What are the legends, ancient poems and beautiful articles about Nian?

In ancient times, there was a beast called Nian. It is several times bigger than the current elephant and dozens of times more fierce than the tiger. It eats people, and it eats dozens of people, and the number of people eaten by it is countless. The people have suffered. One day, "Nian" came again, and a young man hated it very much. He said, "It's better to fight with it than to let it eat it. Anyway, it's all death." He rushed up with a chopping axe, and many young people followed him. But they are no match for Nian, and all the young people are eaten by Nian. Since then, "Nian" has become more vicious, and all the people are angry and hate.

The soaring resentment alarmed the Taibai Venus in the sky, and the hatred of the earthquake shocked the underground Diwang Bodhisattva. As soon as Taibai Venus and Diwang Bodhisattva discussed it, they sent the ancestor Shennong to the land to collect the Year. Shennong holds a whip, aiming at Nian's ass is a whip. Fierce "Nian" actually fell flat. Shennong ran a few steps, with one foot on Nian's head, and roared, "Bastard, you have eaten countless people and done terrible things. Today is your end." Say, take two pieces of melon bowls from the waist, aim at the "year" and it will be closed. "Nian", which is bigger than an elephant, suddenly fell into a melon bowl. Shennong buried the bowl containing Nian in the ground. When he left, he repeatedly told him, "If this bowl is buried in the ground, it will grow a melon in the future. This melon can't be broken, so it must be said that it is not broken." Later, melons really grew in the place where the bowl was buried, and the people called it "North Melon" according to Shennong's "no" voice. The day when Shennong got rid of "Nian" happened to be December 3th of the lunar calendar, so the people called this day "New Year", which means avoiding "Nian" and getting rid of its meaning. On this day, the North Melon was offered in the class to show the suppression of evil, and gongs and drums, bamboo and lanterns were played to commemorate the merits of Shennong's ancestors.
