Why should firecrackers be set off during the Spring Festival?

Meet the keeper! Attention, fairies from all walks of life, it's time to eat. Come in together.

That's probably it!

Then I'm afraid of Nian beast when I eat, so I should put it before eating to ward off evil spirits, hehe.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a monster named Nian suddenly appeared in the world. Whenever the new year comes, it will eat people down the mountain, so when the new year approaches, people will move to the foot of the mountain to avoid disaster. At the same time, a strange thing happened

Once, a beggar was begging when he went down the mountain in 2006. He saw a family brightly lit. It turned out that the family was packing up and preparing to run down the hill. Seeing someone, the beggar quickly begged, "Please give me something to eat?" "We are all in danger. I advise you to run for your life! " "Please, I'm so hungry." The beggar's voice became more miserable at this time. "all right." The hostess is a little soft-hearted. She quickly brought some snacks from the house and said to the beggar, "Run for your life, Nian beast will come soon."

Just then, Nian beast came, and the hostess quickly slipped into the house and hid. However, the fierce year turned the house upside down and approached the hostess step by step. Suddenly, I don't know where there was a "crackling" sound, and I saw beggars desperately setting off fireworks. Nian beast didn't know what it was and ran away in fear. The news that Nian beast was afraid of fireworks spread immediately, and the villagers returned home in succession. Therefore, whenever the New Year comes, people will set off fireworks to ensure the safety of the New Year.
