Fireworks and firecrackers are integral to Chinese New Year celebrations. This tradition dates back to ancient times, believed to scare away evil spirits like Nian, a mythical beast. On New Year’s Eve, fireworks light up the sky, creating a spectacular display. The loud noises and bright sparks symbolize the start of a fresh, joyous year. Although modern environmental concerns have reduced their use in some areas, fireworks remain a cherished symbol of celebration and prosperity during the Spring Festival.
