What do you think of today's hot spots
Every wise soul is at the topPoisonous chicken soup
Author: Brother Poison & Yucheng**: Poisonous chicken soupTime is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, 2023 is coming to an end again, and I believe everyone has their own feelings. Either way, when it comes to the turn of the year, the atmosphere is always lively and cheerful. And we Chinese have a tradition, when it comes to the excitement, we always have to set off some fireworks to set off the atmosphere, so at the end of the year, everyone's demand for fireworks has reached its peak. However, in reality, everyone knows that in many cities, fireworks are strictly controlled, and it is the norm not to hear firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. If you are addicted, you either hang a string of "electronic firecrackers" and scratch your boots, or you will sneak away to the countryside and run away after release, which always feels uncomfortable. But this year,The change in official attitudes seems to give people a glimmer of hope. First of all, at the beginning of the year, various localities adjusted relevant policies, and some cities increased the area and time where fireworks are allowed, such as Dalian, Liaoning, where the control is very relaxed. 
Then at the end of the year, the voice of liberalizing the control of fireworks and firecrackers appeared in the newspapers again, and it was not ordinary self-leaders and experts who spoke out, but the official media and related fields, reflecting the official attitude from another angle. The most important is the following article, which was proposed by the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress when announcing the case"It is illegal to completely ban fireworks and firecrackers", and has communicated with relevant units to request a revision of the regulations. This incident was reported by CCTV and appeared on the hot list of social platforms, and now many people know about it and have called for the unblocking of fireworks in the comment area. 
From a personal point of view, of course, I would like to lift the lockdown, but on the other hand, the change in official attitude is inevitably too blunt and abrupt to be reassuring. After so many years of strict control, but suddenly relaxed this year, what will be the reason?More importantly, is there a good chance of backlash in the future?Setting off fireworks and firecrackers has been a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, but why is it banned in the last ten years?There are two reasons, one is danger, and the other is pollution. Let's talk about danger first, fireworks and firecrackers are indeed quite unstable, and they are inflammable and explosive materials. Then there are many people who use it, and the distribution range is wide, even if one out of 100 people uses it non-standardly, it will cause great danger. Like when I was a child, I could hear adults mention every year that they were causing disasters because of firecrackers. Speaking of pollution, fireworks and firecrackers need to use sulfur, heavy metals, and a large number of paper products, when many people gather in a time to ignite fireworks, it will indeed cause a great burden on the environment, noise pollution is not small after the little partner of this, there should be some long-term childhood shadows, the previous New Year is lively, but it also means that you have to be woken up several times a night, wake up in the middle of the night, and smell the air is sulfur. Therefore, the control of fireworks and firecrackers is correct from the perspective of the development of the times, and the problem lies in the fact that many policies in our country will make a mistake in the process of formulation and implementation: one size fits all. From the whole people setting off firecrackers, to the sudden and complete ban, who will punish whom, there is a lack of proper transition in the middle, and then there is no sound of firecrackers during the New Year, the taste of the New Year has decreased sharply, and the people are all unaccustomed to the soil. So why did you suddenly loosen up again this year?It's not that the official really realizes that "a total ban on fireworks and firecrackers is illegal", but for a simpler reason:This year's environment is really a bit poor, with various negative growth and negative inflation data coming and going. Originally, due to the epidemic, everyone has been holding back for three years, and they are already very depressed. Then this year, the general environment has not changed much better, and some industries have even experienced a sharp decline, and everyone's wallet and fighting spirit are completely incomparable with a few years ago. In this case, the official urgently needs to give everyone a shot in the arm, and setting off fireworks is a good opportunity. Because the firecrackers are not a bad behavior, even if they are released, the results are controllable, and secondly, the lively atmosphere of fireworks can make everyone's emotions cathartic, and the lively scene is also good to report. In addition,Although fireworks are not high-end consumer goods, we must not underestimate their economic value. In Liuyang, Hunan, Shangli, Jiangxi, Zhenxiong, Yunnan and other places, the GDP is all driven by the fireworks and firecrackers industry, and the annual output value can be tens of billions. 
Even if it is not a place where fireworks are produced, allowing people to set off fireworks is also good for the economy, after all, fireworks can't be set off indoors, right?If you want to put it, you have to go out, as soon as you go out, there is the desire and opportunity to consume, whether it is to eat a meal, buy a bottle of water or go shopping by the way, as long as there are more people, local consumption can be stimulated. Therefore, there is a special reason for the rare relaxation of the official this year, and if it can really promote the unblocking of fireworks and firecrackers, it is not a bad thing. The problem lies in the fact that this year's special reason may not be reproducible, and negative economic growth is a fact, but it has not yet reached the level of shaking the foundation, and sooner or later it will still become active. Maybe in a few months, the economy will recover, and the people will be alive again, and at that time, will there be a need for the government to promote the fireworks industry?So it's not terrible to loosen your mouthWhat I was afraid of was Chao Qin Duchu, who had just given a sweet date, and the people thought that they had really let go, so they rushed up. As a result, as soon as he rushed up, the big slap came again, slapping people in the face. The official always has the final right to interpret, so in the end, the clown is still us. Having said all this, I am actually not very optimistic about the official release of fireworks control. There is certainly no need to count on complete liberalization, but short-term easing is possible, for example, there is already a mouth, after New Year's Day, all parts of the country will announce the Spring Festival fireworks management regulations, individual cities should be more relaxed than in previous years. Therefore, many people should still be able to enjoy a short period of New Year's flavor during the Spring Festival in 2024, so if the city where everyone is really relaxed by then, it is recommended to rush and cherish the hard-won opportunity. However, if you are a relevant practitioner, or want to enter the fireworks industry when you see the policy relaxation, then you should be cautious, because I personally feel that the general direction of the future will still tend to be conservative. First, because although fireworks represent tradition, they are contrary to many trends that are now in the limelight, such as environmental protection. Nowadays, the domestic governance of "environmental protection" has reached the level of a crazy demon, although everyone understands that the pollution caused by burning fireworks and firecrackers can be compared with industrial pollution and automobile exhaustBut in fact, even the people who understand science often have no right to speak, and they only have the right to obey in the face of the power that cannot be separated. The magic news of banning people from setting off firecrackers, burning straw, and even making noodles and pancakes in the name of "environmental protection" has long been commonplace across the country, so if you want to realize the freedom of firecrackers, you must go against the trend of "environmental protection", which is not feasible at present. 
The second is the fireworks themselves, which do have their own limitations. Even now, in areas with strict control, there are always fires caused by firecrackers at the end of every year, and firefighters and hospital burn departments are busy, and there are children who are scared to cry because of the noise of firecrackers. Therefore, the people's love for firecrackers is, to a greater extent, a kind of "Ye Gong Haolong" style of love, like the New Year's flavor it brings, but once something goes wrong because of fireworks, it is easy to turn the gun head and report it busily. Therefore, the future of the fireworks and firecrackers industry is likely to go in the direction of electronicization and environmental protection. As for the general public, I have only one suggestion: pay attention to safety, and if you want to set off fireworks, then do it within the scope of the law. Finally, everyone is also welcome to leave a message in the comment area: Is fireworks allowed in your place?What about your attitude towards fireworks?
