrifices" and carries out a variety of low-carbon and environmentally friendly activities to commemorate the ancestors, express grieves, and celebrate a clean and cheerful Qingming Festival.
Innovative publicity through multiple channels, the new Qingming trend has entered the hearts of the people.
In order to promote a new trend of civilization and establish a new trend of civilized sacrifices, the town has recently called on residents not to set off firecrackers, burn incense and paper during Qingming sacrifices to avoid fires by issuing the "Civilized Sacrifice, Online Sacrifice" Initiative, publishing on online platforms, making posters and display boards, and playing on LED screens. It is advocated to conduct "cloud sacrifices" through online sacrifices (log in to the "Chinese Civilization Network" to participate in online memorials to heroes and martyrs) and family mourning (by establishing a WeChat group for relatives: micro videos, telling ancestor stories, and making memory cards). So far, more than 500 copies of the town's initiative have been distributed, more than a thousand times forwarded on the Internet platform, and more than 300 responders have signed the initiative poster.

Shen finally recalls the martyrs and pays tribute online to express his condolences.
In order to protect the life safety and health of residents and reduce people gathering outside, the town organized an online commemoration event for heroes and martyrs. Under the guidance of the town's New Era Civilization Practice Volunteers, primary and secondary school students, youth, and party members and cadres in the area logged into the "China Heroes Network" website to remember the martyrs and pay tribute to the heroes by viewing the deeds of the heroes, sweeping tombs at the online cemetery, laying flowers for the heroes, writing testimonials, and other activities. Driven by the call of volunteers, more than 500 people from the town participated in the operation. At the same time, volunteers call on everyone to build tombs for their deceased ancestors on the platform through the "China Qingming Network", and to offer incense, flowers, and candles online… You can also remember your ancestors and express filial piety.

Hand-gifted flowers leave lingering fragrance, green, clear and beautiful home.
During this special Qingming period, while advocating online sacrifices, the town also vigorously carried out the "Civilized Sacrifice, Green Qingming" activities in response to the phenomenon of a small number of people going up the mountain to offer sacrifices and sweep tombs.

On the occasion of the Tomb-Sweeping Day, more than 20 volunteers from the town's civilized practice volunteers, volunteers from the Youth League committee, and party member service team of the power supply company set up volunteer service desks at the Bataishan Cemetery in Gaohuang Village and the forest fire prevention checkpoints in each village. They distributed flowers for free and replaced the plastic flowers carried by worshippers. They issued a "green sacrifice" initiative to the residents, and those who responded to the initiative signed the initiative posters. At the same time, the town has intensified forest fire prevention and inspections, and encouraged residents to break old habits such as burning and throwing paper money, establish environmental awareness, and perform civilized sacrifices to make our sky bluer, mountains greener, water clearer, and Qingming Festival more civilized.
