Why should firecrackers be set off during the Spring Festival?
Setting off firecrackers is said to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year, which means a beautiful yearning for the new year.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a fierce monster called Nian, which was in the deep sea all the year round, but at the turn of the old and the new, it came out to trample on crops and hurt people and animals, and the people complained bitterly. Once it went to the village to do evil again and was scared away by the red clothes hanging at the door. When I arrived at another place, I was scared by the lights and ran around. So people have mastered the weakness of Nian's fear of sound, red and fire. At the end of each year, people put up red couplets at home, set off firecrackers and hang red lights, burn firewood in the yard, and chop vegetables and meat with kitchen knives, making a noise.

Why are firecrackers all red?
According to legend, in ancient times, our ancestors were threatened by one of the fiercest beasts. This beast is called Nian. It catches all kinds of animals as food. In winter, when there is a lack of food in the mountains, it will break into villages and hunt people and animals, and the people will be scared all day long. People have struggled with Nian for many years, and people find that Nian is afraid of three things, red color, fire and noise. So in winter, people hang red boards on their doors, light a fire at the door, stay up all night and knock at the door. That night, Nian broke into the village, saw every household glowing with red light, and heard a deafening noise. He ran back to the mountains in fear and never came out. As the night passed, people congratulated each other and celebrated the victory by decorating, drinking and feasting.
To commemorate this victory, every family will stick red paper couplets on their doors, light lanterns, bang gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers and fireworks at this time of winter. At night, vigil all night; The next day, I congratulated each other early in the morning. This has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become a "New Year".
