2023-02-14

A red floating float was slowly driving in the crowd. Five children in ancient costumes interacted with the crowd on a circular platform that was not spacious. People crowded on both sides of the float. People applauded from time to time. Suddenly, the weather suddenly changed, the pole of the float broke, and the round platform at the top suddenly turned over, Five performing children fell from the float in the wake of people's exclamations... This heartrending scene happened the day before the Lantern Festival. On February 4, Jingsi Village, Doumen Street, Xixian New District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, had an accident while playing the social fire "making the Lantern Festival". Five children fell down because of the broken pole of the float. On February 6, the staff of Doumen Sub-district Office responded to the media that the accident was true, and said that the five children had been kept in hospital for observation and were in stable physical condition. At present, the police have intervened in the investigation, and the local community fire activities have also been stopped. In recent years, accidents have occasionally occurred in traditional folk activities. This accident has attracted much attention because it involves many children. Netizens have questioned why such folk activities "must be attended by children"? Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, pointed out in a recent interview with the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily that the accident should arouse multiple vigilance, and any traditional folk activities should not exceed the legal red line. For some folk activities that are prone to potential risks, local laws and regulations should be considered to regulate. With the continuous optimization and adjustment of the epidemic policy, the rural community fire activities that have been silent for several years have been restarted in the first month. On the major short video platforms, the videos of local community fire activities have been constantly "out of the circle". "Shehuo" is an ancient Chinese folk grand carnival and annual festival celebration that pray for grain harvest and sacrifice to the land, including gongs and drums, cores, stilts, bamboo horses, dry boats, lion dances, dragon yangko and other forms. Along with all kinds of social fire performance videos, various "social fire dolls" who participated in the performance also attracted onlookers all over the network because of their cute and funny appearance. While praising the cute and brave children, how to ensure their safety in the performance also affects the hearts of netizens. Such worries are not unreasonable. In a video of the Shehuo performance in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, on February 5, three children played Guanyin and two boys respectively, and were held in the air by a long wooden stick. During the performance, the three children fell asleep in the air and swayed freely with the float below. Many netizens said that children are not like adults. Their self-control and coordination in the performance are difficult to control. They are prone to sleep and fight in the air, and the risk factor is too high. Coincidentally, on February 6, in Songxian County, Henan Province, a performer in costume stepped on stilts, and a cute baby about two years old stood on a thin stick extending from the top of his hat. The child's body moved from side to side with the steps of the stilt walker, and his eyes looked around curiously... Many netizens who watched the video were "sweating" for the child. The performer and stilts were several meters high, and the child was still held high by the stick. If he fell, The consequences are unimaginable. In response, the curator of Song County Cultural Museum said that the project is an old tradition that has been handed down for thousands of years - "old county back clothing",
