Retell
With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas,some traditions may fade away and others may be established.One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.
