What dross customs should be abandoned during the Chinese New Year?

Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, but in the process of celebration, there are also some unreasonable or dross customs. First of all, we should abandon the custom of setting off firecrackers. Although setting off firecrackers can increase the festive atmosphere, it will produce huge noise and environmental pollution, which is gradually out of date for the development of urbanization and the improvement of environmental awareness.

Secondly, we should abandon the custom of extravagance and waste. During the traditional Chinese New Year, some families will pursue extravagance and waste, such as buying a lot of fireworks, ingredients and gifts, which is not in line with the traditional virtue of thrift and wastes resources.

Besides, we should abandon the habit of smoking, drinking and gambling. Alcohol, tobacco and gambling often become the fuse of family disputes and social instability, which not only wastes money, but also easily leads to quarrels and criminal acts, which has a negative impact on personal physical and mental health and social stability.

We should advocate a healthy, civilized and environmentally friendly way to celebrate the New Year. For example, you can choose to hold cultural performances, cultural activities and gatherings of relatives and friends to share happiness and warmth. This can not only inherit excellent traditional culture, but also create a harmonious social atmosphere.
