There is no direct link between bamboo and the use of fireworks in Chinese New Year celebrations. Fireworks are traditionally used to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck, a practice rooted in ancient folklore.

Bamboo, on the other hand, symbolizes strength and resilience in Chinese culture. While bamboo is used in various cultural contexts and can appear in New Year decorations or crafts, it is not directly connected to the fireworks tradition.

Yes. In ancient China, initially people didn't have gun powders to make fire crackers. They put bamboo joints on fire to make it crack and go bang. The burnt bamboo joint was then held by a person walking around the yard to drive off invisible evils. That is why firecrackers have the name “爆竹”🧨 in Chinese, which literally means cracking bamboo.

The origin of firecrackers is indeed related to bamboo.Originally, bamboo was found to make a popping sound when burned in a fire, which was believed to drive away evil and bring good luck. People began dantage ts property of bamboo and burn it in fires to make noises and celebrate festivals. As time went on, people began to improve on this simple bamboo firecracker. They filled the bamboo with flammable substances such as sulfur,charcoal and lime. Doing so increases the sound and brightness of the explosions,making the firecrackers more spectacular and interesting. In this way, the early firecrackers gradually evolved into a more complex and ornate type of fireworks. In China, the use of firecrackers has a long historical and cultural background. They are not only used to celebrate festivals, but are also believed to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace.Nowadays, people still keep the traditional custom of setting off firecrackers at certain times. #SpringFestival Knowledge Contest ~Happy Spring Festival！

In the Spring Festival traditions, firecrackers and bamboo are indeed closely related. Originally, before the invention of gunpowder, people used bamboo to create explosive sounds, which is the origin of "bamboo firecrackers". When bamboo is burned, the air inside the bamboo expands rapidly due to heat, eventually causing the bamboo to burst and emit a loud noise. This noise was believed to have the symbolic meaning of driving away evil spirits and bringing good luck, gradually evolving into the traditional custom of setting off bamboo firecrackers on New Year's Eve.

Later, with the invention of gunpowder, people began to fill bamboo tubes with gunpowder to create louder and more spectacular fireworks, which were also called "firecrackers". Over time, the use of paper to wrap gunpowder became widespread, leading to the modern form of firecrackers.

In summary, bamboo played a crucial role in the early development of firecrackers as a part of Spring Festival traditions.

Well, of course, to put it simply, in ancient China, people would burn bamboo instead of fireworks, which didn't exist at the time. The bamboo would make a loud cracking noise when burned, and people believed this noise could drive away invisible evils.

The earliest firecrackers were simply bamboo stalks placed in fire. When burned, they made a "crackling" sound, which is why they are called "firecrackers."（The passage and picture come from the Wechat account of 21st Century.）#SpringFestival Knowledge Contest.
