Wear red to celebrate the New Year said

1. Some folk say that wearing red clothes on New Year's Day symbolizes good luck and has the effect of driving away evil spirits and keeping peace. "Therefore, on New Year's Eve, people will wear red to avoid disasters. Some people also say: "Red is the lucky color of China, and the color of fire, the color of the sun. Those who wear red will surely be red in the coming year." 2. No matter what the reason is, red is an essential ritual for the New Year. What's more, "New Year's Red" is both festive and fashionable when worn properly. Legend has it that once upon a time, there was a demon called "Nian" who came down from the mountain every New Year's Eve to cause trouble, and this "Nian" was most afraid of the color red, so it was customary for people to wear red on New Year's Eve. When we grow up, we no longer believe in the story of the beast of the year, but red is still the color of joy and positivity in the hearts of Chinese people. Chinese red is not for nothing.
