　　放鞭炮曾是春節慶祝活動中最重要的習俗之一。然而，擔心燃放鞭炮可能會帶來危險和煩人的噪音，政府已在許多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。但在小城鎮和農村地區的人們仍然堅持這種傳統的慶祝活動。除夕夜一旦時鐘撞響午夜12點鐘，城市和鄉鎮都被煙花的閃閃光芒映亮，鞭炮聲震耳欲聾。一家人熬夜就為這個歡樂的時刻，孩子們一手拿鞭炮，一手拿火機興高采烈地點放著他們在這個特殊節日的快樂，儘管他們嚇得捂著耳朵。

However, concerning the danger and the negative noises that lighting firecrackers may bring, the government has banned this practice in many major cities.

Right as the clock strike 12 o'clock midnight of New Year's Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening.

　　這是孩子們的父母和祖父母給他們作為春節禮物的錢。壓歲錢據說能帶來好運，能驅魔;因此，就有了“壓歲錢”的稱呼。父母和祖父母先把錢放入特製的小紅包裡，年夜飯後或當孩子們來拜年時，將紅包發給他們。他們之所以要把錢放到紅包裡，是因為中國人認為紅色是個幸運色。他們想給自己孩子既有壓歲錢還有幸運色。
