Toll collectors have fewer transactions and fewer users say "fools"

"Island's black suit, all solemn and solemn," one-stop service, all professional. In the movie “Crazy Racer”, Xu Wei’s tomb salesman vigorously promoted the “eighteen-phase delivery” service for the sacrificial offerings of Huang Hao.

In reality, there is such a group of people willing to take a visit to the grave and provide one-stop service during the Ching Ming Holidays. Although they are usually part-time, they all claim to be professional. Buy flowers, burn incense, smash, taro, and even cry, as long as you pay, will meet the requirements, followed by photos and videos.

Prior to the Ching Ming Festival, there were several escort shops on Taobao. Many people across the country are engaged in such emerging industries, but the number is not large, only three were found in Beijing. Of the more than 10 Beijing cemeteries and cemeteries surveyed by reporters, only five have valet service.

Sacrifice industry is more than zero trading

The reporter searched for the “Gao Xiu Tomb” keyword on Taobao. There were more than 300 pieces of business information, and the price of the gratuity of the gratuity sweeper ranged from tens of yuan to a thousand yuan. The price of graven sweeps in Sichuan and Guangxi is relatively low. Beijing is mostly 500-700 yuan, Hunan has a high price of 1,490-3,000 yuan, and Tianjin is even worse. According to local media reports, cry graves veteran offer 20,000 yuan higher .

The survey found that this emerging industry “has fewer deals with fewer respondents”. As of yesterday's deadline, sellers on Taobao had zero turnover records. Only one online store in Beijing made a deal. The cemetery staff admitted that there are only a few customers each year.

Xiao Liang (a pseudonym) who swept the tomb of a Malaysian customer last year stated that the trip was very hot and actually deserted. Although there were many people who could not return home at Ching Ming Festival, there were few people willing to accept the sacrificial offerings.

Xiao Liang's valet sweeping team has a total of 3 people. He plans, another companion is responsible for the customer, and a driver.

92% of netizens opposed to the grave

Some netizens believe that valet sweeping is clearly priced on "filial piety." The netizen Duan Muyi Ming launched a poll on the Internet named "We Chance to Reject the Grave of the Grave on the Ching Ming Festival." According to the results of the poll, 92% of the respondents did not agree with the new industry of the graves of graves, and considered it as an embarrassment for the dead. Some 4% think it doesn’t matter, but they’re not going to spend money on agents. Only 4% of people agree that it is all they need.

The opposite party ancestral sweep is "fooling ghosts."

"If you can't say good things, this is not a fool." Many netizens believe that on behalf of the grave is not as good as it is. It is understandable that the relatives and friends can also understand the grave, and the market-oriented transaction is a bit overdone.

“The industry of grave-sweeping in the Ming and Qing dynasties was really ridiculous.” According to Duan Muming, a netizen who refused to cleanse the tomb of Ching Ming Festival, this behavior is just a funny performance. Although "there will be a market with demand" is the truth that the market economy will remain unchanged. But for the grief and sacrifice of the ancestors, the use of money to buy a person to grave the grave, can only make this solemn ceremony of the grave to be stained with copper odor.

The square is stronger than the person who does not go to the grave

However, it was also pointed out that although people are not required to sweep the tomb for promotion, they are stronger than those who do not go to the grave.

Those who favor the graves of graves believe that if there is no time, it is not a bad idea to ask people to grapple the graves. The netizen “Shuangzhuyuan” took a backing for the graves of the graves. He thought that the people who invited the grave were also mourned by the dead. “For those who are busy with work, or are overseas Chinese who have already emigrated, or because For some reasons there are no grave-sweeping freedoms, such as prisoners, do they even have the right to ask people to grave the grave?"

Experts say

The generation of sacrifices should be given understanding

"Teachers can understand this behavior can be understood, there is no need to accuse the client and the industry." Folklore expert Wang Zuojun introduced that in Chinese history, filial piety, the tomb sweeping on the Ching Ming Festival should be personally go. If you are really not in the local area, you can also find someone to give a sacrifice. The traditional approach is to find relatively straight relatives.

Wang Zuojun believes that the times are developing and the inheritance can be combined with reality and changed. The reality is that there are more people leaving their hometowns than they used to. When they think of the Qing Dynasty, they want to ask people to scan the grave, which at least proves that he has not forgotten his ancestors, relatives, and friends.

Take a video to the client

Carrying a large bouquet of flowers and carrying a plastic bag containing sacrificial offerings, yesterday at 15 o'clock, Serena Williams, 28, appeared in Futian Cemetery.

Serena is a graven sweeper. For this sweep, he put on a clean outfit and took a two-hour bus to his destination.

This time, the proxy charges 500 yuan for Xiaowei, including the purchase of flowers, fruits and other supplies for worship and transportation costs, which cost about 200 yuan.

According to the customer's previous tips, among the many tombstones, he quickly found the target: a piece of tombstone covered with yellow dust.

Xiao Wei pulled out a paper towel and bent down, waving his right hand slowly. The dust on the tablet faded and the inscription gradually became clear.

Holding flowers, Serena laid in front of the monument. He specifically asked the owner of the flower shop to add two calla lilies and two lilies to the yellow and white chrysanthemums. The client’s intentions meant that he would be able to reflect each detail.

After setting off the offerings such as apples, Xiao Wei stood up and put his hands on his side, his head was slightly low, staring at the tombstone, standing for a minute, and then facing the tombstone. Because the client did not ask for a chanting speech, Serena expressed the intention of the client to the tombstone.

The entire sweeping process lasted for more than ten minutes and was recorded on a mobile phone. This video will be distributed to customers as evidence of sweeping.

Add 300 yuan cry graves 10 minutes

The services provided by the graven grave sweepers generally include: sweeping tombstones, offerings, burning paper money, flower baskets, trigrams, recitations, and the process will last for 10 to 30 minutes, providing customers with photos or videos for verification. The same valet sweeping content, Beijing asking price is different, respectively, 360 yuan, 500 yuan and 700 yuan.

Mr. Liu, the owner of the customer service shop, said that last year he only had a single business. He was on behalf of a Malaysian customer grave and charged 1,000 yuan, all asking for their own prices. This year it dropped to 800 yuan, "the price is high nobody asks."

In addition to basic service items, some stores also provide additional services. For example, Shantou adds 100 yuan or more, crying graves cost 300 yuan for 10 minutes, plus an additional 25 yuan for each additional fruit and cake sacrifice, and 100 yuan for each toast. If two people are required to grave the grave, such as "couples," they can go to find a man and a woman, but the service fee of one person is added to 300 yuan.

Compared with the valet sweeping prices on the Internet, the charge for valet service at the Badaling Mausoleum is much cheaper. The price is 60 yuan, 90 yuan, 120 yuan and 200 yuan. It is understood that in 2005 the cemetery launched a valet service, only a few sporadic people at the beginning, and then the number began to increase. However, the Qingming Festival has insufficient manpower and does not accept valet service. Other days are acceptable.

- Dialogue

"Would like to bury the grave and think of their loved ones?"

Xiao Wei opened a home at Taobao to “recover the time shop” and took the grave on behalf of the Qing Ming Festival. He also received inspiration from other online stores. Because it is controversial, many people who do valet sweeps do not want to talk about this matter, but Serena feels that there is no need to cover up.

Beijing News: When you are facing a stranger's tombstone, what are you thinking?

Weiwei: Actually I didn't think anything. However, I was commissioned to do my filial duty on behalf of our clients. Therefore, I would consider the person buried under the tombstone to be my loved one, sincerely bowing to bring the customer's heart and soul.

Beijing News: If there is a customer requesting a gimmick or a crying grave, will it also be done?

Weiwei: I will tell the customer that there is no crying service, because I certainly cannot cry and I am not so professional. If the customer has to add a gimmick, I still have to overcome my own psychological barriers. In general, I will tell the customer what is good. Because it's still a bit difficult for me to say "Looking up and blasphemy parents". If you add money for the sake of making a gimmick, you will find it less worthwhile if you increase it, and you will be too commercialized.

Beijing News: The vast majority of people oppose ancestral sweeping and feel that filial piety is commercialized. What do you think?

Williams: Many things are not acceptable to everyone. My service is only for people in need. Many people really do not come back because of this filial piety. And we also have to pay time and costs. The charge should be as long as the price is not out of line.
