      Did you say those bottle rockets going off - 放炮 的 声音, sounded like Chicago? Well, I did not know that Chicago also celebrated Chinese New Year's like that ... or were you insinuating actual guns going off w/o stopping in Chiraq? ... haha. That was done in bad taste! So where were you from in the States? Don't ever say West Virginia, where eating possum is still a delicacy ... feel me!

    That's a cute little tour guide ya got there. He speaks so fast I could hardly catch what he said.
    The evening program is broadcast to my country live every year same time. I also never miss it every year while waiting for the fireworks at midnight.
    Unfortunately rain did also dampen out the fireworks here too.
    It was suppose to be a fireworks gallore this year as it has been permitted to be sold after a long ban.
    The change in governance lifted the ban literally days before CNY. Somehow people still managed to sell and buy some in time. As for me, I sort of was oblivious of the lifting of the ban and didn't get any.
    I'm keeping my fingers crossed they would continue next year.
    Tell you something, a CNY is not exciting nor happiest without fireworks and children(the more the merrier).
    I just love to play fireworks with young children around the ages of 6 onwards, they are just so happy the vibe spreads to you.

      This is what has made me think negatively of the U.S. these days. I am getting sick of how the U.S. paints a very negative picture of China or any country that doesn't follow the U.S. style of government.

      Everyone have the right to live in this beautiful ❤️ world regardless their culture, language, religion, or colours, but the American rulers thinks they are the superiors n all the others are under them, n the American rulers forgot they are the highest debts in the world 🌎. N if they pay their debits, america will be the poorest country in this world 🌎.

    I can't stop laughing at the CONSTANT fireworks!! LMAO I nearly lost it when there's all those fireworks and then the auntie goes "we're gonna set off more fireworks, and then we'll have dinner" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If I'm ever in rural China for Chinese New Year, I feel like I won't be able to stop laughing from all the fireworks going off! Funny how Katherine mentioned Chicago because I lived in West Oakland for YEARS and I never heard anything even close to this. And actually, setting off fireworks was usually a pretty quick way to get the cops chasing you, even on the nights the Warriors won the NBA Championships.

    (7:49) The CCTV Spring Festival Extravaganza is a must watch program in the freezing North-East provinces. The further down south, the warmer the winter weather, the less people watch it. In southern provinces like Guangdong, Guangxi & Hainan, after the big meal people can go outdoors and check out other fun activities. These days audience participation in the south is down to 2-3%. In a large country like China, traditional practices are diverse and cultural preferences are far from homogeneous. The core idea of Spring Festival shared by all Chinese is family gathering, taking a break from work, collecting year end bonuses, having fun, and getting ready for another year. Anthropologically, people everywhere are very much alike as they respond to the changing seasons.

    In ancient China mythology, there was a monster named Nian, who came out to eat people on the last day of every year. Later, people found that this monster was afraid of fire, explosion and red things, so people in China burned bamboo to make noise and put red paper on the door to drive away the monster. Slowly, these methods of driving away the monster became entertainment activities in the New Year.😂
