Chinese fireworks and firecrackers have a long history and a history of more than 1,400 years, which is a national intangible cultural heritage and a world-renowned cultural product. Setting off fireworks is a traditional Xi custom of Chinese to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, farewell to the old and welcome the new, and every time there is a major festival, wedding and funeral, especially during the Spring Festival, people will set off fireworks to set off the atmosphere and increase the festivities. However, in recent years, due to the personal and property hazards, fire safety, environmental pollution and other practical problems caused by fireworks and firecrackers, most of the local party committees have issued a more stringent "fireworks and firecrackers management regulations", which clearly stipulates the time, place and type of fireworks and firecrackers that are restricted or banned. The Spring Festival of 2024 is the first Spring Festival after the epidemic is released, and the traditional requirements for resuming fireworks and firecrackers are very strong.
The author believes that the impact of the Xi of setting off fireworks on people is formed in long-term life practice, and the safety challenges from fireworks and firecrackers are called on relevant departments to take the initiative to consider both environmental protection and safety factors and public needs, and there should be a balance.
1) Eliminate hidden dangers at the source. Relevant functional departments must implement various control measures for fireworks and firecrackers practitioners, items and personnel. The sale of fireworks and firecrackers that are not labeled for flow registration shall be prohibited, embargoed, and confiscated;Units that have not obtained a permit for large-scale fireworks display will not be allowed to transport, store or set offExcessive and illegal fireworks and firecrackers will be strictly investigated and confiscated, and real harm will be resolutely prevented. At the same time, it is necessary to urge fireworks and firecrackers manufacturers to accurately meet the needs of the masses, develop firecrackers and fireworks with smaller dosage and safer specifications, and promote more safe and environmentally friendly products to the market.
2) Guide scientific fireworks. In-depth research, scientifically set up fireworks and firecrackers concentrated discharge areas, and announced to the public, strict management of individual fireworks activities. For applications to hold large-scale fireworks display activities, the level of fireworks, fireworks qualifications, fireworks plans, etc., shall be strictly reviewed, and those that do not meet the safety conditions and have not been assessed shall not be permitted. It is necessary to formulate emergency response plans, effectively strengthen the safety supervision of fireworks sites, and resolutely prevent the occurrence of major safety accidents such as fires, fires, and crowding.
3) Crack down on illegality. Further increase the criminal accountability and prohibition of illegal production and operation of fireworks and firecrackers, and effectively form a working mechanism for departments and regions to jointly investigate and control illegal production and operation of fireworks and firecrackers. The clues of illegal fireworks and firecrackers found in the work and handed over by various departments are traced back to the source, dug deep and carefully investigated, and pursued to the end. It not only thoroughly investigates the raw materials that are easy to make explosives, but also thoroughly investigates the sales channels and networks of finished products, and strives to find out the flow of all fireworks and firecrackers and completely eliminate potential safety hazards.
4) Create a safe atmosphere. Make full use of radio, television, newspapers and other news**, as well as text messages, WeChat, microblogging, the Internet and other information networks, adopt various forms such as feature films, publishing public service advertisements, and pushing safety reminders, and continue to organize and carry out multi-angle, in-depth, large-scale, and high-density publicity and education on the safety of fireworks and firecrackers, especially to carry out in-depth activities to bring the legal system into schools, improve minors' awareness of law-abiding and self-protection, and prevent improper discharge from causing personal and fire accidents.
