Traditional Culture in Life

There is traditional culture everywhere in our life, like traditional festivals, opera, willow weaving, Chinese painting, calligraphy and paper-cutting.

There are many traditional festivals in our country, such as: Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival, among which my favorite is Spring Festival. Because the Spring Festival can set off firecrackers, put up couplets, eat New Year's Eve dinner, give out New Year's money, and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. But do you know? New Year's why there are these festive activities it, here is a beautiful myth and legend story, now let me tell you about it!

Legend has it that in a secluded valley, there lived a monster called Nian. Every New Year's night, the monster would attack a small village at the foot of the mountain, and every year it came to earth, it would eat a person, so the people were often worried about the "year". The villagers knew that the monster would come, so they locked their doors tightly, but no matter what, the beast would come in, steal the villagers' food, and hurt people and animals, so everyone was afraid, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The next year, people have to pack things ready to go to the city after the New Year in the back, this is, a fairy came over, he told the villagers that the New Year beast is afraid of the red color and loud noise, people listen to even sold couplets to paste on the door. At night, the beast came again it saw red, heard the sound of gongs and drums and fled. From then on, the village lived a peaceful life again. From then on, every family would put up couplets and set off firecrackers at every New Year's Eve, and this custom has continued to this day.

Now a..! Once the New Year, it is the happiest time for the little ones, hanging spring couplets, firecrackers, the sound of laughter spread to every corner.
