The atmosphere of this year's Spring Festival feels much better than the previous two years, and after the 23rd of the lunar month, there will be some New Year's flavor! Although it is a pity that there is no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve, although the streets are still relatively cold. However, compared with previous years, in terms of folk inheritance, the humane side is highlighted! This may be the return of human nature.
First of all, the humanization of the burning of memorial supplies, and the remembrance of the ancestors and the sacrifice of the ancestors during the festival are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Although the burning of sacrificial articles is not permitted, it is not prohibited! Some people who are unable to go to the cemetery of their ancestors to pay respects can carry out some sacrificial activities at designated places under the guidance of community workers.
Secondly, the humanization of fireworks and firecrackers. It is also a traditional custom to set off fireworks during the festival to create a strong festive atmosphere. In many places, fireworks are no longer banned across the board. However, from a safety point of view, fireworks are prohibited in some areas such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes and high-rise buildings.
As for the radical remarks put forward by some experts, such as banning the burning of sacrificial articles, banning fireworks, and canceling the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, this is actually an act of forgetting one's ancestors. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the temple is called religious belief, and some traditional sacrificial activities in festivals also belong to a kind of national inheritance and a kind of historical culture!
When our Dragon Boat Festival was inscribed on the World Heritage List by South Korea, we remembered Qu Yuan, China's first great patriotic poet, and when some of our experts shouted that "Chinese medicine is immortal, and heaven is intolerable", Japan has already begun to plunder our Chinese medicine culture on a large scale. Even South Korea is very interested in "Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine" and has applied to UNESCO for inclusion in the World Heritage List.
There will be no progress in a nation that forgets its history, and there will be no future in a country that abandons its national culture. The traditional virtues of the Chinese nation cannot be lost, must be passed on from generation to generation, and some folk customs that have been diluted should be gradually recovered and carried forward through propaganda and guidance, which is also an important landscape on the road to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
