But the other celestial beings disagreed with this course of action, and risked their lives to warn the people of Earth. As a result, before and

already burning. By successfully tricking the Jade Emperor in this way, humanity was saved from extermination.

和动物。但是其他神仙并不赞同这个计划，他们冒着生命危险提醒人

间的人们。结果，在正月十五这个天前后，每一个家庭在门外挂起灯笼，并燃放烟花爆竹，给天兵天将造成各家各户起火的假象。通过这

种方式，人们成功骗过了玉皇大帝，人类也所以逃过灭绝的危险。
