Chinese New Year
Hi, the Chinese New Year is coming, but do you know which day is Chinese New Year? I know it is February 3, 2011.
In fact, Chinese New Year should be call “Spring Festival” or call “Chun Jie<春(chūn)节(jié)>” in China. The Chinese New Year is the first day of the first month in the lunar calendar. And the night before the Spring Festival called “chuxi”<除(chú)夕(xī)>.
① On the day of the Chinese New Year, peoples will light the firecracker and maybe burn fire. Do you know why? I can tell you. Long time ago, there is an monster called “nian”<年(nián)，年(nián)兽(shòu)> it always stay in a mountain till “chuxi”. On the “chuxi”, it will go to a village to eat peoples and their animals. Peoples are very afraid of “nian”, but nobody knows how to fight with it, it’s so strong that nobody can even hit it.
Another “chuxi”’s came, everyone was escaping from the village, none of them had seen a old man come to here.Only an old lady led him into her house and give him a bowl of dumpling.Then the old man tell the lady: “Don’t afraid of the “nian”. It fears the red things and the big noise. You need to wear red cloths, light the red candle, and make some firecracker.”
Just as they finished the firecrackers, the “nian” comes. It roars and roars. But suddenly a red light just shot straight into its eyes, it has been frightened: “Oh, my eyes! What’s that?” then, it heard a very big noise, and it run away as fast as it can.
Now peoples know how to get rid of “nian”, so every “chuxi”, peoples will light the firecrackers, paste the antithetical, stick the good fortune character and stay awake all night.
