People set off firecrackers in the spring festival out of superstition, believing that firecrackers can ward off evil spirits, avoid pestilence and protect the family's safety and good luck. There is also an interesting legend about setting off firecrackers.
I'm afraid many people will think of a monster called "Nian" because of the need to set off firecrackers during the new year.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a fierce monster called Nian. It was in the deep sea all the year round, but at the turn of the new year, it came out to trample on the strong crops and hurt people and animals. The people cried bitterly.
Once it ran to the village again and was scared away by the red clothes hanging at the door of a family. At another place, he was scared by the lights.
So people have mastered the weakness of "Nian" to be afraid of voice, red and fire. At the end of each year, people stick red couplets, set off firecrackers and hang red lights at the door of their homes.
