Word origin

The use of firecrackers dates back to ancient China, where they were originally used to scare away evil spirits. Over time, firecrackers became a popular form of celebration during festivals and special occasions. The tradition of setting off firecrackers spread to other cultures around the world, becoming a symbol of joy and festivity. However, concerns over safety and environmental impact have led to regulations on the use of firecrackers in many countries.
