the chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced. several explanations are hanging around. all agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means "year", was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

one legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. people were very scared. one day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian. to nian he said, "i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" so, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

after that, the old man disappeared riding the beast nian. he turned out to be an immortal god. now that nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each years end to scare away nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

from then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of nian is carried on from generation to generation. the term "guo nian", which may mean "survive the nian" becomes today "celebrate the (new) year" as the word "guo" in chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". the custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. however, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.

现在春节俗称春节因为它从春天的开始(第一个24项的协调与大自然的变化)。要跟踪它的起源是太老了。几种解释是闲逛。都同意,然而,“年”这个词,在现代中国仅仅意味着“年”,最初是一个怪兽的名字的野兽,前一天晚上开始捕食人们新的一年的开始。

一个传说,怪兽年有一个非常大的嘴,一口吞下很多人。人们很害怕。有一天,一个老人来拯救他们,提供制服年兽。年他说:“我听说你很有能力,但你能吞下地球上其他野兽的猎物,而不是绝不是你值得的人的对手?“所以,它吞下许多地球上的猎物的野兽,也harrassed人们和他们的`家畜的时候。

在那之后,老人就骑着怪兽年消失了。他是一个不朽的神。现在年走了,其他掠食野兽也害怕进森林,人们开始享受平静的生活。老人离开之前,他告诉人们用红色的纸来装饰门窗在每一年结束来驱赶它偷偷溜回来,因为红色是野兽最害怕的颜色。

从那时起,观察年的征服的传统代代相传。术语“过年”,这可能意味着“生存年”变成了今天“庆祝今年(新)”“郭”这个词在中国有两个“越过”和“观察”的意思。贴红纸,放鞭炮来驱赶它应该有机会运行依然还在。然而,今天的人们早已忘记他们为什么做这一切,只是他们觉得颜色和声音增加了兴奋的庆祝活动。
