Such things as Yenshui's fireworks have historical characteristics, in this case being used originally to ward off the plague. But some temples just look at the crowds bringing money to buy fireworks, let off thousands of dollars worth of firecrackers, and create pure entertainment that has lost any real significance.
像是鹽水蜂砲，原本是為驅除瘟疫而放，有其歷史特色，有的寺廟只見人潮帶來的香火錢，也跟著買上五、六百萬鞭炮來放，成了是單純的娛樂觀光，意義盡失。
