新闻报报看 | 自古以来，“入土为安”是华人社会根深蒂固的观念。传统丧葬讲究仪式与排场，从最早的土葬，到后来的火化入塔，形式虽有不同，却往往意味着对土地的长期占用，也让空间难以循环使用。随着环保意识逐渐抬头，一种更贴近自然的方式悄然出现。（主播：颜江瀚、黄界錤）

00:04Since ancient times, the Chinese community has believed that burial is the way to peace.
00:08After a person's death
00:10They have a deep-rooted concept and form that they should have.
00:15Traditional funerals emphasize rituals.
00:18If you have the ability, you should also talk about platoon leader.
00:21So now, what are the two choices for the Chinese community?
00:23One option is burial, and the other is cremation.
00:26So, regardless of which one, what about these two forms?
00:30All of these imply a long-term occupation of the land.
00:33Because you will also be placed in the tower after your cremation.
00:35This makes the space difficult to reuse.
00:37In this day and age, many people are talking about environmental protection.
00:41Then people began to rethink.
00:44Isn't death just a cycle of life, a return of dust to dust?
00:48Thus, a form of worship that does not adhere to fixed rules was formed.
00:52A more natural approach has quietly emerged.
00:56It means returning ashes to the earth.
01:00Only exists underground for burial.
01:03Besides the change in mindset
01:05Population aging is also one of the real challenges facing my country.
01:09With changes in population structure
01:11The number of people visiting traditional Yishan tombs is also gradually decreasing.
01:14The lifestyles and values of the younger generation are gradually changing from those of the past.
01:18Against this backdrop, environmental protection in Tibet has begun to receive more attention.
01:23Today, we present the first episode of a series on another kind of farewell.
01:26Let's follow reporters Zhong Yixuan, Ye Jiale, Liu Shengmin, and Li Yiling.
01:30The lens
01:30Let's walk into the cemetery together and see this kind of place where there are no tombstones or graves.
01:35How is vegetative burial carried out?
01:39Two completely different ways of remembering each other under the same sky.
01:42They coexist quietly
01:44On one side, rows of tombstones stood silently.
01:47Names and ancestral homes are engraved on the stone tablet.
01:50It allows a person's life to have visible traces.
01:53On the other side is a wide open green space.
01:56There were no tombstones, no walls, and no fireworks.
01:59Let life return to the earth, and keep memories in our hearts.
02:04This is the plant conservation area.
02:05The family members came here and quietly watched the wind blow across the grass.
02:09Remembering those who have left in your own way
02:17And in this tranquility
02:19Every farewell was still treated with great care.
02:22The process of burial is not complicated.
02:24The cremated ashes were ground into a fine powder.
02:27Then implanted into a pre-prepared pit in the cemetery
02:30Let life return to the land and reduce the burden on the environment.
02:34Before the ceremony begins, Dr. Li will accompany the family members to explain the procedures.
02:39We walked into the park together to say our final goodbyes.
02:42Some people place ashes, some offer flowers, and some cover them with soil.
02:46Every movement was simple, yet solemn.
02:50The ceremony for placing the deceased gentleman's ashes has concluded.
02:55And finally, we would like to invite you all again, who are already my family and friends.
03:00Calm down, close your eyes, and don't grieve for even a minute.
03:11From now on, we don't need to bring offerings or flowers.
03:16We come here with grateful and remembrance hearts to remember it together.
03:22it
03:22Let it return to nature, let its spirit live on, and let us be grateful.
03:33When the turf was laid back, everything seemed to return to normal.
03:36The longing remains in the wind, and also in people's hearts.
03:43Behind this seemingly simple farewell lies a great deal of reality.
03:48Considerations of emotions
03:49As the first cemetery in my country to promote phytorecreation, Rulai Xiao'en Cemetery...
03:54Early planning stage
03:55Tree burial and flower burial were also considered, but these types of burial methods often require...
03:59Long-term care of plants
04:01Once plants are imbued with emotional significance, when they wither or die...
04:05On the contrary, it might cause the family to experience disappointment again, so the original party ultimately chose
04:10Starting from vegetation
04:12Preserving the land's most original appearance in an untouched environment.
04:16It also aligns more closely with the environmental protection concept of returning to nature.
04:19The leaves might wither, and the flowers even more so.
04:23It will keep changing; you'll always have to go back and process it or make more.
04:29things
04:29So from an environmental perspective, it's not very environmentally friendly.
04:33If your main crop is a patch of turf, then you'll need to maintain it and plant various kinds of vegetation.
04:38ah
04:38It will be relatively easier.
04:41Beyond emotional considerations, burial practices prioritize simplicity and peace.
04:45Release life
04:46It also reduces resource consumption and makes the process closer to nature.
04:50Compared to traditional funerals that use a large number of consumables
04:53The process of vegetative burial is more streamlined, which reduces carbon emissions to some extent.
04:58However, some people question whether placing ashes in the soil would have an impact on the environment.
05:03Caused impact
05:04Even the transformation from environmental protection to Tibetan environmental protection
05:08In response, the original party stated that they would conduct soil testing regularly.
05:11Ensure that the soil environment is not affected and that the original ecology is not disturbed.
05:16Plant growth
05:17We collaborated with the art university to investigate its impact on water and soil.
05:24This is now in its second year, and so far its impact on water resources...
05:30It is absolutely not visible at present.
05:33We're thinking about what we need to add to this land.
05:38Let it turn into soil faster.
05:42As the system for cremated remains storage gradually improves, public mobility efforts are increasingly being defined.
05:47clear
05:47This method of burial is also beginning to receive more attention.
05:50Adapting to the changing times, some traditional Chinese communities in Smirvania have moved to other parts of the country.
05:54They also began to establish burial areas.
05:56This gives people another option besides traditional burial methods.
06:00At the same time, it helps alleviate the increasingly tight land resources problem.
06:04Especially now, it's very difficult to apply for land in Yishan.
06:09We bought the land but they won't let us develop it. All the money spent on the land is useless.
06:13Therefore, this concept of preserving and burying cultural relics is also a very good one.
06:17This ancient mountain, with its centuries-old history, suggests that the first generation might come to worship here.
06:20There might be a second generation.
06:22But after the third generation, we see many cemeteries, etc.
06:25Some of them are people who rarely see this, and they came to worship.
06:28Self-sufficiency may be a choice that modern people should consider.
06:34Because we know that everyone's values are different.
06:37We also have different beliefs. We believe it is a necessity of the times.
06:40We are introducing another option
06:44With the change in burial methods, many century-old mountains have been transformed.
06:47They are also facing new challenges from cloud shadows.
06:49As demand for traditional burial decreases and income sources gradually shrink...
06:53However, management and maintenance costs have not decreased.
06:56Against this backdrop, NGOs promoting plant burial believe
07:00Establishing plantation parks can not only bring new sources of income
07:04It will also help inject new vitality into Yishan.
07:07We have many Yishan mountains, and many of these Yishan mountains have been closed off.
07:11They also face the difficulties associated with those cloud shadows.
07:14We also hope to take advantage of this new opportunity
07:16This could provide Yishan with a new source of income.
07:20It can be used to beautify Yishan Mountain, or it can be used to carry on a different kind of heritage.
07:25Although Negeri Sembilan was the first state in the country to implement direct burial.
07:30However, the Selangor state government has already begun to promote related plans.
07:33Hoping to be closer to nature
07:36Rethinking the planning and use of burial spaces
07:39To make longer-term use of limited land.
07:42However, the process from conception to implementation is not simple.
07:45Whether it's the establishment of land use approval systems and management mechanisms
07:50Or is it a change in public opinion and acceptance?
07:52It still takes time to gradually work things out and build consensus.
07:56We have now preliminarily identified one or two potentially suitable locations.
08:00Besides the identification location
08:02How to identify a location
08:04This is also a challenge.
08:05We must choose a suitable location.
08:08It's not too far from the city.
08:11Or a location with convenient transportation.
08:13Next is the acceptance level of the residents near that location.
08:18This is also something we need to consider.
08:22Perhaps for many people
08:23Missing someone from the past requires a place to linger.
08:27It's a habit, and also a sense of security.
08:30However, phytoburial offers a different possibility for this custom.
08:34When tombstones are no longer the only solace
08:36Longing can perhaps continue to exist in places without form.
08:46We saw this in the previous feature.
08:48Beyond the traditional concept of burial for peace
08:51Many people have also begun to choose or start thinking about it.
08:55Planting methods that are unfavorable to the grief and do not involve building graves
08:58Let life return to the land
09:00However, when the tombstone is gone...
09:02Those families who choose this type of funeral
09:04How can they possibly commemorate their ancestors?
09:06Another Way of Saying Goodbye Tomorrow (Special Feature)
09:09Listen to how these family members remember their loved ones.
09:12We'll talk about that later.
09:23Thank you for watching
