"The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talisman with new peaches." This poem describes the scene of the Chinese New Year very well. Today is New Year’s Eve, and the flavor of the New Year has reached its peak. A year’s hard work and busyness are just for this day. Lanterns are decorated, and every household has removed the old spring curtains and is preparing to replace them with new ones. Put up brand-new Spring Festival couplets, the old year has passed, and the new year has arrived. Thousands of families are reunited, rejoicing, and celebrating the New Year in a prosperous manner.
Today is New Year’s Eve. Although some people say that the flavor of the New Year has faded, in fact, people’s lives are getting faster and faster, and there is less sense of ritual. Therefore, today, New Year’s Eve, some old traditions cannot be celebrated Di, there are 6 things to do well and 6 things to avoid.

4. Burn firecrackers
"The sound of firecrackers brings a new year to the end, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu." The first half of the sentence is easy to understand, but the second half is easy to understand. It may be a little difficult to understand the half sentence of "Tusu". Some people think it is Tusu wine, and some think it is a thatched house. I think the second half of the sentence should be understood as: Farewell to the past year with the sound of firecrackers, and in the warmth. In the spring breeze, Tusu wine is taken home, and every household drinks Tusu wine to welcome the New Year. The purpose of setting off firecrackers is to drive away the Nian beast. Paste red couplets, light fireworks and firecrackers to drive away the Nian beast, and do not come to your home. This is the important meaning of setting off firecrackers to bring harm to your family. It adds some joy to a festival. Of course, some places now prohibit setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and you must abide by local regulations.
