A project for a Mandarin assignment about Lunar New Years. Press space to release the firecrackers, then again to turn it off (it will take a moment to do so).
火旁龍 is the act of throwing fireworks at a dragon. Exploding dragons is a Hakka tradition, in which we take a dragon puppet (usually used elsewhere for dancing) and run it through firecrackers. But why would we ever launch firecrackers at a dragon, you ask? Unlike a lot of other traditions during New Years, this sadly can't be explained by a pun... Actually I can't really explain it at all but 1. Every explosion gives good luck (source: Wikipedia) 2. It's fun (source: it came to me in a dream) Dunno why more places pair firecrackers with dragon dancing, they totally should
