What are the dross customs during the Spring Festival?

* * What are the dross customs of the Spring Festival? **

Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, but there are also some dross customs. Although these customs may reflect people's traditional ideas and cultural habits to some extent, they are not suitable or even outdated in modern society. The following are some examples of dross customs during the Spring Festival:

1. Setting off firecrackers: Although setting off firecrackers is a traditional way to exorcise evil spirits and celebrate the New Year, it also brings serious noise pollution and security risks. In addition, firecrackers will also produce a lot of smoke and waste, polluting the environment.

2. Burning paper money: Some people think that burning paper money can pay homage to ancestors and the dead and bring them good luck. However, this practice will cause air pollution and fire risk, and waste a lot of resources.

3. Gambling activities: In some places, gambling is regarded as a traditional entertainment activity during the Spring Festival. However, gambling is not only illegal, but also leads to family breakdown, property loss and social instability.

4. Overeating: During the Spring Festival, people tend to overeat high-calorie and high-fat foods, which may lead to health problems, such as obesity and indigestion.

5. Crowded scenic spots: During the Spring Festival, many scenic spots will be extremely crowded because of the sea of people, which will bring great inconvenience and security risks to tourists and local residents.

Although these dross customs are related to China culture and tradition to some extent, we should gradually abandon those customs that are not conducive to environmental protection, social stability and personal health, and advocate a healthier, safer and more environmentally friendly Spring Festival.
