On December 22, local time, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution to include the Chinese New Year as a United Nations holiday. This is exciting news!
China's Spring Festival has been internationally recognized, but our own "experts" are always putting forward some delayed suggestions, such as suggesting that there should be no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve and no guns during the Spring Festival.
In recent years, China's urbanization process has accelerated, and for safety reasons, some cities have strictly prohibited fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year.
Experts advise "not to fire", although somewhat reluctantly, but understandable;But why not have a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve?
We should follow his example.
Moderator Huang An was unafraid to express his opinion on this matter: he bluntly called on some self-proclaimed "experts" to dare to stand up and meet the anger of the people of the whole country if they have good words to persuade them.
Huang An put forward a sharp suggestion on the experts' argument of "environmental protection and carbon reduction", and he believes that these experts should all go to live in the temple, because it is only wise to reduce carbon emissions at the source.
Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, returning to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year is a grand day for Chinese people to reunite. From ancient times to the present, "Chinese New Year's Eve home dinner" has become a traditional custom.
Although Huang An's wording is not appropriate, it expresses the emotions of countless Chinese people, and where does the "not eating minced meat" in the expert's remarks put the migrant workers?
On Chinese New Year's Eve, if the workers do not rest, how can they go home for reunion?Children can't rush back to their hometown to spend the festive season with their parents, so they can only express New Year's wishes to them through **. At this time, are your parents on the TV **Spring Festival Gala, or on the phone screen to talk to you**?
The ancients said that "the sound of firecrackers will say goodbye to the old year", but now that the firing of firecrackers has been banned, it may not be able to really send the old years away.
If the experts' claims are true, even if there are no guns or holidays, parents in some families are likely to face a situation where not only are they not surrounded by the laughter of their children, but they will also see silence outside the window, only the old couple listening to TV alone.
The lively scene that the old couple saw on TV made them feel emotional and fell into each other's eyes.
In the hearts of every Chinese, the status of Chinese New Year's Eve is basically equivalent to the Spring Festival, and although it is not a legal holiday, it is completely inseparable.
Inherit and promote folk culture.
Chinese New Year's Eve is not only a festival of reunion, but also an important moment that can widely promote Chinese folk culture.
Each of the 56 ethnic groups has its own characteristics, each with its own unique traditions. The Han people are usually known for their customs such as making dumplings, keeping the New Year, going to the ancestral graves, and pasting couplets.
The Spring Festival of the Bai nationality actually starts from the thirtieth day of the lunar month and lasts until the sixth day of the first lunar month. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Bai people basically do not sleep lazy, because they have a custom that they start busy pasting couplets early in the morning.
It is worth mentioning that the Bai couplets are usually self-composed. In addition, every family will have a dish that belongs to their national characteristics on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table - "sour and spicy Erhai fish".
The 30th day of the lunar month of the Mongolian people is very stressful, and they usually set aside time to close their eyes and refresh their minds after they are busy making "hand-held meat", because after that they have to stay up all night and wait for the early hours of the morning, and then the younger generation respectfully offers the "New Year's wine" to the elders.
Then, they have to ride their own"War horses", one by one, bow down to the elders of each family to celebrate. It is impossible to imagine how sorry their elders would be if there was no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve and teenagers who went to school or attended classes out of town could not rush home on time.
Tibetans also have performances that are good at singing and dancing, and their must-dance song on Chinese New Year's Eve is "Dancing God Can". According to the recommendation of experienced people who have spent the New Year in **, you must experience such a shocking scene once in your life!
Under the current circumstances, the so-called "cancellation of the Chinese New Year's Eve holiday" by experts in society may not only lead to potential hidden dangers in transportation, but also require investment in human and financial costs to maintain order, which actually does not make much sense.
When it comes to a broader scope, it's simply a fight against the folk culture of fifty-six ethnic groups!
It is advisable for some experts not to make such recommendations in the future, as this will only add to the stigma and will not do them any good.
There is a saying in the entertainment industry: "Black and red are also red", but in the circle of "experts", once they lose power, it is almost impossible to make a comeback!
