Chinese Traditional Culture - Spring Festival

The first day of the lunar calendar every year is the Spring Festival, but where did it come from?

It is said that a long time ago, there was a monster called "Nian". Every first day of the lunar calendar, it would go down the mountain and eat all the pigs, sheep, cattle and other animals of the people down the mountain. Sometimes it would Eat for several people. And people have to flee to a mountain to avoid the "year"! Once an old man came to where people lived and said he could defeat Nian. People told him to be more careful and then climbed up the mountain.

After the old man took a nap, the "New Year" came, but the old man was not afraid. Instead, he wore a red suit and placed a few rice balls a little far away from the house. , and then lit a fire with bamboo. "Nian" was very curious when he saw the rice ball, so he took one to taste, but the rice ball was so sticky that it stuck to "Nian's" mouth. "Nian" could only go back dejectedly. Suddenly it heard the sound of burning bamboo, and because it was very afraid of the sound, it ran away in panic.

People came back. They saw that the grandpa was still safe and sound. They were curious and asked him what happened. The grandpa told people what happened. The people were very happy and held a party happily. , "Celebrating the New Year" came into being.

Later, people called that day "Spring Festival"

Celebrating the Spring Festival is really one of the traditional cultural contents of the Chinese nation!
