TITLE: Destroy together
The Spring Festival is a major traditional festival among Chinese people, among which the lion is praised as a mascot for celebrating good luck and warding off evil spirits. In Deqing County, Zhaoqing City, China, it is said that there was already a folk custom of "frying lions" during the Spring Festival in the Song Dynasty. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone took turns lighting firecrackers and throwing "lions" until they were blown to pieces, symbolizing the drive away evil and praying for peace throughout the four seasons and a bountiful harvest.
