The origin of 300-word composition for the Spring Festival
Another legend is that in ancient China, there was a strange beast called Nian, whose nature was extremely cruel. Every year at the turn of winter and spring, people often come out to hurt people and animals, destroy the countryside, make people panic and everyone is afraid. At that time, some clever and brave people came up with a clever plan: set up a woodpile in the yard, put a table outside the gate, and put pig's head, cow's head, sheep's head, dog's head and realgar wine on the table.
When the monster named Nian saw the pig's head and the sheep's head, he came at once and opened his mouth to have a full meal. When people saw the monster coming, they immediately lit woodpiles, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers. Suddenly, the flames were blazing, and the sound of gongs and drums was endless, scaring the monsters to flee everywhere. Therefore, people congratulated each other on their peace, and later people designated the first day of the first month as an auspicious day.
This myth and legend reflects people's strong will to fight evil and their good wishes to live and work in peace and contentment. There is another legend: The word "nian" in China New Year means a good year and a good harvest.
For thousands of years, people have always called the harvest of the Lunar New Year a "good year" and the first day of the first month a "year". On this day, gongs and drums were loud and people were beaming. Since then, people regard this day as the first day of the year, and it has become the biggest traditional festival for the Chinese nation and even the Chinese people in the world.
