Recently, Shen Chunyao, director of the Legislative Affairs Committee 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 2023 filing and review work, and in the statement that the provisions of the relevant local regulations on the comprehensive prohibition of the sale and discharge of fireworks and firecrackers are inconsistent with the relevant provisions of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law and the Regulations on the Safety Management of Fireworks and Firecrackers;With 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.
The ban on fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival seems to be a small matter, but it reflects that there are many deficiencies in the formulation and implementation of laws and regulations, in the self-confidence of emergency management capabilities, in the practice of cultural self-confidence and in promoting the improvement of the city's style.
A ban on burning reflects the "capriciousness" of power when formulating local rules and regulations in some places. When formulating local rules and regulations, they did not study the spirit and original intent of national laws and regulations, and did not properly implement the responsibilities and abilities of their own work.
A ban on burning reflects the lack of self-confidence in the emergency management capabilities of some places. The reason "in order to prevent noise and air pollution" put forward in the first fire ban document in many places can not withstand careful scrutiny. Is it that there is no detailed plan, or that there is a lack of emergency management capabilities?
The ban on burning reflects the lack of public opinion in social governance. As the most valued festival in traditional Chinese festivals, the common people are happy after a busy year, why not?Isn't attaching importance to the emotional demands of the masses of the people a part of putting the people first?
The ban on burning reflects whether there is confidence in Chinese culture. Fireworks and firecrackers, blooming in poetry confessions, splendid in the important festivals of life. Shouldn't we be respectful of our holiday culture?Shouldn't you be confident in the inheritance of traditional culture?
The ban reflects whether the city really pays attention to its soft power. During the Spring Festival in 2023, tens of thousands of Nanyang citizens crossed 138 kilometers and poured into the Hubei Xiangyang Overseas Chinese Town Fantasy Resort, which made people sigh "Nanyang makes money Xiangyang flowers". However, the subsequent Lantern Festival fireworks show in Nanyang City was popular out of the circle and received rave reviews, and many major projects such as OCT were ushered in in the subsequent time. Isn't that the best proof of a city's soft power?
Top commentators think,Let the masses set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, and the local government will not only "not lose face", but on the contrary, this thing will be done "very faced". When the people have demands, they actively look for ways to crack them, rather than "banning them", which is the supremacy of the people, respect for the law, and the right way to build local soft power.
