During the Chinese New Year, noise-making activities are integral to the celebrations. Firecrackers and fireworks are used extensively to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck for the coming year. Families often engage in the practice of setting off firecrackers as the clock strikes midnight, marking the start of the new year with a boisterous celebration. Drums and lion dances also contribute to the festive ambiance, energizing the streets and guiding the community through the revelry. This cacophony reflects the joyous spirit and hopes for prosperity in the new year.
