What is the English introduction of Spring Festival customs?

The English introduction of Spring Festival customs is as follows:

In China mythology, a monster named Nian will come out to hurt people on New Year's Eve, so people get together and stay up late to chat, hoping to spend their time peacefully. The custom of staying up late (Chinese: keeping the old age) symbolizes avoiding all diseases and disasters and wishing good luck in the New Year.

In China's mythology, a monster named Nian will run out the night before the New Year to harm human beings, so people get together to chat, hoping to spend the night safely. Therefore, people in China call the custom of staying up late on New Year's Eve "guarding the old age", which means to stay away from illness and pray for good luck in the new year.

Most importantly, the oldest and most senior members were visited, which strengthened family ties.

The most important custom is that people will visit the oldest elders in the family to strengthen the affection between family members.
