When is the best time to set off firecrackers on the first day of the first month?

Generally, firecrackers are set off on the morning of the first day of junior high school 12, which means to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

On New Year's Day, the cannon is called "open the door", also called "open the door". As the saying goes, "As soon as the cannon is opened, the God of Wealth will come", which is also a kind of joy and good luck. With the firing, there is bound to be a "closing gun", which closes the door after the shooting on New Year's Eve. The moral of this is that wealth does not flow out, and the money earned last year can stay at home. The sooner you set off firecrackers on New Year's Day, the more auspicious it is. Because "opening the door" welcomes wealth and good fortune, everyone is scrambling to welcome happiness into the door early and receive wealth at home.

Firecrackers should be set off in the air with bamboo poles or wooden sticks, not thrown on the ground like "rolling earthworms" Setting off firecrackers is to welcome the arrival of the New Year and is a symbol of celebration, so the best time is 12 in the middle of New Year's Eve (which is also the zero point of the first day). Pay attention to safety when setting off firecrackers. It is best to light it with incense, not directly with lighters, matches or paper, so as not to be in danger of injury. If there is wind, it must be set off against the wind, not against the wind, so there will be no danger.
