What do ordinary citizens think about whether fireworks and firecrackers should be burned during the Spring Festival?

There are many high-rise buildings in cities, which are not suitable for setting off fireworks and firecrackers. Relevant departments during the Spring Festival may consider letting citizens put them in open and spacious places to enhance the festive atmosphere.

The custom of setting off fireworks and firecrackers originated from the farming era, which implied people's desire to ward off evil spirits at that time, and adapted to the sparsely populated and scattered living conditions at that time, which really added a lot of lively and festive atmosphere to the festival. However, in the era of industrial civilization, the population is concentrated and there are many high-rise buildings. It is obviously out of date to set off fireworks and firecrackers in such a big environment.

In the folk custom of Chinese New Year, setting off fireworks and firecrackers is just one of many cultural symbols, and the smell of fireworks and firecrackers is not equal to the smell of the year. Without fireworks, we can hang red lanterns, put up New Year pictures, visit temple fairs, watch movies, and set off electronic firecrackers, which is both lively and safe.

Extended information:

Although China officials have not explicitly prohibited the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, they have advised people not to set off or set off less fireworks and firecrackers through TV, radio, SMS and WeChat. Survey reports in Shanghai, Changchun and other places show that more than 6% of the respondents expressed their willingness to abandon the old custom of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival to protect air quality.

many businesses are also aiming at the festive and environmentally-friendly "electronic fireworks" business opportunities. This kind of "fireworks" is environmentally friendly, safe, gunpowder-free, and can be repeatedly "set off", and the sound and flash are very similar to traditional firecrackers.
