The Spring Festival, the grandest traditional festival in China, symbolizes reunion, joy and hope. However, in recent years, some Spring Festival Xi customs have suffered the fate of being "stopped", which has aroused heated discussions and thinking among netizens. During the Spring Festival in 2023, many local governments have introduced policies to ban fireworks and firecrackers, which has attracted widespread attention. Many netizens said that the Spring Festival without fireworks has lost its flavor and traditional atmosphere. What is the purpose of the government's policy, and how should we view this phenomenon?
First of all, we need to be clear that there are certain safety hazards associated with setting off fireworks. During the Spring Festival every year, fires, explosions, injuries and other accidents caused by fireworks and firecrackers are not uncommon. It is understandable that the government restricts or prohibits the use of fireworks for safety reasons. At the same time, with the increase of environmental awareness, people have also begun to pay attention to the impact of fireworks on air quality. Therefore, the government has introduced a policy of banning fireworks and firecrackers, both for safety reasons and to protect the environment.
However, for many Chinese, setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival has become a Xi and part of traditional culture. Netizens said that the Spring Festival without fireworks is like losing its soul. This emotional attachment and sense of identity is completely understandable. After all, traditional culture is a manifestation of spiritual sustenance and a sense of identity for a country and nation.
So, how do we find a balance between the preservation of traditional culture and the satisfaction of modern needs? I believe that this requires the joint efforts of the whole society. On the one hand, the government can introduce more scientific and reasonable policies, such as restricting the time, place, and variety of fireworks, and strengthen the management and supervision of fireworks. On the other hand, we can create a festive atmosphere by holding various cultural events, such as fireworks displays, lantern displays, etc. These activities can not only meet people's needs for a festive atmosphere, but also be better guaranteed in terms of safety and environmental protection.
In addition, we can also raise the public's awareness of safety and environmental protection through education and publicity. Let people realize the hazards of fireworks and firecrackers, understand the importance of environmental protection, so as to consciously abide by relevant regulations, and jointly create a safe, environmentally friendly and peaceful Spring Festival atmosphere.
In short, behind the dispute over Spring Festival Xi is the game between traditional culture and modern demand. While protecting traditional culture, we should actively adapt to the needs and development of modern society. Through the joint efforts of the whole society, we will be able to find a balance between retaining the essence of traditional culture and full of modern vitality and atmosphere.
