Hello everyone, I'm the editor of Toutiao, and in this upcoming Spring Festival, we have a very important topic to talk to you about, and that is the issue of fireworks. Recently, a brick family named Huang An published an article claiming that there would be no fireworks and no holidays, which caused widespread controversy and discussion. Today, we're going to take a look at what exactly is going on with this issue.
## Why is fireworks banned?
The Xi of setting off fireworks has been around for thousands of years in China, and whether it's the Lantern Festival or the Spring Festival, people like to celebrate by setting off fireworks. However, with the process of urbanization, the use of fireworks has brought us a series of problems. First of all, setting off fireworks produces a lot of smoke and noise, which causes pollution to air quality and the environment. Secondly, many people have safety accidents when setting off fireworks, resulting in fires and casualties. On top of that, setting off fireworks causes a lot of panic and stress for some animals.
In the face of these problems, some local governments have begun to take measures to restrict the use of fireworks. This does reduce environmental pollution and safety hazards, but it has also sparked some controversy.
## Huang An's views sparked controversy
Huang An mentioned in the article that he advocated no fireworks and no holidays, believing that this would reduce environmental pollution and safety accidents. He believes that setting off fireworks is just an old tradition, and that this Xi should be abandoned in accordance with the progress of the times.
This idea has sparked a heated discussion on social media. Some people support Huang's view that there are indeed a series of problems with fireworks and firecrackers, which should be restricted. Others disagree, arguing that fireworks are part of our traditional culture and should be kept as such.
## How to have a civilized and safe Spring Festival?
Faced with this problem, I think we can learn from some other places. For example, some cities have begun to celebrate the Chinese New Year without fireworks. They hold light shows, theatrical performances and other activities to replace the traditional fireworks, which can not only reduce environmental pollution and safety hazards, but also allow people to enjoy a better festival atmosphere.
In addition, we can also encourage people to participate in other meaningful activities, so that the Spring Festival is not just a carnival of fireworks, but a more civilized and meaningful festival. For example, parent-child activities, cultural exhibitions, volunteer services, etc., can be organized, so that people can feel the warmth and cohesion of the community while enjoying the festival.
In short, having a civilized and safe Spring Festival does not mean that we should completely ban fireworks, but to find a better balance that can preserve our traditional culture and avoid the environmental and safety problems it brings. Let's work together to make the Chinese New Year a festival for people to enjoy and celebrate!
That's my point of view, and I'm looking forward to hearing more people's voices. What are your different views and suggestions on the issue of setting off fireworks? Feel free to leave a message in the comment area and share your thoughts with us. I wish you all a beautiful, civilized and safe Spring Festival in the new year!
