How did the Chinese New Year come about? to be brief Hurry!!!

Spring Festival, the first of the year, is a traditional festival that every Chinese must celebrate. The day before the Spring Festival is called Chinese New Year's Eve, and on this night, in addition to having a reunion dinner with our families, there is also a very important thing, which is to stay up for the New Year.

1.The original meaning of "year" came from agriculture, and in ancient times people called the growth cycle of grain "year". 2.

In the Xia Shang era, the Xia calendar was produced, with the cycle of the moon being full and missing as the month, and the year was divided into twelve months. 3.The day on which the moon is not seen is the new day of the month, and the sub-hour of the first new moon is called the first year of the year, that is, the beginning of the year, also called the "year".

4."Nian" is a fierce beast in Han folklore, with a sharp head and horns, fierce and abnormal, the year beast has lived deep at the bottom of the sea for many years, and every Chinese New Year's Eve, climbs ashore to devour livestock and harm human life. 5.

Every Chinese New Year's Eve, people in villages and villages help the old and the young and flee to the mountains to avoid the harm of the "year".

Legend has it that there was a monster called Nian, who often came out to hurt the people in the moon, and the people had no way, and finally a god told them that monsters were most afraid of red things and firecrackers, and then people set off firecrackers in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, pasted couplets, and wore red clothes to drive away the year. In the last year, it was driven away, and in order to commemorate the event, people inherited the tradition of wearing new clothes, setting off firecrackers, and pasting couplets, that is, the year.

There is a legend that in ancient times, there was a monster called "Nian", which appeared at the beginning of each year, and when it was worshiped by people, it would bless the year with good weather and good weather, so there was a new year

In China, there is no deeper and broader culture than the Nian culture.

Firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, sweeps, Lantern Festival, etc., these are the most precious New Year's culture handed down by the ancestors.

The origin of sticking Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, and pasting Spring Festival couplets is because of a monster called "Nian". Legend has it that this monster is particularly ferocious, and when the harsh winter comes, it will come to snatch food for the winter, and sometimes hurt people. The weakness of the year was learned during the battle:

One is afraid of red, the other is afraid of fire, and the third is afraid of sound. So as soon as the winter came, every household hung a peach-colored wooden board at the door, burned firewood, beat gongs and drums, and drove the year to other places. Later, it evolved into iron spring couplets and set off firecrackers.

Now, people paste Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers, which is a kind of beautiful yearning for the future.

Sweeping patrol is the tradition of Putian people. It is said that our ancestors used to use boats as their home and lived on the water. At the end of each year, people have to clean and wash the boat they live in, which is called "sweeping the boat".

Later, although they moved to the shore and built houses, this custom was inherited. Because the Putian dialect "boat" has the same sound as "patrol", it gradually becomes sweeping, which is actually the meaning of sweeping. At the end of the year, it's time for a big cleaning.

These customs have been passed down from our ancestors, and we should inherit and carry them forward. And now, the culture of the year has suffered an unprecedented violent impact. Nowadays, people are more interested in foreign cultures that intrude into their lives, and are no longer willing to follow traditional and cumbersome customs, and the concept of modern people is incompatible with the traditional meaning of Nian culture, and various customs "retreat" from Nian activities.

There is a saying that there are only three contents left for the New Year: eating family meals, watching the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's greetings.

To quote a sentence from the writer Mr. Feng Jicai: The construction of New Year culture is a cultural project that is too big and cannot be ignored.

I said that the culture of the year is the most traditional tradition, and we should carry it forward.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a fierce monster called "Nian", which was in the deep sea all year round, but at the turn of the new and old years, it came out to spoil the crops and hurt people and animals, and the people complained bitterly. Once, he went to the village again to do evil, and was scared away by the big red clothes hanging in front of the house. When I got to another place, I was frightened by the lights again.

As a result, people have mastered the weakness of "Nian" who is afraid of sound, red, and fire. At the end of every year, people stick red couplets, set off firecrackers, hang red lights in front of their homes, burn firewood in the yard, gather firewood, chop vegetables and meat with kitchen knives, and make a sound to scare the "Nian" into escaping back to the sea, no longer endangering people and animals. Over time, it has become a variety of customs for the New Year.

Legend has it that there used to be a monster called Nian, who lived in the sea with pointed horns, and every Chinese New Year's Eve it would run to the village to find someone to eat. Adults, the elderly, and children are afraid of it, so people run to the mountains to hide on this day. This year, an old man with a long beard came here, and the people were busy going up the mountain, and the village was in chaos, and no one noticed that the old man had come, but only a good new mother-in-law gave him something to eat and said to him:

Let's go, it'll be here in a while! But after hearing this, the old man said, "Don't be afraid, I will stay at your house tonight, and I will definitely drive Nian away."

The old woman persuaded her for a long time to no avail, so she had to leave by herself. In the evening, Nian came to the village to find someone to eat, he came to the old woman's house, saw the red couplet on the door, suddenly, from the yard came the sound of "crackling", frightened Nian Lian retreated several steps. At this moment, the door opened, and I saw the white-bearded old man wearing a big red robe, standing in the courtyard, and the house was full of lights.

When Nian saw it, he was so frightened that he ran away. Since then, people have known that this monster is afraid of red, lights and sounds, so every year during the Spring Festival, people paste red couplets, wear red clothes, set off firecrackers, and never turn off the lights all night, and the family is reunited.

Now I know what the year is all about.

Legend has it that in the primeval times a long time ago, there was a fierce monster, the name was "Nian", it was very ** by nature, and it was usually active in the deep mountains and dense forests, because it also liked to eat people, so people were very afraid of it; However, fortunately, the "year" generally only comes out on the night of the thirtieth day of each year, hurting people's lives and destroying the countryside, so people generally close the door of their homes before it gets dark that day, and do not sleep until dawn, and when they open the door the next day, the neighbors celebrate each other. Later, in a fortuitous incident, people found that the original "Nian" was very afraid of firecrackers and red things, so from then on, every Chinese New Year's Eve, people would wear red and hang red to show joy, and set off firecrackers when removing the old and welcoming the new, and then the "Nian" never dared to come again. This is the legend of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The day after the thirtieth day is the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, also known as the "New Year".
