The Legend of Spring Festival (China Year) Jan 24

Keep the year old and celebrate the year, and the world will be rejuvenated.

    At the beginning of Archaean Harmony, the world was chaotic and uncivilized, and the order of all things began to sprout. A horrible beast named Nian was born from endless darkness. It is as huge as a mountain, and its whole body is covered with scales as hard as iron, flashing cold and cold light, each of which seems to contain ancient evil forces. Its head is as big as a dome, and it can swallow the whole forest when its mouth is wide open, and its fangs are intertwined with rancid smell; Strong limbs, when stepping on the ground, the earth trembled and cracks spread, as if to tear the world apart.


    "Nian" is ferocious and greedy, and full of destructive desire for everything in the world. Every 365 days, when the new and old alternate night falls, it will roar out of the deep sea nest and wreak havoc on the world. Everywhere, the wind howled, sand and stones flew, trees were uprooted, and houses instantly turned into ruins. People fled in panic under its arrogance, crying loudly, countless lives disappeared under its teeth and claws, and the whole world fell into endless fear and despair.

This year, it is the eve of the coming of the year. The setting sun on the horizon, like blood, dyed the earth deep red, as if indicating the coming disaster. In the village, women, children and young people embrace each other and cry. Although the young and middle-aged people are determined, it is difficult to hide their fears. They hurried to strengthen the house and collect the only food left, trying to make final preparations for the coming test of life and death.

    Just as everyone was in a state of panic, a white-haired but energetic old man appeared at the head of the village. He was dressed in a shabby robe and held a mahogany staff. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he knew all the mysteries of the world. The old man told the villagers that although Nian is extremely powerful, it is not without weaknesses. It is afraid of red, flame and loud noise. As long as we all work together in Qi Xin, we will be able to resist this disaster.

    Thus, under the command of the old man, a large-scale defense war began. They nest, a villager, threw himself into the intense preparations. Men cut down a lot of wood and piled it around the village, ready to ignite a raging fire; Women use red paper to cut out patterns of various shapes and post them on doors and windows. Bright red is hunting in the wind like a burning flame. Children are not idle. They collect bamboo tubes everywhere and tie them together, ready to make a loud noise to drive Nian away.
When the night completely enveloped the earth, everything was silent, only the cold wind roared past. Suddenly, there was a dull roar in the distance, like rolling thunder, from far to near. "Year" is coming! I saw a dark cloud rising on the horizon, approaching as fast as a raging tide. "Nian" looms in the dark clouds, with a huge figure covering the sky and emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.


    With the approaching of "Year", the earth began to tremble violently and the houses were crumbling. The villagers held their weapons tightly, and their eyes revealed their determination and fearlessness. When Nian stepped into the village, the old man gave the order, and the wood that had already been prepared was lit, and the raging fire rose into the sky, illuminating the whole night sky. The red fire reflected Nian's ferocious face, and it gave an angry roar, trying to break through the fire wall.



    At the same time, the villagers knocked on the bamboo tubes in their hands, and the loud noise of "scratching" was deafening and resounded through the sky. The children also shouted loudly, and their voices gathered into a powerful force. Nian was scared by this sudden red, flame and loud noise and retreated again and again. It frantically waved its claws and tried to disperse everything in front of it, but to no avail. Under the continuous attack of fire and loud noise, Nian gradually lost its prestige and became exhausted. It gave the last unwilling roar, turned and fled to the depths of darkness. At that time, cheers and shouts echoed over the whole village. People hugged each other and wept to celebrate this hard-won victory. When the dawn of dawn falls on the earth, it dispels the last darkness, and everything in the world is bathed in warm sunshine. After this disaster, although the earth was devastated, people's faces were filled with joy and hope for the rest of their lives. From then on, every year on this night, people will decorate lanterns, paste red Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, sit around to celebrate the New Year, commemorate this fierce battle with the Year, and pray for a smooth and peaceful New Year. 

    This ancient legend, which has been handed down from generation to generation in the long river of years, has become a symbol of the perseverance and unity of the Chinese nation, inspiring future generations to fight bravelyand never give in no matter what difficulties and obstacles they face.


    The Spring Festival is one of the cultural heritages of China for 5,000 years. It is a day for Chinese people all over the world to reunite with their families. It is the starting point of the year and the beginning of spring, representing new hopes and yearning for the future. Good luck to everyone one.
