Introduction: "Another year is gone with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tu Su." During festivals, in many places, especially in rural areas, setting off fireworks and firecrackers is a way to celebrate the New Year, and it also adds a lot of fun to the childhood of many children. But do you know why we set off firecrackers during the Spring Festival? What is its origin? Please see the article below for specific content! A year's plan begins with spring, and the Spring Festival is an important traditional festival of ours. Do you want to know more about the Spring Festival? Come and take a look at the Spring Festival special topic carefully prepared by Mr. Shui Mo! Lunar New Year's Day, commonly known as "New Year's Day". People get up early to set off firecrackers. It is said that this is to drive away "mandrills". It is said that the mandrill was a vicious one-horned monster that lived in the mountains in ancient times. However, it was most afraid of noise, so people used the explosion of burning bamboo to scare it away. After the invention of gunpowder, people loaded gunpowder into bamboo tubes to make firecrackers, and later used paper tubes, also known as firecrackers or cannonballs. In modern times, people no longer believe in "mandrills", but they still have the habit of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival to celebrate the festival and boost morale. Therefore, from the night of New Year’s Eve to the early morning of New Year’s Day, the sound of firecrackers is always continuous. In recent years, the craftsmanship of firecrackers and fireworks has become more sophisticated, and many new varieties have been created, adding to the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival. After eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the New Year, the younger generation must pay New Year’s greetings to the elders, bowing and kowtowing. The elders give the younger generations “lucky money”. When meeting on the street, people usually say auspicious words like "Congratulations on your prosperity" and "Happy New Year". If there are any disagreements among neighbors, they will take this opportunity to resolve the differences. The fifth day of the first lunar month is called "Po Wu". People invite each other to banquets before and after "Po Wu" to express their intimacy and friendly coexistence in order to enhance friendship.

I hope everyone can understand it and feel the charm of our traditional culture! |
