The Origin of Traditional Spring Festival and Legendary English

How did the Spring Festival in China come about? What year? What are the legends?

According to legend, Nian beast is big and small, more than ten feet long, with eyes like two bells, and it comes and goes like the wind; It makes the sound of "Nian ~" when it barks, hence the name "Nian Beast".

In ancient times, at midnight at the end of the year, Nian Beasts would attack villages, and all the villages occupied by Nian Beasts were brutally slaughtered. The horns on their heads were weapons.

People take advantage of the three weaknesses of Nian beast, set off firecrackers (which will scare Nian beast), put up Spring Festival couplets and drive Nian beast away. In order to prevent the Nian beast from harassing again, setting off firecrackers and posting Spring Festival couplets have gradually become holiday customs, and the Spring Festival has therefore become one of the symbols of the Chinese nation.

After the animals are driven away, people always say happily to each other, "It's been another year." Slowly, there is a saying of Chinese New Year, and there is a custom of Chinese New Year.

Let's briefly describe the origin of "Year" in Chinese and English:
