When a baby is one year old, there is a fun activity. People call it “Zhuazhou”. It is an activity on a baby’s first birthday in China.
On that day, parents usually put a small table on the bed. On the table, there are some books, pens, rulers, food, toys and so on. Then parents put their baby at the table and the baby can take anything on it.
If a baby take a book, people will say he or she will be good at writing. If a baby girl takes a kitchen utensil (厨具), people will say she will be a good wife. When a baby takes a cake or a toy, people will say he or she will know how to have a good time in life.
For example, my father took a book from the table on his first birthday. After that, my grandfather called him “Wenhao”. Now my father is a writer, and he writes a lot of good books.

I don’t think we should set off firecrackers (爆竹) during holidays. It is really noisy. Some people fire them during midnight. People around cannot sleep well. Besides, it brings air pollution and lots of rubbish. Most people do not clean the rubbish after they set off firecrackers. So I think there is no need to set them off anymore during holidays.
Liu Ran, 14, Shandong
Setting off firecrackers is a tradition during Chinese festivals. They set them off to celebrate or wish a happy new year. The ceremony (仪式) is very important in Chinese people’s lives. And it also reminds us of one of the four great inventions of China, gunpowder (火药). We cannot give it up.
Lin Yisong, 15, Zhejiang
I think we should control the setting off of firecrackers. During holidays, the government could get people together in a place. They can set off some firecrackers or fireworks and people can watch. It is safer to do this and people can also enjoy their holiday tradition.
Li Qing, 14, Jiangsu
I think we can improve firecrackers. The firecrackers we use now are dangerous. That’s why we cannot set them off freely. But if we can make them safer and better for the air, we wouldn’t have to give them up.
Zhang Qi, 14, Guangxi
Firecrackers are dangerous and bad for the air. But it is really an important tradition in Chinese festivals. So I think we can use something else to replace them. For example, we can use LED fireworks instead. It is also beautiful and attractive. And it is much safer. Even kids can play with them.
