Why did you shoot on the eighth day?

Many businesses have set off a "fire" in the "auspicious day" of the eighth day, hoping to win a "good omen" for one year. I believe everyone has heard the story of Nian Beast. According to legend, in ancient times, in order to drive away Nian beast, people would light lights, set off firecrackers, and scare away Nian beast with firecrackers, thus ensuring a year's peace.

There is such a legend, not groundless. According to ancient records: "On the first day of the first month, chickens crow and firecrackers are set off in front of the court. It can be seen that on the first day of the first month in ancient times, people would set off firecrackers in front of the court at dawn when the rooster crowed, and the initial function of firecrackers was to eliminate disasters.

In ancient times, firecrackers actually originated from the sound made after burning bamboo tubes. In ancient times, people used the simple method of burning branches and bamboo tubes to drive away wild animals in the mountains. Later, with gunpowder, it was even more powerful to put gunpowder into a bamboo tube, so firecrackers were also called the most firecrackers, firecrackers. Later, there were paper firecrackers, which were similar to those of today.
