The origin of "Year".

According to legend, there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, with long tentacles and a ferocious face. Nian lived on the seabed for many years, and climbed ashore every New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and killing people. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast.

One year on New Year's Eve, an old beggar came from outside the village. The villagers were in a hurry and panic. Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and suggested that he go up the mountain quickly to avoid Nian beast. The old man smiled and said, "If my mother-in-law lets me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive Nian beast away." The old woman continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word.

At midnight, Nian beast broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house at the east end of the village had red paper on the door and bright candles in the room. The beast Nian trembled and let out a long whistle. As we approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the yard, and Nian trembled and dared not go any further. 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 an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. "Nian" was frightened to disgrace and fled in confusion.

The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers the promise of begging for the elderly. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people all knew the way to drive away the "Nian" beast. Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers. Every household has a bright candlelight, so it is better to wait for the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China.

Why do you want to eat glutinous rice balls (Yuanxiao) during the Spring Festival?

Legend has it that a long time ago, the weather was good, the crops were bumper, and the people were well-fed and lived in peace and contentment. Sudden disaster arrival, flooding in the city, drought in the fields outside the city, it turned out that the queen mother invited the jade emperor to dinner, and the jade emperor was as drunk as a fiddler. After the banquet, there was room to go back to the palace to do things, so Yu wrote it wrong. It should be five points of rain outside the city and three points of rain inside the city, but the Jade Emperor wrote it backwards.

Knowing the reason, Qinglong sneaked into the Heavenly Palace, changed Colleen Chan, and slowly restored the world to its true colors. When the Jade Emperor woke up, he also found that he had written a mistake in Colleen Chan, and wanted to correct it, but he was afraid of etiquette saying that he was careless, so he had to correct it.

Later, when the Jade Emperor found that his Colleen Chan had been changed, he was furious and sent the Prime Minister down to kill Qinglong. The prime minister did so. After being killed by the Prime Minister, Qinglong became a divine bird and cried outside the Jade Emperor's Hall. Feeling ashamed, the Jade Emperor wrote a book asking the Yellow Emperor to issue an order to the people to commemorate the Qinglong who saved them. Every Spring Festival, people beat gongs and drums, play with dragons and lions for several years and celebrate the Lantern Festival.

The Origin of China New Year;

According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, with a long and sharp head, which was fierce and unusual. Nian beast has lived on the seabed for many years. Every New Year's Eve, it crawls ashore to devour livestock, endangering people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village help the old and take care of the young, and flee to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of "Nian". On New Year's Eve this year, the villagers were busy packing their bags and fled to the deep mountains.

At this time, a white-haired old man came to the east of the village and told an old woman that as long as he stayed at her house for one night, he would be able to drive away the "Nian" beast. People don't believe it. The old woman advised him to go up the mountain to avoid. The old man insisted on staying. When they saw that he couldn't stay, they went up the mountain to hide. Just as Nian beast was about to break into the village and wreak havoc as in previous years, suddenly there came the loud firecrackers of the white-haired old man. Nian beast trembled and never dared to move forward again.

It turns out that Nian beast is most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this moment, when Daimon Masaru opened the door, he saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the yard. The "Nian" beast was frightened to disgrace and fled in haste. The next day, when people came to the village from the depths of the mountains, they found the village safe and sound. It suddenly dawned on me that the old man with white hair was a fairy who helped everyone drive away the "Nian" beast. At the same time, people also found three magic weapons for the white-haired old man to expel the "Nian" beast.

From then on, every year on New Year's Eve, every family posted red couplets and set off firecrackers, and every family was brightly lit. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival in China.
