　　There are a lot of valid, rich and colorful legends about the origin of the Lunar New Year. They can be traced to thousands of years ago, among which the most famous one is the legend of Monster Nian. Monster Nian was a cruel wild animal. Ancient people believed that Monster Nian would come out to eat people on New Year’s Eve. It was said that Monster Nian was afraid of red, fire and noise. In order to repel it, people would put the red notes on doors and keep the torch alight all night as well as set off firecrackers. Early next morning, people greeted each other. The air was filled with the victory and the rebirth joy.

　　农历新年的来源，有根据。丰富而多彩的传说，可追溯到几千年前。其中，最有名的就是“年兽”的传说。“年兽”是一只残忍凶猛的野兽，古代人相信“年兽”在除夕夜时会出来吃人。传说“年兽”极惧怕红色、火光及吵杂的声音，于是人们就在门上贴著红纸条，并整夜点著火炬、燃放炮烛，来避开“年兽”。到了第二天一大早，“恭喜”之声不绝于耳，空气中弥漫著打败“年兽”胜利与重生的喜悦。

　　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 year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

　　中国的新年是现在俗称春节，因为它从立春开始（二十四个节气的第一个节气）。它的起源太老了，无法追踪。有好几种解释在周围徘徊。然而，所有人都同意，“现代”这个词在现代汉语中的意思是“年”，最初是一个怪兽的名字，它在新年开始前的一个晚上开始捕食人们。

　　有一个传说说，野兽年有一个非常大的嘴，将吞下许多人一口。人们非常害怕。有一天，一个老人来救他们，想制服Nian。他对Nian说：“我听说你很能干，但你能吞下地球上其他的猛兽，而不是那些不值得你尊敬的对手吗？”所以，它吞下了许多在地球上的猎物，也骚扰人民和他们的家畜不时的野兽。

　　之后，老人消失在野兽年。他原来是个不朽的神。现在Nian走了，其他猛兽也被吓到了森林，人们开始享受平静的生活。在老人离开之前，他曾告诉人们在每年的年底都要在窗户和门上贴上红纸装饰物，以防Nian再次被吓到，因为红色是野兽最害怕的颜色。
