The 2024 Spring Festival "cancels" Xi, farmers are in a heavy mood!
A cannon rang out, and the whole city was shaken. The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums are intertwined, like a vivid and extraordinary picture. Setting off fireworks has always been a necessary ritual for Chinese to celebrate the New Year, with the implication of warding off evil spirits and avoiding evil. However, with the development of society and the requirements of environmental protection, the Xi of setting off fireworks may be abolished during the Spring Festival in 2024. This is undoubtedly sad news for many farmers.
Recalling the scene of Chinese New Year's Eve when he was a child, Uncle Li's eyes moistened. He told me that he was from the village"Old urchin", I always like to set off firecrackers with my children during the Chinese New Year. As soon as the firecrackers go off, they will laugh and play with the wooden ** and swords they have made. Now, it's all a memory. Uncle Li couldn't help but say with emotion"Don't set off firecrackers during the New Year, it's like a funeral! Our village has a history of 100 years, and setting off firecrackers has become our cultural tradition. It's a shame to cancel it all of a sudden! In the face of Uncle Li's sadness, I can't help but empathize.
Firecrackers are a traditional Xi that has been popular for thousands of years. They are the testimony of the Chinese nation's cultural spirit of driving away disasters and welcoming the new. However, the reality is that problems are starting to arise. The strong noise and air pollution caused by firecrackers have caused widespread concern. People should not only think about the happiness of the present, but also the environment and the health of future generations. Therefore, banning firecrackers has become an inevitable trend.
However, many people believe that banning firecrackers is tantamount to denying our traditional culture. They fear that when firecrackers are no longer set off during the Chinese New Year, our traditions will gradually disappear. In this regard, I believe that we cannot cling to outdated traditions or blindly pursue modernization. We have to find a balance between innovating and growing while maintaining tradition. For example, we can hold various eco-friendly celebrations, such as singing, dancing, lion dance, etc., which not only preserve the culture, but also protect the environment, so as to replace fireworks.
In addition to fireworks, the temple fair in our village is also facing"Close"The fate. In the past, every Spring Festival, the temple fair was the most lively place, and the villagers flocked to the place, crowded the alleys, and the noisy scene gave people a strong New Year's flavor. However, as time went on, more and more problems arose at the temple fair. With the influx of foreign traders and hawkers, the problem of law and order has become increasingly serious, and social order has been affected. As a result, many villagers called for a ban on temple fairs.
In the memories of many old people, the temple fair is a good memory. Uncle Zhang told me that when he was a child, the annual temple fair was the moment he looked forward to the most, the colorful snacks and lanterns attracted him, and he would only come home when his father came to pick him up. However, times are changing, society is progressing, and we must adapt to these changes. The problem with the temple fair is understandable, and we can celebrate the New Year in other ways, such as organizing our own theatrical evening in the village, which is lively and safe and hygienic.
In short, people have different views on traditional Xi. Some believe that it should be retained, while others think it is outdated. In my opinion, traditional Xi is a treasure of our nation and a bond of national cohesion, which should be valued and inherited. However, we must also face the problems brought about by Xi and seek coordinated solutions. Only in this way can we promote the development of society while passing on traditions.
Finally, I hope that the Spring Festival will become more and more prosperous, so that everyone can feel the joy of the festival and the warmth of the party. Whether it is fireworks or temple fairs, they are all part of our New Year and our common memory. Let's work together to protect our traditional culture and not let it disappear over time. May every Spring Festival become a good memory, and may everyone find their own happiness in the Spring Festival.
