April 3rd is the first day of this year's Qing Ming holiday, Ji'nan will have 19 couples to choose this day to marry or hold wedding banquets, traditional customs during the Qing Ming Festival is not suitable for marriage, the idea of them did not affect them, these 80 will be more regarded as holiday.
although it is not the day of the Qing Ming Festival, but this phenomenon, but also let the Shandong provincial ceremonial celebrations Specialized Committee propaganda minister Liu Yongbo some accident, "since the Qing Ming Festival was treated as a small golden week, this should be the first time to marry in the Qing Ming holiday." "
19 new ideas
" I think no one will choose a wedding or wedding banquet on the holiday of Qingming Festival, and the 19 couples who are married in April 3rd are basically the Post 80. " For a large city with millions of people, wedding ceremony is a very low data for a large city with millions of people, "but it is because of the lack of marriage during the selection of the Qing Dynasty," Liu Yongbo said. "It's more important to challenge the old idea."
despite some of the challenges of the tradition, the association of wedding associations said that the change of traditional ideas in Ji'nan was limited by the young people in the South who chose to marry on the day of the Qingming Festival. "From what we know at present, there are no couples ready to get married on Qingming Festival." Liu Yongbo said.

reporter survey
80 after 80 said that the Qing Ming was a holiday
Mr. Zhang had planned the Qing Ming Festival and his lover to travel, but his father asked him to return to his old home to sweep the grave. "Father believes that Tomb Sweeping Day is a time for going home to worship, and can not go out to play or entertain." Mr. Zhang said. Fortunately, his father was relatively open-minded. Last week, Mr. Zhang went home to worship his ancestors in advance, ready to travel in Qingming, and successfully resolved the controversy.
more and more Post-80 generations have abandoned the tradition of Qingming ancestor worship. "I remember that after graduation from college, I never went home to worship my ancestors. My father was doing this." Mr. Hu, a staff member of a provincial institution, is very opposed to burning paper to worship his ancestors. He said that this not only pollutes the environment, but also causes mountain fires. "
" is not a total negation. After all, Qingming Festival is a day that reminds us of our ancestors. But usually filial piety to the elderly is more important than Tomb Sweeping Day. Hu believes that Ching Ming Festival is also a holiday. Traveling, singing and dancing are also part of the festival. They do not conflict.
experts say
folk custom is not invariable
should traditional festivals adhere to stereotypes or keep pace with the times? In an interview, Professor Qin of the school of history, culture and social development of Shandong Normal University said that folklore is not invariable with the development of the times, and it is impossible for people to do it in accordance with the practices of the ancients. "
" the ancient Qingming Festival can't eat meat and so on. There are many taboos. Now young people have put some new social phenomena into the traditional festival of Qing Ming, and they do not mean they have abandoned the traditional idea. " Qin said that marriage and tradition are two different things in Qingming vacation, and personal behavior should not be criticized.
