When the New Year comes, a torch, brazier or charcoal basin is lit in the yard, which was called "Tingliao", "Burning brazier" and "Wangxiang" in ancient times and "Huowanghuo" or "Dianfa Baochai" in modern folks. The ancient court meteors were used to exorcise evil spirits or to worship gods and ancestors. Later, Wanghuo has developed into a symbol of family prosperity and an expression of good hope.

1738, Lang Shining painted a picture of Li Hong's Snow Scene, showing the scene of Emperor Qianlong and his children celebrating the New Year. There was a brazier in front of Emperor Qianlong, and a little prince was in the brazier, which was called "burning pine basin" at that time.

The original purpose of firecrackers is to exorcise ghosts or welcome gods. Later, it developed into a symbol of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and became a folk symbol that best represents the arrival time of the new year.

The earliest reliable record of firecrackers can be found in Liu Zong's Chronicle of Jingchu: "The first day of the first month, also the day of three yuan, is called the end of the month. When the cock crows, set off firecrackers in front of the court to avoid evil spirits. " At that time, firecrackers burned bamboo in the fire, making a crackling sound. The first thing to get up in the New Year is to set off firecrackers.

Later, the festive color of firecrackers made people have a further understanding of the symbolic significance of firecrackers: greeting God with festive firecrackers. The sound of firecrackers itself is also a cultural symbol of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new". It can make people experience the difference between the old and the new more deeply and make life more artistic.
