The Origin and Customs of New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is the last night at the end of the year. The last day of the end of the year is called "year's minute", which means that the old year is divided and replaced by the new year.

1. Origin: New Year's Eve is the eve of the Spring Festival, also called Lunar New Year's Eve. There is a legend: in ancient times, there was a fierce monster named Xi who came out at the end of the year to hurt people. Later, people knew that Xi was most afraid of red and noise, so on Lunar New Year's Eve, every household posted red couplets and set off firecrackers to drive away the animals on New Year's Eve to make the New Year safe. This custom has been handed down since then and is called Lunar New Year's Eve.

2. Customs: The customs of New Year's Eve include eating New Year's Eve, lighting lanterns and observing the New Year.
