Funeral Procession

It was believed that while a newly departed soul sought to go to the Western Paradise, stray ghost would come by and hinder the departed soul. Taoists priest would chant liturgies to guide the spirit and firecrackers were in turn ignited to dispel these ghosts.

Rituals using firecrackers

As its purpose was originally to drive evil spirits away, it was also used in funerals. However, over time, the use of firecrackers evolved to take on a more positive connotation. Thus they came to be used to commemorate joyous events such as wedding processions and rituals during festivals and auspicious occasions
