Since the United Nations designated the Chinese New Year as a United Nations holiday, singer Huang An has been angry at the expert's recommended decision.
He bluntly criticized experts on social platforms who proposed no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve and no guns for the Spring Festival.
This move caused widespread heated discussions and even received an official response.
The article points out that the Spring Festival has a special status in China, and it is an important step for traditional Chinese culture to be recognized and respected by the international community.
However, when netizens saw the 2024 holiday plan, they were dissatisfied with the decision not to have a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Despite the nine-day holiday, Chinese New Year's Eve does not give a holiday, but encourages all units to arrange paid rest for employees.
This caused netizens to complain, thinking that the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, and even the New Year is gone.
Huang An posted bluntly on social media, criticizing experts who banned Spring Festival guns and did not have a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve.
He said experts advocating for the recommendations should take a two-step approach, saying that these people should go to live in temples because China has become less and less quintessential and cannot tolerate those who want to abolish traditional culture.
Huang An's rhetoric, though direct and brutal, expresses a firm attitude towards traditional Chinese culture.
This move quickly attracted the attention and response of netizens, and the comment area was full of support for Huang An.
For a public figure, Huang An's rhetoric is a bit out of line, but he has always been known for daring to tell the truth.
The official also responded to the matter later, saying that the relevant regulations would be amended.
The Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress said that the provisions of local regulations on the comprehensive prohibition of the sale and discharge of fireworks and firecrackers are inconsistent with the spirit of the provisions of the higher-level law and should be revised.
Media person Hu Xijin also said in the video that the policy of a complete ban on fireworks and firecrackers should be changed, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach should not be adopted.
He mentioned that the "one-size-fits-all" policy is easy to cause social problems and contradictions, and the people's choice and attitude towards fireworks and firecrackers should be respected.
The article concludes with mentioning the importance of the Spring Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve, explaining the origin of the tradition of setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival.
The article calls for paying attention to environmental protection and public safety while inheriting and promoting traditional culture.
In the end, it is hoped that the official can fully consider the opinions of all parties when formulating policies, and formulate a more scientific and reasonable policy on the prohibition of fireworks and firecrackers.
