Should the customs of the Spring Festival be inherited?

The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, and the various folk customs during the Spring Festival add to the festive atmosphere. However, some people believe that folk customs such as setting off firecrackers and giving New Year's money are bad and should not be preserved. Personally, I don't think such a statement is appropriate. ...... The reason why I say so is because the New Year's firecrackers can best reflect the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, giving New Year's money reflects the care of the elders to the younger generation, and the folklore itself does not have the problem of dregs, the key to reasonable moderation of these three reasons.

1, New Year's firecrackers can best reflect the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and therefore do not belong to the dregs.

If what is the most characteristic folklore during the Spring Festival, then there is nothing better than firecrackers. As the saying goes, "the sound of firecrackers is the beginning of the year", setting off fireworks and firecrackers is the folklore that best reflects the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and it is the most distinctive feature that exists, so we can't simply think of this folklore as dross. Therefore, the folk custom of setting off firecrackers in the Spring Festival should be preserved.

2, to give the new year's money reflects the elders of the care of the younger generation, the same is not bad.

On New Year's Day, the younger generation pays tribute to the elder generation, and the elder generation gives the younger generation new year's money. Such folklore has a long history, fully embodies the elders to the care of the younger generation, is very conducive to the communication between the relatives of a good way of feeling. ...... Because of this, the New Year's Eve to the pressure money does not belong to the dregs, the same should be retained.

3, folklore itself does not have the problem of dross, the key is to implement the time to be reasonable and moderate.

In fact, folklore is a traditional habit formed over a long period of time, and there is no problem of dross in itself. The key point here is to grasp the principle of reasonable moderation when implementing it. ...... Specifically, if the behavior of setting off firecrackers during the New Year is not reasonably controlled, it may bring about a lot of problems. Another example is the issue of giving New Year's money. If the amount of New Year's money is too large, many problems will likewise arise. It is precisely because of these problems that some people consider these two folk customs to be bad. ...... But if we set off firecrackers in a reasonable and moderate manner, and give the New Year's money in a reasonable and moderate manner, we can avoid the problems, and these two kinds of folklore will not only not be dregs, but also play a positive role in making our Spring Festival happier and more joyful. Therefore, we must analyze this issue comprehensively, rather than generalizing.
