What are modern civilization and traditional customs?

China is an ancient human civilization, with a glorious /0123456 traditional culture and a wide variety of traditional customs. In the process of accelerating the integration of our country into the world's civilization, I wonder if you have ever thought about how many of our traditional customs need to be changed in the face of modern civilization.

This kind of thinking touched me from the past Dragon Boat Festival. Two years ago, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, my daughter's school carried out an essay activity on the theme of protecting the environment, and I guided my daughter to "change the bad habits in our lives" as the theme, on the Dragon Boat Festival, gripping mugwort, Qingming Festival, burning paper money and other customs bring harm to the discussion. My daughter's article won a prize, which made me feel that the gardeners of my daughter's alma mater and more people have begun to calmly analyze and understand the relationship between traditional customs and modern civilization. As a result of this event, my wife, my daughter and I no longer do this kind of thing gripping mugwort.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, I woke up early and found that people are still happy to weed Artemisia, I live in a small town with a resident population of nearly 60,000 people, let's say 40,000 people, each person pulling 5 stalks of Artemisia (which is definitely a conservative estimate), every square meter of growth of Artemisia 100 calculated that there will be 2,000 square meters of vegetation on the land to be pulled up by the roots. The uprooted artemisia used to be used to smoke mosquitoes, but now most of them are discarded, becoming a customary waste.

And then to the Dragon Boat Festival, peach branches destroyed trees, Qingming Festival, burning paper money caused by fire, the Spring Festival, fireworks and firecrackers injuries and destruction of property, a long history of burials occupy a large amount of land, etc., the harm is even greater. Dangerous is dangerous, harmful also harmful, but why can not we completely change these traditional customs contrary to modern civilization?

Human society is in the inheritance and abandonment in the gradual progress towards civilization, it is now time to reflect on what inheritance? The first thing you need to know is what you're going to be able to do. Traditional customs that hinder the pace of civilization and affect people's lives should be replaced by new fashions and laws. In this process, in addition to the compulsion of the law, it is more necessary for people to use the power of reason and science to decide to inherit or abandon. The author sincerely hope that more and more people no longer sit and talk, but physical behavior.
