Original title: Bans on fireworks and firecrackers must be humane
In recent years, in order to improve environmental quality, some local governments have adopted a series of measures, including the “ban on fireworks and firecrackers”, which has promoted the improvement of air quality. However, some places have adopted strict measures such as blanket bans. , and social responses have been mixed. The author believes that, based on tradition, the treatment of fireworks should conform from ban to ban, and related support work should be done scientifically, including optimizing the timing and scope of the ban, promoting the prohibition, and the optimization of the policy to guide citizens to be scientific and effective, fire fireworks and firecrackers in an orderly manner, promote technological innovation in start-up, and reduce the impact on the environment.
As the Spring Festival approaches, people are looking forward to the New Year, but due to the epidemic, many homeless people this year chose to celebrate the New Year at the venue and their feelings for their hometown have deepened. In the hearts of most people, to have a tasteful New Year, in addition to family gatherings and a table full of New Year’s Eve dinners, bursts of firecrackers and bright fireworks displays are also an important part.
According to the textual research of historians, the firecrackers originated from the “explosive sacrifice” that existed in the pre-Qin period. In the Song dynasty, Wang Anshi once wrote that “the sound of firecrackers will wipe out one year old, and the spring breeze will bring warmth to the Tusu.” In the Ming Dynasty, Qu You also wrote that “smallpox blooms in the middle of countless months, and the five auspicious clouds surround Jiangtai.” All these descriptions show that lighting fireworks during the Spring Festival is an old tradition of the nation. China.
Recently, many people asked on the message board of the local official website if fireworks can be lit during the Spring Festival. It is understandable that local governments formulate specific policies based on regional characteristics, but the introduction of measures must take into account the feelings of the people and national traditions and cultural heritage. The author believes that allowing people to set off fireworks and firecrackers appropriately during the Spring Festival can preserve the memory and nostalgia of the Spring Festival, and should not be “forbidden.”
According to tradition, the treatment of fireworks and firecrackers must be adjusted from prohibition to prohibition, and the related support work must be done scientifically.
One is to optimize the timing and scope of the ban. Once the ban has been adjusted to the ban, it is recommended to allow it to be activated on New Years Eve and the Lantern Festival during the Spring Festival, or on special days and times established by local conventions. The scope of the ban is considered to be primarily urban areas or environmentally sensitive areas. In vast rural areas, discharge is “safe first.”
The second is to do a good job of propaganda and guidance for the ban. Fully publicize the impact of fireworks and firecrackers in a popular way so that the public knows that although fireworks and firecrackers are a tradition and must be broadcast, environmental pollution and safety accidents caused by Fireworks should not be ignored, and guide the people scientifically and orderly.
The third is to optimize targeting through policy adjustments. Many places have adopted very strict prohibition measures. In addition to considering environmental impact and safety considerations, responding to assessments at the national or provincial level is also an important factor. Therefore, we can also explore to further optimize the atmospheric environmental quality data evaluation mechanism and learn from the country’s practice of eliminating the impact of sand and dust in the process of evaluation, valuation and classification of the ambient air quality of cities in the prefecture. level and above, and also for special periods such as the Spring Festival, remove them to address local concerns.
The fourth is to promote technological innovation of fireworks and firecrackers. In the traditional sense, fireworks and firecrackers will produce a large amount of pollutants after they are activated, which has a significant impact on the environment. We must vigorously promote the technological innovation of fireworks and firecrackers, so that people can set them off with ease and comfort, minimizing the impact on the environment.
