What do you think of the "bad" customs of the Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival is one of China's most important traditional festivals, which inevitably comes with some "bad" customs. Although these customs are somewhat outdated, they carry people's aspirations for a better life and the continuation of traditional culture.

One of them is firecrackers. Although setting off firecrackers may cause environmental pollution and safety hazards, it is one of the ways Chinese folk celebrate festivals and represents a festive atmosphere that expels evil and welcomes the New Year. We can improve this custom by increasing environmental awareness and using harmless alternatives.

Another bad custom is gambling. Gambling not only tends to lead to financial problems, but may also cause family strife and social problems. Therefore, we should promote healthy forms of entertainment, such as playing board games or engaging in friendly competitions, as an alternative to gambling behavior.

Overall, although there are certain dregs in some of the customs of the Spring Festival, we should preserve the traditional cultural values in them through improvements and innovations, and find more scientific, safe and environmentally friendly ways to celebrate this important festival.
