Is setting off firecrackers a good thing or a bad thing?

Generally speaking, it is a good thing. There are many traditions in China, and firecrackers are part of them. They have auspicious and comforting meanings.

But the noise caused by firecrackers, air pollution and the danger brought by explosion are all bad aspects.

Therefore, it is also good to set off firecrackers properly under the condition of ensuring safety and not disturbing the people.

But be careful not to set off firecrackers in places where the government prohibits filming!

Firecrackers originated from ancient firecrackers. Firecrackers, also known as firecrackers, have a long history of more than two thousand years. In the Liang Dynasty, when he was an old man, Jingchu recorded that the rooster crowed on the first day of the first month. Set off firecrackers in front of the court to avoid evil spirits. The first thing people do when they get up on the first day of the first month is to put bamboo into the fire. The crackling sound of bamboo in the fire can drive away monsters. People began to use paper tubes and hemp sticks wrapped in gunpowder to make ropes about the evolution of firecrackers. The book Excellent Popular Arrangement records the ancient firecrackers. Poetry is also called explosive rod because of the popularity of real bamboo. Later people roll paper for it.
