Introduction: The Spring Festival is approaching, and firecrackers are prohibited in many places. Peking University professor suggested canceling the "New Year's Eve dinner". Official media commented: A good legacy must be inherited! Do you support it?
The Spring Festival is an important reunion festival in our country. Those who have traveled thousands of miles away from home will also travel thousands of miles during the Spring Festival. They go home to celebrate the New Year and have a New Year's Eve dinner as a family. This is a traditional custom in my country that has thousands of years of history.
Rich or not, go home and celebrate the New Year! For thousands of years, the Chinese Spring Festival has been celebrated this way, reflecting humanistic culture and adding to the emotion of returning fallen leaves to their roots, as well as family affection and friendship.
In recent years, the Spring Festival has become boring. This is a common experience for everyone. The reason is very simple, that is, the traditional custom of setting off firecrackers has been canceled during the Chinese New Year. Yes, the Chinese New Year has no Chinese New Year flavor and no lively atmosphere.
The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, always replacing old charms with new ones! There are many Spring Festival customs, including pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, setting off firecrackers, visiting relatives and friends, sending red envelopes, and the whole family making dumplings around the stove, eating reunion dinner, and watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is such a happy, reunited, warm, and harmonious scene.
Every year on New Year's Eve, the city seems empty and quiet, but the countryside is very prosperous. People who are away from home go back to their hometowns in rural areas to celebrate the New Year and visit their graves to worship their ancestors . The whole family is reunited, talking and laughing, and thousands of houses are lit up, creating a very warm scene.
In recent years, under the advice of experts, the custom of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival has been cancelled. The reason for is very simple, that is because setting off firecrackers pollutes the air. In fact, the main cause of air pollution is not setting off firecrackers and burning crop straw. The real cause comes from vehicle exhaust emissions and exhaust emissions from heavy chemical companies.
It is forbidden to set off firecrackers during the Spring Festival to prevent air pollution. This is an approach that sacrifices the basics and seeks the last. It is an approach that "picks up sesame and misses out the watermelon." The New Year has to be celebrated without the flavor of the New Year.
Of course, setting off firecrackers can also cause fires and incorrect methods of setting off firecrackers can cause accidental injuries. For these two accidents, they can basically be avoided as long as the methods of setting off firecrackers are properly publicized and guided, or that firecrackers are not necessarily set off in a certain place or at a certain time.
At present, more than 700 cities across the country have announced a ban on setting off firecrackers. For large cities with dense populations and dense buildings, banning firecrackers is also a good idea. Regarding the ban on setting off firecrackers in rural areas, this approach is inappropriate and cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, official media has also commented on the "one-size-fits-all" approach to banning firecrackers.
At present, two places in Shandong Binzhou and Dongying have announced that firecrackers can be set off during the Spring Festival on New Year's Eve, the first to the third day of the lunar month, and the 15th day of the first lunar month. This is a very down-to-earth approach and has been highly approved by hundreds of millions of netizens.
In fact, there are many benefits to setting off firecrackers during the New Year. First of all, setting off firecrackers can increase the festive atmosphere and inherit thousands of years of traditional customs; secondly, setting off firecrackers can improve people's spiritual and cultural life. When the spirit is good, it can improve the body's immunity and release mental stress; third, setting off firecrackers also has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, because the main component of the gunpowder used for firecrackers is sulfur, and the gas after burning sulfur has a sterilizing effect.
Let’s talk about the Peking University professor’s suggestion to cancel the New Year’s Eve dinner. This suggestion is inappropriate.
This Peking University professor admires Western culture and believes that the West does not have the custom of New Year’s Eve dinner like our country. He believes that the New Year's Eve dinner has at least three disadvantages: first, the New Year's Eve dinner every year, many people suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, which may be life-threatening; second, the New Year's Eve dinner, many people like to drink, and drinking will lead to fights and even murders, seriously damaging social harmony; third, advanced civilized countries do not eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and the New Year's Eve dinner retained in our country is a barbaric and backward custom.
This professor believes that New Year’s Eve dinner is a bad habit and the custom of New Year’s Eve dinner should not be retained. He suggests canceling the New Year’s Eve dinner.I disagree with the professor's statement.
As the saying goes, " you can't grow soybeans when you hear rabbits barking." Because rabbits like to eat soybean sprouts, especially when planting soybeans, once discovered by a hare, a piece of land will be destroyed overnight. Could it be that just because you hear the croaking of a hare, you can’t grow soybeans? How can such food be produced?
Another example is that there are so many vehicles now. As a characteristic means of transportation for human progress, every household has a car, which indeed improves work efficiency. But the number of people who die every year due to car accidents is far more than the accidents that occur during the Spring Festival dinner. Is it possible to cancel all cars? Going back to the primitive days of cycling or walking?
For example, the pollution in the air is now serious, and breathing it into the body will cause certain harm to health. I suggested that the professor stop breathing air and directly use an oxygen inhaler to breathe oxygen.
Regarding this professor’s statement, many official media commented: Good inheritance must be inherited! New Year's Eve dinner is a tradition that goes back thousands of years, and it is a very down-to-earth food culture. It is a very good custom that can integrate the affection of a family. For a professor from such a well-known university to consider New Year's Eve dinner a bad habit, it is a desecration of thousands of years of fine traditional customs.
In summary, it is prohibited to set off firecrackers during the Spring Festival. This approach should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. It is recommended that firecrackers be set off within specified time periods and specified locations to increase the festive atmosphere. Especially during the Spring Festival in rural areas, firecrackers can be set off freely. Do you support it?
Regarding New Year’s Eve dinner, this is a fine traditional custom in my country that must be inherited and carried forward and should not be considered a bad habit. At least the New Year's Eve dinner can add to the joyful atmosphere of the family. Of course, drinking is appropriate during the Spring Festival, just eat enough! Are you right?
