Now, however, setting off firecrackers has become a controversial issue. I have to sigh the influence of the times on tradition. In today's era when the slogan of "low-carbon environmental protection, urban greening" prevails, firecrackers have become an obstacle to the appearance of the city and even the life of citizens. First of all, the smoke produced by firecrackers will release a lot of harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, which are easy to produce acid rain and corrode urban buildings, thus affecting people's health. Secondly, the discharge process will produce noise, which will not only damage our hearing, but also affect our cardiovascular system. In addition, it is easy to cause injury accidents. Many people left immediately after setting off firecrackers, and the residue of firecrackers that had been completely set off was not cleaned up in time. Carelessness can easily lead to fire and endanger the health of children playing on the roadside. Making firecrackers is also a waste of money and resources, and the process of making firecrackers is even more dangerous.
To sum up, setting off firecrackers is really unwise for modern cities. In addition to giving a certain symbol in meaning, it has not left any benefits in real life. There are many ways to celebrate festivals, and you don't have to set off firecrackers. Many netizens who support setting off firecrackers in cities said that setting off firecrackers is a custom in China, and the custom cannot be changed at will. Tradition can be passed down to this day, and it must have its significance. But at the same time, customs can also progress with the times. Since setting off firecrackers does more harm than good to the whole society, why do you insist on such a bad custom? There are many ways to celebrate the Spring Festival, such as posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off lanterns and setting off firecrackers. Of course, we can also keep the tradition of setting off firecrackers in other ways. For example, electronic firecrackers, which are now popular, can't see the real thing only through sound; There are also environmentally friendly firecrackers that are still being developed. The most important thing in the Spring Festival is the reunion of family and friends, celebrating the beginning of the new year and expressing blessings to people. As long as everyone can get together and feel happy, the way to celebrate is not so important.
Some cities have banned firecrackers or called for reducing them. The pollution caused by firecrackers is actually more related to people's quality. Some people are not careful when choosing the place, which leads to firecrackers and scraps of paper everywhere; Some people are irresponsible and don't put out the open flame after the fire, which leads to the fire. Solving the problem of setting off firecrackers requires the strong guidance of relevant departments. Not only government departments should strengthen management, but also legal publicity departments should strengthen supervision and publicity. We should even change people's thinking and guide them to protect the environment.
Setting off firecrackers used to be a festive act, but if it is increasingly criticized by people, then we should restore its good impression in the past. We can neither make this tradition disappear nor make it harmful to the masses. I believe that society is progressing, and a good solution will be found to the problem of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival.
