Cemetery is the ultimate destination of people, which can reflect the development of social environment, funeral culture and garden art. In a cemetery, a park is called a cemetery. In recent ten years, with the acceleration of urbanization and the serious aging of population, cemeteries have developed rapidly. In order to cater to the public psychology, most cemeteries are built in areas with good urban scenery.
Most cemeteries are located on hillsides near settlements. Generally speaking, funeral ceremonies are activities that people cherish the memory of their deceased relatives and friends, hoping that the deceased can feel at ease, or to comfort the memory of the living, or to revere or revere the undead, so the burial methods for the remains of the deceased are also different. Among them, tombs are used the most. The purpose of using tombs is to let the souls of the dead rest in peace, and the living can remember them forever.
Modern cemetery refers to the mass cemetery developed around the city to meet the needs of public tombs and operated by enterprises. In China, the landscape planning and design of modern cemeteries and contemporary funeral customs are deeply influenced by traditional funeral culture. However, with the development of funeral culture today, we should humanize it and eliminate the fear of death and cemetery.
Cemetery designers should park cemeteries and advocate epitaph culture. The planning and design of Tianjin Donghua Forest Cemetery embodies the characteristics of this era. It has created a scenic spot and famous area for future generations to downplay life and death, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, purify the soul and beautify life.
The definition of a grave in Ci Hai is: In ancient times, anyone who dug a pond to bury a coffin, covered it with earth and leveled it, and did not plant trees was called a grave. This concept is closer to the tomb in the modern sense. In his master's thesis, Shao Feng of Beijing Forestry University defined the cemetery in a narrow sense and a broad sense. In a narrow sense, a cemetery refers to a funeral place with garden art characteristics, which is not only a resting place for the dead, but also a place for the living to rest and remember the dead. This is the product of compound funeral function, and it is the main direction of modern cemetery development to better combine funeral culture with garden culture.
A cemetery in a broad sense refers to a place built by the living for the dead to store remains or ashes, including cemeteries and cemeteries. In 1990, the basic terminology standard of gardens formulated by the Ministry of Construction, the cemetery was interpreted as a garden cemetery.
It is a cemetery expression with the continuous development of modern society, which refers to a public cemetery with a certain number of graves and scope after scientific design. In recent years, cemeteries have acquired richer names, but both "memorial garden" and "ecological garden" have different names, because the functions of cemeteries are more diversified.
