Encourage qualified funeral management service institutions to open online sacrificial sweeping channels.

2. Strict sacrifice control. It is forbidden to hold collective sacrificial activities in ancestral temples, ancestral homes and other places. It is strictly forbidden to burn offerings such as Ming coins and paper money and set off firecrackers in any public place. All streets and communities should do a good job in the inspection and control of relevant places within their respective jurisdictions.
