According to Taiwanese folk customs, people often set off firecrackers to create a busy atmosphere as well as pray to the gods for good fortune during festivals or folk festivities.
In order to allow more people to understand Taiwanese customs, as well as integrate the trend of environmental protection, young artists in New Taipei City applied their creativity and recycled disposed firecracker scraps to make them into blessing sachets.
The blessing sachets symbolize peace, good fortune and guardianship, as well as the love for the land and environment. The pattern on the sachets represents the diversified ethnic groups, which have built the rich cultural features and vitality of New Taipei City. We hope that, through this gift, you can sense the cultural charisma and rich creativities of New Taipei City, as well as our blessings for you.
Papers recycled from firecrackers
Taiwanese believe that collecting cracker papers left from deity-greeting festivals can bring good luck, thus recycled firecracker papers are used as the material for making talismans. In addition to extending the respected religious culture in Taiwan, more environmental care that corresponds to the wishes of deities and men is integrated.
