Setting Firecrackers燃放鞭炮

Lighting¹ Firecrackers used to be one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration.

 

However, concerning the danger and the negative noises that lighting firecrackers may bring, the government has banned this practice in many major cities.

 

But people in small towns and rural areas still hold to this traditional celebration.

 

Right as the clock strikes 12 o'clock midnight of New Year's Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks,and the sound can be deafening².

 

Families stay up for this joyful³ moment and kids with firecrackers in one hand and a lighter⁴ in another cheerfully light their happiness in this especial occasion, even though they plug their ears.
