He Xinchun has set off firecrackers in China for more than 2,000 years. The earliest firecrackers refer to the explosion caused by burning bamboo, so they are called firecrackers.

At the beginning, people burned bamboo and exploded in order to scare away the harmful mandrill. It is said that mandrills are most afraid of fire and noise, so on New Year's Eve, people will "burn bamboo and shoot guns" to scare them away. In this way, year after year, the custom of setting off firecrackers, lighting red candles and beating gongs and drums to celebrate the New Year has been formed.

It can enhance the festive atmosphere and stimulate people's positive emotions. After setting off firecrackers, the red on the ground represents joy, happiness and auspiciousness. Red can make people moderately nervous, keep their concentration and prepare for the new year.
