Chinese people celebrate Chinese new year because it is a brand new year for Chinese people (and they want to receive red packets).
It's the same reason that people celebrate Easter or Christmas: it is their tradition. If you are Chinese or are interested in Chinese culture/traditions, you may celebrate Chinese New Year. It is just like westerners celebrating our new year except the Chinese choose to use a different date.
Fireworks were made sometime in the years 800s
