Foreword: Fireworks have become one of the most important elements of the Spring Festival for thousands of years, but because of the existence of the "ban on burning" to overshadow it, and now the Spring Festival is approaching, can fireworks be set off this year?2023 is completely coming to an end, and there are only a few days left on New Year's Day in 2024, which means that the Spring Festival in 2024 is also coming, and in these two days, there is a news about the national folk customs that makes all Chinese people excited, and the "ban on fireworks" will be loosened.
On December 26, Shen Chunyao, director of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, reported to the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress on the filing and review work in 2023.
Concerning. Local regulations that completely prohibit the sale and discharge of fireworks and firecrackers have citizens and enterprises to review and propose comprehensive prohibition provisions.
The People's Working Committee reviewed and believed that the provisions of the relevant local regulations on the comprehensive prohibition of the sale and discharge of fireworks and firecrackers were inconsistent with the relevant provisions of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law and the Regulations on the Safety Management of Fireworks and FirecrackersWith regard to the issue of a complete ban on sales and burning, there are differences in understanding, and it is difficult to enforce in practice, so it should be revised in accordance with the spirit of the provisions of the higher-level law.
This means that it is illegal to completely ban the sale and discharge of fireworks and firecrackers, and the local method must obey the superior law, so it must be revised.
And now there's the good news:After communication, the formulating authority has agreed to make amendments to the relevant provisions as soon as possible.
In the sound of firecrackers, it is almost the Spring Festival of 2024. So, is it possible for everyone to set off fireworks during the Spring Festival in 2024?There are two main reasons why this issue is not satisfactory.
Clause.
First, the problem of time.
In China, the formulation and revision of laws and regulations are major problems, and the procedures that go through are also cumbersome and complicated, except for special reasons, the time required is very long, and it is not surprising that it takes several months or even years.
And now that we are about to enter 2024, there is only one month before the Spring Festival, and it can be said that it is difficult to come in time. And not only that, so the local administration stipulates that there are still many places that are implementing a ban on fireworks and firecrackers in the whole territory. Therefore, even if it is unbound, it will be lifted one place at a time, and it is impossible to completely lift the ban at one time.
Clause.
Second, environmental protection issues.
According to the report of the National People's Congress, the total ban on fireworks is illegal, and there is no saying that restrictive fireworks are illegal, so Dolly's "burning restriction order" should continue to be implemented, such as setting off fireworks and firecrackers at the specified time and place.
Because according to the provisions of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the use of fireworks and firecrackers will indeed cause certain environmental pollution, and at the same time, there will be certain social hazards, such as causing fires and so on. This is also the reason for the "ban on burning", especially in some densely populated areas of chemical factories and forests.
Therefore, there is still a debate on whether the ban can be fully lifted during the Spring Festival in 2024. Of course, more of us still have great expectations, after all, the Spring Festival is only once a year, and this traditional festival group circle, celebration, sacrifice and other traditional customs as a whole.
After a year of busyness and hard work, scattered relatives and friends from all over the world gathered for a good time, and without fireworks, they would not be able to do anything, so the full lifting of the ban on fireworks and firecrackers made everyone look forward to it.
Moreover, in 2024, there is a high possibility of fireworks and firecrackers in many areas, and there are now clear regulations on fireworks and firecrackers in many places.
On December 26, after the Legislative Affairs Committee believed that the complete ban on fireworks and firecrackers was illegal, on the afternoon of December 27, the Emergency Management Bureau of Luoyang City, Henan Province responded that the ban on fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival in 2024 is being studied. Many places in Henan have also made research decisions.
It is believed that with the revision of the ban on burning in various places, the flavor of the New Year will become stronger and stronger in the future, and people who have worked hard for a year will have more expectations for the Spring Festival.
Regarding the "ban on fireworks", CCTV commented:It's time for a complete ban on fireworks and firecrackers to end!
