新年禁燃鞭炮? 中国人奇葩招数炒新年气氛

“爆竹声声除旧岁”,逢年过节华人传统习俗之一就是放鞭炮,在过去,挨家逐户放鞭炮噼噼啪啪声炒热新年气氛,鞭炮放完后一地碎红,衬托的是喜气洋洋的年味。

不过,随着我国蓬勃发展,人口密集组屋林立,显然在社区放鞭炮并不合适也不安全。我国政府在1969年首次出台烟火管理条例,1972年也订立《危险烟火法》,严禁民众使用和拥有烟火,只有特定活动、安全标准等获得许可的情况下,才能使用。

涉及燃放烟火,一旦罪名成立,将面对2000元到1万元不等的罚款,或长达两年监禁,或两者兼施。

还记得去年11月,两名在小印度放鞭炮的人士吗?他们在燃放不久后就被警方逮捕。这是去年小印度地区,有民众为欢庆屠妖节却非法燃放鞭炮的视频:

与此同时,就在两周前,也有一名男子因携带50盒“Pop Pop”炮入境我国,被移民与关卡局查获并没收。

民间随意燃放烟火是违例的,再者稍有不慎就可能引起不幸事故。但是不放鞭炮,有感觉好像少了年味,有者甚至形容,过年不放鞭炮,就好像伦敦少了大本钟一样不搭调。

但是,“上有政策,下有对策”,老百姓总是充满创意克服万难。在中国,虽然不能燃放烟火,但是有民间人士把气球串成一长串,另准备装有牙签或钉子的木板,把气球串往木板一拉,“噼噼啪啪”,虽然没有真实鞭炮那么大声,但是也不失为营造新年气氛的方法。

“气球鞭炮”也为卖气球的礼品店制造新商机,为商家或客户准备长串气球鞭炮,以备新年或庆典活动使用。

虽然不知是谁发明“气球鞭炮”,但气球鞭炮相对安全,也能仿效爆竹声,不会产生空气污染问题。

不过也有人认为这种方法也不算环保,因为放完后地面就会残留许多气球塑胶碎片,要清理起来也很麻烦。

在几年前,中国也有生产“电子鞭炮”和“气压鞭炮”等等,但是开了电听着广播机传来预录好的鞭炮声,仍让人感觉怪怪的,没那么“真实”,再者成本和售价上都比较昂贵。

但是要说创意也不是中国同胞专有,我国也有人突发奇想,以长串的塑胶气泡袋代替传统鞭炮。

在一段相信是两年前录制与Bosch Rexroth公司的视频,可见两大长串塑胶气泡袋平行铺在地上,当一辆叉式起重机行驶碾过,就发出“噼噼啪啪”声响,模仿传统鞭炮声音。“鞭炮”放完了,员工同僚就一起捞生迎接新年。
