I don't think there is a conflict between the saying that the living are greater and the dead are greater, and the main thing is that it has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
I agree that the living are great. It's like our city is developing, and the dead need to make a little "concession". As the saying goes, "play in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, die in Quanzhou, Fujian", which is to say that the funeral in Quanzhou area is very developed, the period of burial, from the Taoist priests and monks who practice things, invite the "filial piety men and filial women" to cry and mourn, or the longevity clothes worn by the deceased according to their social status and children and grandchildren when they are buried, and even the various hours that the fortune teller picks, are very cumbersome.
It was previously thought that this was a sign of respect for the dead. However, due to the scarcity of land and the development of society and humanities, the bad habits of funerals have improved a lot, and the most typical is to change burial to cremation. When it was first practiced, the children and grandchildren felt that it would destroy feng shui and prevent the ancestors from being reincarnated.
However, through scientific education, we have gradually come to accept the concepts of "science", "hygiene" and "not wasting the resources of future generations". Therefore, in this case, in the future development, when the resources of human beings conflict with the dead, I believe that the living should be upheld. Only then will we not be held back by bad habits and our society will be more sustainable.
However, it is not an absolute authority to say that the living are great. At some point, we still have to respect the dead and insist that the dead are the greatest. In that part of Jiangxi, there is a custom of getting married.
There are two kinds of so-called yin marriages, the big yin marriage is the wedding of the living and the dead, and the small yin marriage is the wedding of the dead and the deceased. In order to make profits, many criminals illegally steal bones, and even kill lone women, and sell corpses for a living. These people are the most hateful, maybe they also have to provide for their families, maybe they are also pillars and heroes for their loved ones.
But none of this should be based on insulting the bones or even breaking the law and committing crimes. From another point of view, the reason why this industry was born is because the families of the deceased, many of the families of the deceased are afraid that their relatives will be lonely, or afraid that the feng shui is not good, and for various reasons, they want to marry the deceased, saying that it is for the good of the deceased, but in fact, it is completely concerned about their own selfishness. Because I am afraid that I will be worried, I must disturb the deceased who has been buried in the earth.
Even turning a deaf ear to the bones of some illegal channels, they still buy them. The wishes and moods of the living are important, but the deceased are great, and they should not do whatever they want.
There is another case of insults. Some people, for various reasons such as conflicts or conflicts of interest, will insult the deceased relatives or speak ill of the deceased. In fact, I think that no matter what the cause of death is, the deceased is gone, and if a person dies like a lamp going out, the dust should be completely gone, and the living can only be worried or in awe in the bottom of their hearts, and they really shouldn't talk about it.
<>Human beings are constantly evolving, and society is constantly evolving. Many things are far from being black and white. Because truth is not immutable, and any truth is limited by facts and history.
Therefore, when we are arguing about whether the living are greater or the dead are greater, we should not beat them to death with a stick, but we need to correspond them to different facts and interpret them differently.

There is no doubt that I think it is the living who are greater. I will never show disrespect for the deceased, the deceased deserve our remembrance, regret, we can remember them on a certain day every year, to remember that period of time, they have brought you warmth, that memory has not been forgotten, but what we need to know is that no matter when, it is the living who are great, we cannot forget this.
First of all, what has passed is the past, and we should understand that yesterday has passed, and we can't always keep a person or a thing in our hearts for a lifetime, which will cause harm to ourselves and the people around us. I still remember the mother who moved China when Wenchuan **, and she is still thinking about her child at the last moment of her life, but we should also understand that as a mother, her greatest wish is to hope that her child can thrive, and she does not have to achieve much, but she must live happily, the child survived, and I hope she can forget her mother and create a happiness of her own while remembering her mother's love, which is the greatest reward for her mother.
Secondly, I believe that under no circumstances can we abandon the living person, in our daily life, we need to be in contact with them, live in the same place with them, talk to them, and there is no reason for us to ignore the behavior of a person who can have an impact on their daily life. In the same way, as a living person, there is no need to have any conflict with the deceased, after death everything will be gone, love or hate, as the living, we cannot use all this as a reason for our own struggle.
Returning to the problem, I think that things that are more likely to be in this tangled situation are more likely to be caused by disputes between certain interests, such as the lively burial that is always spread on the Internet, and the person who is buried always holds the slogan of the deceased to blindly occupy the land for burial, and does not comply with the call of the country to implement cremation, some people say that this is a traditional custom, and the landing is called returning to the roots, and the will of the deceased is like this, but I can't agree with such remarks, isn't it that the burial is not respectful to the dead, and the deceased is not great. I don't think necessarily, there are always some people who hold the deceased to promote feudal theories to win their reputation for filial piety, this is not an excuse, I respect any person who has passed away, I believe that they should not be honored in the form of death, and it is also an illusion to be unfilial after death.
I believe that everyone does not want to be entangled in the contradiction between the dead and the living, the dead rest in peace, the living live, the two are not in conflict, on the contrary, only the deceased leave safely, the living can better continue to walk, both need to be respected.

The living are great, and the dead are honored.
It's like watching TV series**, watching history, what is the posthumous seal, at that time, people felt that the deceased was big, and there was no threat after death, you can seal anything, but don't you feel sad? What is the meaning of the title after death, will the deceased feel relieved or the family members will be happy? I could only feel an inexplicable sadness.
Of course, in ancient times, it was believed that the dead were greater, because they believed in ghosts and gods. They think that people have souls, and if they can't turn their eyes on them after death, they will come to the world to harm people, so they will bury people well, and they can't easily dissect or burn corpses, and if they can't find them, they have to make a clothed grave. And tomb robbers always seem to encounter strange things that can't be explained.
This makes people feel even more intimidating when they die. And in ancient times, there was always something to admonish each other with death, it seems that they felt that others would not listen to what they said when they were alive, but everyone would listen when they died. Isn't this ridiculous in our opinion, this is foolishness.
And now we will still have graves, tombstones, and bury the dead, but not because they are more important than the living, but only out of respect and nostalgia for the dead. We still think of the living as more important. For example, in the event of a crisis, if the person is already dead, the doctor will definitely not run over to bury the person first, but will rush to save the person who can survive.
I think that whether it is the living or the dead, as long as they live in this world, the living have the right to live better, and the lost people also have the right to be mourned.
But we still have to respect life and respect the living life. Freed from the shackles of those traditional notions of ghosts and gods, the dead are already in the past, just like history, the past is gone. We can use our own way to remember the dead, to remember, to learn lessons, so that the living can live better.

The living are great, and the dead are great. I think that under the premise that the living are greater, we should talk about the dead being greater.
First of all, the dead are the greatest, which is left over from the traditional moral and ethical concepts of ancient China, and is no longer suitable for this new society. In this human rights society, the deceased is no longer very suitable for the moral concept of this society. For example, if in the event of war, many of the soldiers will die or be injured, there will be two options, one is to take the dead as the big idea, first dig a grave for the dead comrades to bury; The second is to take the living as the big idea, and rescue and carry away the injured comrades-in-arms.
I think there is actually only one choice, that is, the soldiers will rescue and carry away the wounded comrade-in-arms, the reason is that he is still alive, he has hope to stay in this world and enjoy a better future, and he cannot delay this comrade-in-arms who is still alive because of the dead comrades-in-arms. So this is the living are great, and in the face of danger, the living always take precedence, not the dead.
Of course, people now want to protect the rights and interests of the living, but when they protect the rights and interests of the living, they still have to respect the deceased. This is the moral and ethical concept that everyone should have, but there are still many things that do not respect the deceased, such as marriage with yin, tomb robbery, corpse rape and so on. The existence of such things is all spurned by people, and after a person dies, he still does such a thing that disrespects the deceased, which violates the conscience in everyone's heart.
The dead are greater, and at such times it is still necessary to follow.
Therefore, in the current society, it is still necessary to give priority to the living, and when the rights and interests of the living can be safeguarded, it is up to people's conscience to abide by the concept of the dead. May the living cherish life, and may the dead rest in peace after death. <>

<>First of all, I am very fortunate that I have not experienced death up close, and my relatives and friends around me are all healthy and safe, so it may be related to my current experience, I have always believed that the living are the greatest.
When the question of whether the living or the dead is greater comes into play, most of the dead are closely related to you. For example, when you don't have enough money on hand, but unfortunately a loved one dies for some reason, then the funeral should not be a big deal, on the one hand, you will feel that this person is the last opportunity to say goodbye to the world, no matter what, let him leave with dignity; On the other hand, if you want to do a big job, you must abide by certain customs, the process is complicated, the cost is unimaginable, and some regional customs require a funeral to cost about 100,000 yuan. Therefore, the reality is in front of us, whether to choose the living to do a lot of work, or choose the dead to do a lot of work is a problem that must be faced.
In my opinion, death is a problem that each of us does not dare to think about, but in the end we have to face, our fear or sadness of death stems from our ignorance behind death, we don't know whether to turn into nothingness or a new beginning after death, so what we can do is to try to live, to be the person who "some people are dead, but he is still alive", to be the person who even if you are gone, but the people around you will feel full of power when they think of you. We can't take anything away, but we can stay, leave your romance, your faith and spirit, leave all the beauty and tears in your eyes for the living, give them strength, after all, it is more courage to live.
Finally, to borrow a poem by Gao Xiaosong: You are the star, I am the star next to you, my entire trajectory is affected by you, even if one day this star goes out, it becomes dark matter, it becomes an invisible thing, it still affects my trajectory, your appearance will forever change my star track, no matter you are in,**.

I don't have a definite answer to such a question, but I have experienced it myself. Many people may say that the dead are greater, and perhaps in my subconscious, the living can still live, while the dead can never wake up.
I was very impressed that my grandmother passed away just a few days after the beginning of spring last year. That will receive the ** at home Hearing such information, I didn't come back to my senses for a while. Without any hesitation, all the juniors in the family have returned to their hometowns, and they have returned home at noon the next day, some of the brothers and sisters, because the company's affairs are very late, remember very clearly, all of us were scolded for the blood, because we did not rush back that night, no matter what the reason, in the hearts of the elders, this is unfilial piety, they can not accept.
Maybe they're right, it's just that we can't understand it!
The funeral for my grandmother lasted seven days. These seven days were very painful, each of us got up at three o'clock in the morning, briefly freshened up, and after eating something, each of us had to kneel beside my grandmother and burn some paper money for her. When we stood up, even our legs were shaking.
Until the coffin was laid down, it lasted for seven days, and at the end of it was all physically and mentally exhausted. I can't deny that this is our filial piety, but for those who have experienced such a thing, in a sense the dead have died, but the one who suffers must be the living. So is the living great?
Not really.
It may not be very objective to cite such examples, but I would like to say that the reason why we say that the dead are the greatest, is that we agree with the most fundamental respect for life. <>
Or the most sincere remembrance or longing for your loved ones!

In terms of their respective officially claimed land area, China is slightly larger.
