What are the dross customs in the Spring Festival?

During the Spring Festival, although there are many beautiful traditional customs, there are also some dross customs. Below I will list some common dross customs and attach relevant pictures.

1. Setting off firecrackers: In the past, firecrackers were used to drive away evil spirits, but now with the enhancement of environmental awareness, setting off firecrackers has become an unpopular custom. Picture:

2. Comparison of red envelopes: During the Spring Festival, red envelopes are a traditional way to express blessings and care. However, some people will turn red envelopes into a tool for comparison and compete to show off the amount of red envelopes they send. This kind of behavior violates the original intention of blessing mutual assistance and reunion during the Spring Festival. Picture:

3. Gambling: Some people like to participate in gambling activities during the Spring Festival, which is not only illegal, but also easy to lead to family breakdown and property losses. Picture:

4. Crowding home: The Spring Festival is one of the biggest migration phenomena in China, and many people choose to go home for the Spring Festival. However, due to traffic jams and tight train tickets, some people will choose to squeeze cars home, which may lead to traffic accidents and physical discomfort. Picture:

5. Waste of food: New Year's Eve is an important activity during the Spring Festival. However, some people will buy too much food, leading to waste. Picture:

Although these dross customs exist, we should pay more attention to the beauty and cultural connotation of the Spring Festival tradition and create a harmonious and warm holiday atmosphere.
