What about moving? There is a wonderful fairy tale in it. Now let me tell you!

According to legend, there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, which had long tentacles and was extremely fierce.

I lived at the bottom of the sea for many years in.

Climbing ashore on New Year's Eve every year, devouring livestock and hurting people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people outside the village should help the elderly.

Flee to the deep mountains with their cubs to avoid the harm of Nian beast.

One New Year's Eve, at midnight,

Nian beast broke into the village again. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: I saw the east end of the village.

In the old woman's house, there is red paper on the door and candles in the room.

Nian beast trembled, let out a long whistle and walked to the old woman's house.

Accept it gladly. As we approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the yard.

Nian was so scared that he never dared again.

Go ahead. It turns out that Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this time, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and I saw a nightgown in the hospital.

The old man in red is laughing.

"Nian" was frightened to disgrace and fled in a hurry.

From then on, every New Year's Eve, every family posted red couplets and set off firecrackers, and every family was brightly lit. New Year's Day

Early in the morning, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends. Later, this custom spread more and more widely and gradually became the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation.
