期待好久好久了，炮竹花提起腳跟，伸長頸項，站立如企鵝，期待春天的來臨，在路旁，在田野，在花園，在人間……。
當春天哼著她的歌，捏弄著她的衣角，緩步而來，炮竹花便劈劈啪啪地拍著手——拍紅了手，拍紅了臉，滿臉堆著笑，歡欣鼓舞地迎接著她的來臨，在路旁，在田野，在花園，在人間……。
那是怎樣的一種美景！幾個孩子摀著耳朵，顯現畏怯的樣子，臉上掛著天真。一個孩子拿著點燃的香條，伸長手去點燃炮竹，遂有劈啪之聲響起，有漫空輕煙，有孩子摀著耳朵……。
然後，摀著耳朵的手放下了……。
然後，一個個孩子的臉綻滿花朵了……。
然後，當然是一串串炮竹花，一串串春天了……。
其實，炮竹花何嘗不是春天？不是在歡唱春天的歌？拍手本身就捏弄得出春天來，就在歡唱春天的歌！從掌心可以拍出一個春來，唱出一個春天來……。
一串拍起，一串拍起，又一串拍起……。
一串唱起，一串唱起，又一串唱起……。
一串拍起，一串唱起，擠擠挨挨，是一片紅的海，洋溢一片紅彩，一片歡顏，一片童趣，一片春景……。
啊，炮竹花，紅彩，歡顏，童趣，春景……。
Fire-cracker Vine Hsu ChiCheng
Awaiting for long time， the fire-cracker vine stands like penguin with tiptoe， extends his neck， hoping the coming of the spring， by the road， in the field， in the garden， in the world…
When the spring comes slowly with singing， twists the hem of his dress， the fire-cracker vine will clap his hands，–claps into red his hands， claps into red his face， piles fully his smile， to welcome joyfully at her coming， by the road， in the field， in the garden， in the world…
What it’s a kind of beautiful landscape! There are some boys with naïve on their face， cowardly covers their ears. One of them takes a joss stick in burning， stretches his hand to ignite the fire-cracker， so that there sounds the claps， the thin smoke fills the whole sky， and there are the boys cover their ears…
Then， the hands cover the ears put down…
Then， there blossoms fully on every boy’s face…
Then， of course there are cluster and cluster of fire-cracker vine， cluster and cluster of spring…
In fact， is it not the spring the fire-crack vine? Is it not the song sung joyfully of the spring? Clap hands originally can twist out the spring， can sing out joyfully the song of spring! A spring can be clapped out from the centre of the palm， and sung out from the centre of the palm…
Clap a cluster， clap a cluster， and clap a cluster again…
Sing a cluster， sing a cluster， and sing a cluster…
Clap a cluster， sing a cluster， huddle together， it’s a stretch of red sea， is permeated fully with a stretch of red colour， a stretch of joyful face， a stretch of children’s delight…
Oh， fire-crack vine， red colour， joyful face， children’s delight， and spring landscape…@
