There are three legends or stories about the Spring Festival, about 50 words.

30 years old, commonly known as endure the year. According to legend, in the ancient famine era, there was a monster named Nian in Beihai, which was prominent and fierce. Specializing in eating all kinds of animals and eating people. Later, it was found that it would climb out of the deep sea every 365 days, disturbing people and eating people everywhere, and the crow broke and ran away.

Every night, people will prepare dinner in advance, close the doors and windows, stay at home and eat this meal, which is probably the last dinner, called "New Year's Eve". This night is the closing of the world and called "New Year's Eve". Because this meal is uncertain, it is quite rich, and we have to comfort our ancestors and gods. Those who stay up late, through this night, have a new life.

Second, the Spring Festival is over.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a little demon named Chong, who came out every 30 nights and waited for an opportunity to touch the forehead of a sleeping child. The child who was touched would have a high fever and talk in his sleep. After the fever subsided, he became Chong. This year's Eve, an old couple was afraid of "worshipping" and hurting their children.

Before going to bed, they wrapped eight coppers in red paper for their children. The child was happy and fell asleep while playing, and the red envelope fell on the pillow. In the middle of the night, a strange wind blew and the "special" devil came again. His hand was about to reach out to the child when a golden light came out of the pillow. The little devil ran away screaming.

The next day, there was a pool of green blood on the ground. Maybe the little devil was hurt by the golden light. Soon, the story spread, and since then, children have "lucky money" every year.

Third, New Year's Eve.

People always want to get rid of the monkey "Xi", so there is the so-called "New Year's Eve". This incident was learned by the ancient fairy Nu Wa, who wanted to harm the world. This year, an old beggar came to a village in rags, but her hair was rosy and her eyes were bright. The villagers in the village advised her that the evening beast came, so why don't you hurry up the mountain and escape?

The old woman smiled. I'm here to save people. Don't worry about me. People have no choice but to shake their heads and flee from the mountains. That night, on the distant mountain, people saw the old woman's house brightly lit and full of people. A monster ran around in panic and soon ran away.

People hurried down the mountain to see that the old woman was wearing a red robe and walked out of the door, telling people that the original Nian beast "Xi" was most afraid of red and the sound of firecrackers, and she trembled at the sight. Later, the method of "New Year's Eve" spread, and this night was called "New Year's Eve". People set off firecrackers, put up red couplets and so on.
