Like all ancient countries, mythology plays a big part in the enjoying of it.
Long long time ago in China, there was a monster called Nian(年 - Year). Every year, the monster comes to the village and destroy it,by eating people, breaking buildings. One year when Nian saw a kid in a red shirt, and got scared away. Slowly the villagers found out that Nian is scared of red and big noise so ever since that year people started to wear red and use firecrackers every year.
