The Spring Festival has a history of more than 4,000 years in China and is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation.
When it comes to the Chinese New Year, the elders in the family are busy, which can be described as the most lively and important day of the year.
However, since the ban on fireworks, the "New Year's flavor" has become less and less.
can't help but make people very nostalgic for the Spring Festival when "full of human touch, walking the streets and alleys".
Unexpectedly, in December 2023, a celebrity's post caused controversy among netizens.
What the hell is going on, is it really hopeless to set off fireworks?
The "human touch" of the past Spring Festival
When pasting couplets, adults and children will come to help, and people will choose their favorite blessings, and the red Spring Festival couplets look very festive.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve, at this time, the wanderers who work hard outside will return home to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with their families, symbolizing the family reunion, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also called the reunion dinner.
Pressing money is a favorite Xi of children, as the saying goes, pressing money can suppress evil, at the beginning of the new year, people go door-to-door to greet relatives and friends, children will receive New Year money, not to mention how happy.
The Xi of setting off firecrackers is much more interesting, and according to legend, there is a beast called "Nian", which is not a good thing in the mouths of the elderly. In order to drive it away, people accidentally found that "Nian" seemed to be afraid of firecrackers, so it was passed down in this way.
During the Chinese New Year, we can also see everyone with a smile on their faces. Whether it is a wanderer who goes to school in other places or a family member who has been working hard outside for a year, they will come back a few days in advance to buy New Year's goods and other items.
But with the development of the times, the Spring Festival is becoming less and less flavorful, and the Xi of the Spring Festival seems to be gradually lost, why do people feel that there is no taste of the year?
What is the taste of the New Year? Is it a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, a New Year's product, or a firecracker?
In fact, the taste of the New Year is not a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but a reunion. In the past, people's living standards were relatively low, so only on Chinese New Year's Eve could they return home to reunite with their loved ones and eat delicious food.
Now people's living standards are generally improved, and transportation is more convenient. You can also eat delicious food on a normal day, and if you feel homesick, you can always go back and check it out.
The flavor of the New Year is not a New Year's product, but the atmosphere when you prepare for the New Year with your family. In the past, people would go to the street to buy New Year's goods, but in today's advanced technology, many people will choose to shop online. And the New Year's goods will not be so rare, because everyone's life is not lacking in anything.
The flavor of the New Year is not firecrackers, but the excitement brought by the sound of firecrackers. The feeling of a family getting together to set off firecrackers and play with fairy sticks is something you don't have anywhere else. But nowadays, more and more people don't like the lively atmosphere and feel that the New Year is not interesting.
Therefore, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the change of life concepts, the lack of New Year's flavor is inevitable.
But this does not affect the status of the Spring Festival in the hearts of our Chinese, and even has its own official status in the United Nations Spring Festival.
On 22 December 2023, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly declared the Chinese New Year a "United Nations holiday". This further shows that our Chinese Xi has been recognized by the world, and many netizens cheered at this time, which means that more people around the world celebrate the Spring Festival with us.
At the same time, the ban on fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival has caused controversy among netizens.
Some netizens believe that the ban on fireworks lacks a sense of ceremony, and the source of the sense of ceremony is the sound of firecrackers.
Huang An angrily banned fireworks
"One year old in the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu", there has always been a tradition of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival, and it is part of the Spring Festival Xi, but a few years ago the expert version proposed to restrict the regulation of fireworks and firecrackers.
When the Spring Festival is approaching every year, whether the ban on fireworks and firecrackers is reasonable has also been controversial by the majority of netizens.
At this time, Taiwanese singer Huang An also paid attention to this matter. Although he is in Taiwan, he is a very patriotic person. Huang An's post also sparked heated discussions among netizens and aroused widespread attention.
When it comes to Huang An, many young people may feel unfamiliar. But everyone should know about his works, such as the theme song "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" in "Bao Qingtian", which is sung all over the country, and "Mice Love Rice", I believe everyone is familiar with it.
As an insider figure, Huang An has great influence. The ban on fireworks and firecrackers couldn't help but make him scold.
Many netizens have expressed their support for Huang An, and even left messages directly in the comment area.
People burn paper money and incense during the Qingming Festival, which is not only superstitious, but also easy to cause fires. Dragon boat rowing during the Dragon Boat Festival can easily increase the possibility of drowning. Consider that all Xi are multifaceted, but only fireworks are explicitly prohibited.
In fact, people have unconsciously lacked the awareness of the New Year's flavor, and the prohibition of fireworks also limits the production of the New Year's flavor materially.
In fact, the ban on fireworks has been opposed a few years ago, but it takes a lot of courage for a public figure like Huang An to dare to stand up and speak out.
It's not that everyone thinks this regulation is unreasonable, but that it is also forbidden on the day of the Spring Festival, which is unacceptable to most people.
Netizens claim that the "one-size-fits-all" ban on fireworks and firecrackers is too lacking in humanity, and this model is difficult to accept.
The common people's New Year is nothing more than a lively picture, fireworks are like a sense of ritual during the Spring Festival, and if the sense of ritual is gone, you will feel that something is missing.
Nowadays, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is getting weaker and weaker, and during the Spring Festival, the whole city is also quiet, as if it was just an ordinary weekend spent on an ordinary day.
Coupled with the epidemic for several years, there is no New Year's appearance during the New Year, and there are even some remarks that the epidemic is related to the ban on fireworks.
In fact, the prohibition of fireworks is not without basis. I don't know if you have noticed, a few years ago, when it could still be set off, there would be fireworks and various fire problems during the New Year's holidays.
It is understandable that fireworks can easily be injured and cause fires. Especially in places where there are a lot of combustibles, falling fireworks are very likely to cause disasters.
However, although fireworks and firecrackers can easily cause disasters, we cannot ignore the voices of the people. Rather, it should be balanced, not a total ban, but also not a full opening.
At the same time, there has been a new development on whether to have a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Is there a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve?
Now we not only can't see fireworks during the Spring Festival, but also deprives some people of the opportunity to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to say that this is indeed shocking news.
And the meaning of Chinese New Year's Eve is even stronger than the first day of the new year. It is a symbol of the old and the new, and on this day, people pray for good fortune in the coming year.
Many netizens have questioned the voice, and Huang An is even more angry that "there is no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve" and spoke that experts who advocate not having a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve come out for a walk.
Huang An's words can't help but make people feel empathy, in fact, it is these older seniors who care about the taste of the year the most.
They truly experienced the difference between the years and the gradual disappearance of the flavor of the year.
And Chinese New Year's Eve means extremely important to us, now there are many people who cannot go home because of work, Chinese New Year's Eve used to be regarded as a legal holiday, this year's Spring Festival holiday does not include Chinese New Year's Eve.
This means that many migrant workers will not be able to return home until after 6 o'clock, and some people will not even be able to return home, and they will not even be able to say a word of good New Year to their elders, and it will definitely cause peak traffic jams and subway congestion.
As this netizen said, "Now not only is the taste of the New Year gone, but now the New Year is gone."
Huang An's remarks once again resonated with netizens, and many netizens expressed their support for him, which can be said to have expressed the voices of many ordinary people and gave him a thumbs up.
Of course, the most important thing for the state is the opinions of the people, and the official immediately responded to this.
On December 25, the National Development and Reform Commission responded: encourage all units to combine the implementation of paid leave and other systems, and arrange employees to rest on Chinese New Year's Eve, the longest Spring Festival holiday in history is 9 days.
The Legislative Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress said that the total ban on fireworks and firecrackers was unreasonable and could be amended.
In this regard, many netizens left messages of thanks in the comment area, and even many netizens gave a thumbs up. I think I'll be able to get accurate information about the fireworks in the near future, but how can I say that it's not exciting!
Although the years change, people's expectations for the New Year remain the same, and the desire for New Year's flavors will not change.
The Spring Festival is like a red string, and it is up to each of us to weave different Chinese knots.
Finally, the end of the year is approaching, and the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road is gradually increasing.
I hope you will pay attention to safety when you go out, and I wish you all a happy and auspicious year!
