3. Myth; legend
There is another legend about the origin of Nian. According to legend, in ancient times, our ancestors were threatened by one of the fiercest beasts. This beast is called Nian. It catches all kinds of animals as food. In winter, when food is scarce in the mountains, it will break into villages and hunt people and animals, and the people will be in a state of panic all day. People have struggled with Nian for many years and found that Nian is afraid of three things, red color, fire and noise. So in winter, people hang red boards on their doors, light a fire at the door, stay up all night and knock at the door. That night, "Nian" broke into the village, saw that every household had a red fire, heard a deafening noise, and was so scared that he ran back to the mountains and never dared to come out again. As the night passed, people congratulated each other and celebrated the victory by decorating, drinking and feasting.
To commemorate this victory, every family will stick red paper couplets on their doors, light lanterns, bang gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers and fireworks at this time of winter. At night, vigil all night; The next day, I congratulated each other early in the morning. This has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become a "New Year".
