Origin of the Spring Festival

In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, with a long and sharp head, which was extremely fierce. I lived at the bottom of the sea for many years in. Every new year's eve, it climbs ashore to devour livestock and hurt people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village help the elderly and take care of the young, and flee to the mountains to avoid the injury of the year.

On New Year's Eve this year, elephants are busy packing their bags and jumping into the mountains. At this time, an old man with white hair came to the village east and told an old woman that as long as he was allowed to stay in her house for one night, he would drive Nian beast away. People don't believe it, but the old woman advised him to go up the mountain to avoid it. The old man insisted on staying. When they saw that he couldn't live any longer, they went up the mountain to take cover.

Nian Beast was preparing to break into the village as usual when he suddenly heard the old man's firecrackers. Nian beast trembled and never dared to move forward again. Originally, Nian beast was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this moment, Daimon Masaru opened the door and saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. Nian beast was frightened to disgrace and jumped up in panic.

The next day, when people came to the village from the depths of the mountains, they found the village safe and sound. It suddenly dawned on them that the white-haired old man was a fairy who helped everyone drive away the "Nian" beast, and people also found three magic weapons for the white-haired old man to drive away the "Nian" beast.

From then on, every year on New Year's Eve, every family posted red couplets and set off firecrackers, and every family was brightly lit. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival in China.

The first day of the first month is called Yuanri, Chen Yuan, Jacky, Yuanshuo and Yuan Yue. Since the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month of the real year (lunar calendar) has been regarded as the "year" (that is, the "year"), and the date of the annual festival has been fixed and continues to this day.

New Year's Day was called "New Year's Day" in ancient times. After the Revolution of 1911, 19 1 1 adopted the Gregorian calendar to calculate the year, so it was called "New Year's Day" on the Gregorian calendar 1 and "Spring Festival" on the first day of the first lunar month. The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, the folk custom of "Spring Festival" was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
