Can we set off firecrackers during the Lantern Festival?

Because the legend has it that a long time ago, there were many vicious birds and beasts that hurt people and livestock everywhere, so people organized to fight them. One time, a divine bird landed on the earth because it got lost, but was accidentally shot to death by an unsuspecting hunter. When the Emperor of Heaven learned about it, he was very angry, and immediately issued an order to the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the human world on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and burn all the people, animals and property in the human world to death. The Emperor of Heaven's daughter was kind-hearted and could not bear to see innocent people suffer, so she risked her life and secretly came to the human world on a auspicious cloud to tell people the news. When everyone heard the news, it was like a loud bang in their heads. They were so scared that they didn't know what to do. After a long time, an old man came up with a solution. He said, "On the 14th, 15th and 16th days of the first lunar month, every household should decorate their homes with lanterns, light firecrackers and fireworks. In this way, the Emperor of Heaven will think that people have been burned to death." Everyone nodded in agreement and went to prepare separately. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Emperor of Heaven looked down and found that the world was full of red light and there was a deafening noise. This happened for three consecutive nights. He thought it was the flame of a big fire and was very happy. In this way, people saved their lives and property. To commemorate this success, every household hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to commemorate this day.

What are the customs of setting off firecrackers during the Lantern Festival?

1. Set it off when the moon first rises. Today is the Lantern Festival, so no one will light lanterns during the day. So it should be released at night.
2. When a group of people who are having fun (also called mixing games, community fire, etc.; different places have different names) pass by your door, you should set off fireworks. It means you are happy with them.
3. If there are dragon lanterns or lions in the procession, and they nod towards your door when you set off firecrackers, you still have to set off firecrackers. This is a New Year greeting for you, you should return the favor. Set off firecrackers to express gratitude.
4. If a dragon lantern is "coiling" in front of your door and a lion is "picking green" in front of your door, then set off firecrackers and take out red envelopes.
