Matters needing attention

Nian beast is also called "Xi". It is an evil beast in ancient Han myths and legends. According to legend, at midnight at the end of each year in ancient times, Nian Beasts attacked villages. All villages occupied by Nian Beasts were brutally slaughtered, and the horns on their heads were weapons. People take advantage of Nian beast's three weaknesses, set off firecrackers (which will scare Nian beast), put up Spring Festival couplets and drive Nian beast away.

In order to prevent the harassment of Nian beast again, setting off firecrackers and posting Spring Festival couplets have gradually become holiday customs, and the Spring Festival has therefore become one of the symbols of the Chinese nation.
