“周口平坟”引发了广泛的舆论关注,也引发我们对农村殡葬改革的深刻反思:面对汉族“入土为安”的民族习俗,立法该秉持怎样的态度?各民族丧葬习俗是否应当受到平等尊重?传统土葬与当下的火葬到底哪个更节约土地?我们认为,未来的殡葬立法应当秉持“法律与习俗和谐共存”的立法理念,以实现“尊重民俗与节约土地”的双赢。
<<“Tomb-flattening of Zhoukou” affair triggered widespread social attention,and also caused profound reflection on reform of funeral and interment in the countryside. In face of the “Being buried is an auspicious omen” national customs in Han nationality,what attitude should legislation adhere to?Whether or not does the constitutional equality include the equal respect for all kinds of ethnic customs?Whether or not is the funeral legislative value judgment accurate to the traditional burial and cremation?In my opinion,the game result between the funeral legislation and the funeral customs should achieve the level of harmony and balance,that is,trying our best to find a balance between the legislation and the customs in pursuit of the “economizing land and respecting for the folkways” win-win goal!.
