One of the most touching things about the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon is the fireworks explosion vs local fireworks ban regulations.
From the night of Chinese New Year's Eve to the night of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, fireworks and firecrackers are set off one after another in the urban area, releasing the blessing of many people during the Spring Festival. This situation has occurred under the repeated reiteration of the ban on fireworks and firecrackers in urban areas by the local government, and it is worth noting that there has not been a single urban management law enforcement officer to investigate and punish violations of the regulations.
The above phenomenon is worth considering. **Among them, there are the following:
First, there is no doubt that fireworks and firecrackers have caused serious environmental pollution, as well as injuries to individual personnel, and fires have occurred. This is also the original intention of the local ban on fireworks and firecrackers. The introduction of the policy is rational and scientific.
Second, fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival are part of traditional Chinese culture, and many people wish to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, which is a way for many people to release themselves. In recent years, the strict control of the epidemic and the severe situation of income reduction caused by the economic downturn have further strengthened people's desire to release themselves.
Third, the implementation of the policy requires strict investigation and punishment of law enforcement actions. In the face of a high incidence of violations, it requires huge human, time, and financial costs. And in the face of people's suppressed public opinion in recent years, law enforcement is even more timid, and even hesitant.
Fourth, it is a more important point that many people are self-centered, in order to violate public morality, the cost of punishment for violations and crimes is low, the probability is low, the cost of law enforcement is high, and the difficulty is great, trampling on social morality, despising laws and regulations, contempt for the law, and dare to defy the law to seek personal excess interests and dominate the general public. This is the core essence of market culture, which is regarded by many people as a guideline and a criterion for life. The cultural genes in this are the driving force behind the ban on fireworks and firecrackers, and the fireworks reflect the red sky.
The author would like to remind that there are deep-seated connotations in exploring the above-mentioned phenomena, and there is also the value of warning and comparison for the reality that the anti-corruption situation that people are vigilant against is still grim.
