As a grand local traditional festival, the Guangxi Cannon Dragon Festival is very lively. However, in the midst of the celebration, an unexpected incident has attracted widespread attention. A man picked up a child and pulled a dragon coat at the Dragon Festival, but unfortunately the dragon dancers mistook it for a provocation and was beaten. This incident not only exposed the potential safety hazards in folk activities, but also triggered thinking about how the law deals with civil disputes.
First, let's be clear: in a society governed by the rule of law, violence is undesirable at all times and in all places. In this case, the assaulter's actions were unlawful, regardless of whether the man deliberately provoked or not. Therefore, the man who was beaten has the right to file a lawsuit to protect his legitimate rights and interests.
So, how will the law deal with such civil disputes? Generally speaking, for civil disputes, the law will make a fair decision based on facts and evidence. If the beaten man decides to file a lawsuit, he needs to provide relevant evidence, such as surveillance footage of the scene, eyewitness testimony, etc., to prove his innocence and the illegality of the other party's beating. The court will conduct the trial on the basis of evidence and relevant legal provisions and render a fair verdict.
However, how can the conflict between law and folklore be resolved when dealing with such civil disputes? As an important part of traditional culture, folk customs have profound historical origins and cultural heritage. But in modern society, the law is the cornerstone of maintaining social order and fairness and justice. Therefore, when dealing with such disputes, it is necessary to balance the relationship between law and folklore. On the one hand, the law should protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties and maintain social order; On the other hand, for some traditional folk activities, the law can appropriately relax restrictions and respect folk customs.
In this case, if the man's act of pulling the dragon coat is regarded as an unlucky provocation in local folklore, then the law needs to fully take into account this folk background when dealing with it. During the trial, the court may organize expert witnesses to testify in court and explain and explain folk customs to help judges better understand the facts of the case. At the same time, the law should investigate the responsibility of those who beat people in accordance with the law and give corresponding punishments, so as to maintain the authority and justice of the law.
In addition, in order to reduce the occurrence of similar disputes, all parties in society should work together. ** The supervision and management of folk activities can be strengthened, and more perfect safety measures and regulations can be formulated; Folklore organizations can strengthen publicity and education to improve participants' awareness and understanding of folklore activities; It can also play the role of supervision and objectively report and comment on similar incidents.
In short, the dispute at the Guangxi Cannon Dragon Festival reminds us that while celebrating folk activities, we must also pay attention to safety and abide by laws and regulations. When dealing with civil disputes, the law needs to fully consider the background of folk customs and customs, so as to balance the interests of all parties.
At the same time, all parties in society should also work together to strengthen supervision and publicity and education to reduce the occurrence of similar incidents. Only in this way can we ensure social harmony, stability, fairness and justice while maintaining traditional culture.
