The origin of the Spring Festival:

There is a legend about the origin of the Spring Festival. In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian. Its tentacles were very long and fierce. Nian lived on the seabed for many years, and climbed ashore every New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and killing people. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast.

Then one year on New Year's Eve, an old beggar came from outside the village and told people how to drive away Nian beast. It turns out that Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers.

Every household has a bright candlelight, so it is better to wait for the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China.
