As the main force of square dance, the aunts in China have devoted unprecedented enthusiasm to this cause.
At a fixed time and place every day, I get together with my good sisters to dance and organize outdoor activities on holidays, almost every day, rain or shine.
Why are the aunts in China so keen on square dancing?
In fact, square dancing is nothing more than two reasons-killing time and exercising at the same time.
These aunts usually retire at home, do housework and cook by the way.
In Chongqing, because of the existence of "rake ears", the housework at home is basically contracted by men, which gives aunts more free time.
With nothing to do, square dancing has become the best way for aunts to kill time. Moreover, outdoor sports such as square dance are also extremely beneficial to health.
At the same time, because there are many people involved, everyone can chat with each other, and parents' stories and trivia can be the best conversation materials to enrich their lives.
From this point of view, dancing square dance can be said to be a good thing. But in real life, the contradictions caused by square dance will continue to appear.
People who dance square dance entertain themselves every day, and their lives are colorful. But because it is in an outdoor public place, square dance is also prone to conflict with others.
Previously, the media reported many similar situations, because people from both sides clashed and even moved hands in public space. There are also a large number of square dance groups, because the music played is too loud, which has caused trouble to the surrounding residents.
Many of these problems are only individual cases, but it is undeniable that conflicts are easy to occur between square dance groups and ordinary people.
Recently, the Legal Affairs Committee of Chongqing Municipal People's Congress made a specific report on the "Regulations on Promoting Civilized Behavior in Chongqing (Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), including the provisions on square dance-singing and dancing and other cultural and recreational activities, rational use of venues and facilities, and no intrusion on others.
It is clearly pointed out in the Regulations that cultural and recreational activities such as square dance shall not hinder others from using venues and equipment. And this just corresponds to the above-mentioned site disputes and noise disturbing people.
The clarity of relevant regulations will really help everyone solve the problem of square dance, but more needs to rely on everyone's communication and mutual understanding.
After retirement, aunts actively participate in exercise and even choreograph beautiful group dances, which can also bring you visual enjoyment. It is normal to dance square dance.
And we ordinary people sometimes need space for public activities and a quiet rest environment, which is not too much to ask.
If the two sides fully communicate and understand, this matter will not be a problem.
At the same time, we can also see that the aunts have taken the initiative to make some adjustments. Before, there were some square dance troupes, all wearing wireless headphones to dance square dance, and there was no music outside.
In addition, during the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination every year, aunts will also take the initiative to stop dancing square dance, giving candidates a quiet study and rest space.
At the same time, square dance is not only the patent of aunts, but also some young groups have begun to participate in it. They have infected and changed it with their own vitality. All of the above fully shows that square dance can live in harmony with the public.
