The United Nations declared the Chinese New Year a United Nations holiday around the world, and the news has aroused widespread concern.
However, singer Huang An expressed dissatisfaction with the decision not to have a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve in 2024 and made critical remarks against the so-called experts. Huang An believes that the Spring Festival, as a traditional festival, represents a day for thousands of families to reunite, but now that it is abandoned, China's quintessence is becoming less and less. This incident has triggered people's thinking and discussion on the balance between traditional culture and the needs of modern society.
1. The loss of important festivals
Chinese New Year's Eve is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals, representing family reunion and a strong traditional atmosphere. However, regulations such as no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve and a ban on firecrackers make it difficult for people to truly feel the atmosphere of family reunions and traditional festivals. This phenomenon was extremely rare in the past, and as a result, it caused widespread discontent.
Second, the congestion problem affects reunion
Highway congestion during the holiday season has greatly shortened the time for family reunions. Normally, outsiders can only return to their hometowns on the morning of the first day of the new year, but due to highway congestion, many people do not arrive until the second day of the new year. At the same time, many people had to return early to avoid traffic jams, which led to very limited time to reunite with their families and made people feel tired.
3. Balance traditional culture and modern needs
When it comes to the decisions of experts, some argue that they are often overpowered, unable to truly understand the needs and expectations of the people, and lacking respect for traditional cultures. This is one of the reasons for Huang's critical remarks. As a representative of ordinary people, Huang An expressed their voices and concerns about traditional culture.
However, finding a solution is not an easy task. With the progress of society and economic development, problems such as traffic congestion during the Spring Festival have become increasingly prominent. To address these issues, some experts and policymakers have proposed shortening the Spring Festival holiday to reduce traffic congestion and boost economic development. However, this practice has led to concerns and resentment about traditional culture and family reunification.
In addressing this issue, it is necessary to take into account the interests of all parties and seek a balance at the same time. On the one hand, traditional culture should be respected and protected to ensure that people can truly experience the atmosphere and meaning of traditional festivals. On the other hand, measures are also needed to alleviate traffic congestion so that people can reunite with their families more easily. This will require governments, experts and citizens to work together to solve the problem by improving the transport system and optimizing holiday arrangements.
Epilogue:
Huang An's criticism of the lack of a holiday during the Spring Festival has aroused people's attention and thinking about traditional culture and modern needs. In addressing this issue, it is important to balance the interests of all parties. Preserving traditional culture and providing a more accessible transportation system is the key to achieving a balance. Through the joint efforts of the government, experts and the public, we can find a balance between respecting tradition and meeting modern needs, so that the Spring Festival can become an important carrier for people to reunite and inherit culture, and add a strong touch to the harmonious development of society.
