Take an inventory of the days and customs of memory abroad

the festival of qingqing is the traditional holiday of chinese sacrifice and mourning.

are there public holidays abroad to remember the dead? how did they do it? what civilized and environmentally friendly ways to sacrifice?

korea: cold food — cold food, grave-scaved burials, etc.

natural burials are increasingly popular

in our neighbour korea, where there are similar festivals — cold meals.

since korea has been in the chinese cultural circle since ancient times, this festival is also coming from china.

what are the customs of koreans on this holiday? zhang yan, a correspondent of china radio international in korea, introduced the cold season, which, as literally stated, was the day when only cold food would be eaten.

the festival is the 105th day of winter and usually coincides with the festival on and around 5th of april.

as the tempo of modern social life accelerated, the holiday atmosphere of the modern korean cold food season gradually faded, but the traditional custom of grafts was retained.

in terms of diet, koreans prepare cold foods, such as soybean sprouts and cold noodles, as food for the day well in advance the day before the festival.

in addition, as the weather warms, the field begins to grow full of acousin, and the acoustic pastries and rice are an indispensable food for the cold season.

however, as the times have evolved, the habit of eating cold is no longer being strictly observed as before.

as the cremation becomes more common, so too are the ways and facilities of natural burials, such as urn and burials, which are shifting from serving the dead to caring for the living.

at the moment, the café, the library-style bong an hall is in korea.

with a book describing the life of the deceased, each of them was provided with two book boxes, one of urn and the other of relics.

the relics contained photographs of the deceased, their belongings, and the writings that were left behind.

families can honour their memory in a warmer and more silent environment.

in addition, natural ways of burial, such as burials of trees, flowers and rocks, are now more and more popular with koreans.

according to a 2014 survey by the koly university ' s research team in production, koreans prefer burial in the form of burial in a tree, followed by the storage of ashes in the zhuang hall.

natural burial facilities in korea have also increased from 37 in 2011 to 106 at present.

russia: the memory of those who died on a number of days, such as the ancient offerings of mourning and the commemoration of the day of the dead, has been described by the russian observer, zhang sun-chong, of the global chinese-language broadcasting network.

in russia, there are so many festivals like the chinese festival of ching minh to commemorate the dead, such as the day of remembrance, the day of remembrance of the dead, easter, etc.

such a high number of festivals is due to the fact that most of russia ' s festivals have their origins in ancient rituals.

on the occasion of russian folk mourning, for example, every year on june 24th, the people not only go to the cemetery, but even excite their ancestors by carnival.

as a symbol of the russian nation — the white sorghum tree — it is in the eyes of the russians a symbol of life that will never be depleted.

on the day of the festivities, the christians worship with their twigs and the people look in the forestTwo of the nearest white herb trees are used for rituals, and in some cases there is the custom of decorating a small white herb with a wreath and a ribbon, or making a wreath with a white sap branch, which is then thrown into the lake with the offering.

Light up the bonfire, burn the old clothes and pray for good.

On 17 April 2018, Russia's coming Day of Remembrance.

The Russian Orthodox Church, which is the source of ancient Greek ideas, sets the holiday date on the Tuesday of the second week after Easter each year.

Whether the name or date of the festival is well thought out, the idea is rooted in the ancient Greek idea of death and resurrection, that as long as people are remembered and commemorated, the man who died will still exist.

People should not be saddened by the loss of their loved ones, but by their resting in another world.

On the day of the commemoration of the Day of the Dead, and three weeks before Easter, the Russians would raise their families and go to the graveyard.

According to traditional practice, eggs, sweet cream cakes, pies, fruit pickles, etc., which are coloured in front of the grave, are required to be made available, and to plant grass around the graveyard.

At the end of the ceremony, the whole family would have a simple meal in front of the grave, and everyone would have to drink a glass of vodka, but not to touch the glass or speak.

Pious Orthodox believers would go to the church before going to the cemetery and light candles for the dead, and then collect holy water for the cemetery.

Australia: As many of Australia's “older's clubs” are opened on sundown to collectively mourn the loss of their lives

, many of Australia's cemeteryyards are in residential areas, where they can be ceremonial, so there is no special day for the memory of those who died, like the festival of Ching Myung, where family members are ready to do the rituals, in a simpler form, and with flowers.

Australia ' s memory of a particular population group is almost daily.

The observer for Australia for the Global Chinese Broadcasting Network, Hu Fong, described the presence of veterans' clubs in many parts of Australia.

Although known as the Veterans' Club, it is in practice a comprehensive community cultural activity centre for the local community ' s residents, including meals, gatherings, recreational activities, etc.

As a result of the establishment of special cafeterias in a number of veterans ' clubs, these clubs would become a popular place for family members from nearby communities to gather and eat.

In the evenings of each day, it would be surprising to see the first entry into this type of veterans' club.

In the club's cafeteria, hundreds of people with forks, dishes and one second waiting in line for beaks and prawns all of a sudden bowing their heads and mourning in the sound of a moot, allowing the sushi to turn around from the turnover belt.

It is the tradition of many veterans' clubs, guided by radio at sunset, and all catering and entertainment activities are suspended throughout the veterans' clubs, and all those present need to respect this tradition and collectively mourn the dead.

After a minute or two, the silence and the re-emergence of the scene should be at dinner in the cafeteria and at singing in the Karaoke region.

While it appears that this mourning activity is incompatible with the entertainment activities at the veterans' club, which is already in a commercial atmosphere, since it is tradition, all those present will respect this silence
