爆竹所營造的氣氛

When the Chinese New Year arrives，the sky is illuminated with fireworks and strings of lights to send off the old and ring in the new year. Fireworks and firecrackers,known as yanhua and baozhu,were originally made of real bamboo and were traditionally set off to frighten the legendary monster, Nian. You can hear or see fireworks and firecrackers everywhere,which usually lasts for a few hours. Some people will continue to set off fireworks periodically throughout the first half of the first lunar month.

當中國農曆新年到來時，天空交相輝映，辭舊迎新。煙花爆竹，被稱爲煙花和爆竹，最初是用真正的竹子做的和傳統上用來嚇唬傳說中的怪物，年。煙花爆竹隨處可見，通常持續幾個小時。有些人會繼續定期燃放煙花在第一個正月的前半個月。
