It lived in the mountains for many years and came down every New Year's Eve to devour livestock and hurt people. Therefore, every New Year's Eve this day, families and people are away from home to avoid the harm of the beast, this is called "New Year".

One New Year's Eve, people are helping the old and the young to take refuge in the mountains, from outside the village came a begging old man. People have sealed the windows and locked the door, some packing, everywhere a rush panic scene, no one cares about this begging old man, only the east end of the village, an old woman wrapped dumplings to ask the old man to eat, persuade him to go to the mountains to avoid the beasts of the New Year. In order to repay the old woman's kindness, the old man told her that the year is afraid of red, fire and explosions, and asked her to wear red clothes, post red paper on the door, light red candles, and burn bamboo in the yard to make explosions.

In the middle of the night, the beast of the year broke into the village. It found that the village was brightly lit, its eyes were blinded by the red color, and heard the sound of loud firecrackers coming from some houses, so it fled with trembling.
