Ru tu wei an (burial pacifies the deceased)” and “tian ren he yi (harmony unifies man and nature)” are traditional Chinese views on life and death. Death serves as another existence of life, and it does not terminate relations between the living and the dead. Funeral ceremony and tomb sweeping play a most important role of extending relations between the living and the deceased. However, driven by interest, modern cemetery considers less emotional factors in its development, which in consequence transfers tomb sweeping into a passive acceptance from an active participation, and impedes the continuation and development of traditional Chinese culture. This paper lies out around the core of how to generate tomb sweeping: it clarifies that the affection regeneration of cemetery is the key element to motivate tomb sweeping; summaries the passive influence of inadequate cemetery affection and five categories of modern cemetery’s affection inadequateness; and puts forward five strategies on the affection regeneration of modern cemetery.
