The custom of setting off fireworks

At first, people set off fireworks (fireworks) to welcome gods and drive away ghosts, and later to add color to festivals.

Fireworks originated from fireworks, which originated from gunpowder, which is an invention of our country. In ancient times, gunpowder was fireworks for entertainment, and fireworks were born from then on. Legend has it that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was infatuated with Shan Gui, and long-term treatment was ineffective; Li Miao, a 24-year-old cloth hunter, used the principle of cutting the soil in hunting to fill a bamboo tube with nitrate, detonate it, drive away the evil spirits of mandrill and restore the dragon body of the emperor, so he named Li Miao the founder of firecrackers.

Fireworks are gorgeous and auspicious things, symbolizing festive, auspicious, magnificent, joyful and warm scenes and moods. In our country, whether it is the Spring Festival or a traditional festival or a grand happy event, people like to set off fireworks to celebrate, which sets off a festive and lively atmosphere and brings happiness to people.

Matters needing attention in setting off fireworks and firecrackers

1, fireworks and firecrackers shall not be set off within the range of 100 meters of dangerous enterprises, gas stations, warehouses and woodlands. The flames, sparks and impact generated by fireworks and firecrackers can easily ignite dangerous chemicals and flammable materials, causing explosions, fires and forest fires, causing unnecessary losses.

2. Don't throw lit fireworks at people, vehicles and buildings. Fireworks and firecrackers are set off during the festival mainly for entertainment, and there shall be no acts that endanger the safety of others during the setting off.

3. Fireworks and firecrackers shall not be set off in buildings, roofs, windows or balconies. Setting off fireworks and firecrackers in buildings, roofs, windows and balconies can easily lead to accidents, which will damage the life and property safety of those who set off fireworks and others, as well as public safety.
