The origin of firecrackers has a history of 1000 years. When there was no gunpowder and paper, ancient people burned bamboo to make it burst and make a sound, so as to drive away the plague. This is of course a folklore, but it reflects the yearning of ancient China people for Aetna. Firecrackers have different names in different historical periods, from firecrackers, blasting poles, firecrackers, weaving guns to firecrackers.
At that time, there was no gunpowder and paper. People burned bamboo to make it burst and make a sound, so as to drive away the plague. This is superstition, of course, but it reflects the beautiful desire of the ancient working people in China for Aetna.
Firecrackers in the Tang Dynasty, also known as "blasting poles", probably burned a long bamboo pole piece by piece and made a continuous popping sound. Nanchang poet Lai Hu's poem "Early Spring": "The new calendar is only half open, and the pavilion is still bursting." This is the scene of burning bamboo poles during the Spring Festival.
