The long-simmering adjustment of legal holidays in China was announced on June 8th. 165438+. The main adjustment plan is: cancel the "May 1" Golden Week and change it to a holiday; Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival will be added as legal holidays. The proposal to increase Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays has been widely supported, and is considered as a concrete manifestation of respecting public opinion and putting people first. However, the public has different opinions on the retention or abolition of the May Day Golden Week.

The "May Day" Golden Week has been implemented for decades, and the advantages and disadvantages reflected in the long process are also obvious. Although the long vacation has brought people a good opportunity to adjust their lives, it has also played an effective role in stimulating economic growth and promoting consumption, but the negative effects brought by the long vacation are increasingly apparent: the quality of service enjoyed by consumers during the long vacation has dropped significantly, the management cost of public utilities has increased, natural landscapes and historical and cultural relics have been seriously damaged, and the "holiday syndrome" has led to a general decline in people's work efficiency. From this point of view, the holiday adjustment scheme also meets the needs of real life and economic development. Increasing the holiday of folk festivals is also conducive to carrying forward and inheriting national traditional culture, increasing the influence of national culture and resisting the invasion and infiltration of foreign cultures.

However, it is understandable that the Golden Week holiday, which has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, was suddenly cancelled. During the "May Day" period, it is a good season that is neither too hot nor too cold at the turn of spring and summer. During this holiday, it is very pleasant for people to get together and travel with relatives and friends. After the adjustment, "May Day" was changed to a small holiday, and it was basically impossible to travel long distances. Those relatives and friends who live far apart can only "forget to make friends and sigh." In addition, the cancellation of the May Day holiday will increase the travel pressure during the National Day and the Spring Festival, and people's enthusiasm for traveling and visiting relatives will break out during the National Day and the Spring Festival. The already busy transportation system in China will be overwhelmed and it will be more difficult to travel!

In any case, it is a foregone conclusion to cancel the "May 1" Golden Week, and its advantages and disadvantages have yet to be tested by practice.
