Posted January 19, 200025 yr Staff Dear Anon,The original purpose of real firecrackers was to `drive' away evil/bad luck. But because, in most countries real firecrackers were banned because due to many incidence where fire started e.g. in communities such as villages and even house caught fire.Many people therefore, symbollically, hang decorative `fake' fire crackers on thier main door.Warmest Regards,Cecil Lee Quote On 1/19/00 12:05:47 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,I read somewhere that duringthe chinese new year mostchinese people hang fakefirecrackers on their maindoor and display fake goldnuggets in their home andshops.
