过年的传说
相传，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长尖角，凶猛异常，“年”兽长年深居海底，每到除夕，就爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕，村村寨寨的人们就扶老携幼，逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。

今年的除夕，乡亲们还像以往都忙着收拾东西，准备逃往深山。
这时候，村东头来了一位白发老人。他对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家里住一晚，他定能将“年”兽赶走。
众人不信，老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好，老人坚持留下。
众人见劝他不住，于是便纷纷上山躲避去了。

当“年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村子肆虐的时候，突然传来白发老人点响的爆竹声，“年”兽吓得浑身颤栗，再也不敢想前凑了。原来，“年”兽最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时大门打开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑，“年”兽大惊失色，仓皇而逃。

第二天，当人们从深山回到村子里的时候，发现村子里安然无恙，这才恍然大悟。原来，白发老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙。同时，人们还发现了白发老人驱逐“年”兽的三件法宝。
从此，每年的除夕，家家都贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户灯火通明，守更待岁。
这风俗越传越广，也就成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过年”。
