Modern people are used to calling the Spring Festival China New Year. In fact, the origins of New Year and Spring Festival are different.

So how did the year come from? There are two main folk sayings: one is that there was a fierce monster called Nian in ancient times, who went door to door every twelfth lunar month, foraging for human flesh and killing creatures. One night on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, when I arrived in a village in, there happened to be two children fighting for a bullwhip. I suddenly heard the sound of a whip in mid-air and ran away in fear. He fled to another village and saw a big red dress drying in front of a house. He didn't know what that dress was, so he turned and ran away. Later, he went to a village, looked at the door of a family, saw the lights inside, and felt dizzy, so he had to slip away again, with his tail between his legs. From this, people realized that Nian has the weakness of being afraid of noise, red and light, so they thought of many ways to resist it and gradually evolved into the custom of celebrating the New Year today.

Another way of saying this is that China put the word "Nian" in the grain department in ancient calligraphy books, so that the crops would be good and abundant. Because cereal crops are usually harvested once a year. So "nian" was extended to the name of that year.

This is the origin of the Spring Festival.

The Origin of the Spring Festival

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year. Why is the Spring Festival also called Chinese New Year?

Legend has it that there was once a monster named Nian. I came to the village every year in and ate the villagers' tribute. If the villagers don't pay tribute to Nian, it will eat all the villagers' families. The villagers have no choice but to give it the best and most food at home. I had a great time in 2008. One year, Nian came again. It saw the villagers setting off fireworks. The villagers originally wanted to give Nian a fireworks ceremony. But when he heard firecrackers and saw sparkling fireworks, he was frightened and ran away without a trace. In the future, this day will be called China New Year. The villagers will set off fireworks, light fireworks and present tributes to celebrate victory and family reunion.
